Button Form When used as a submit button, the name and value props are submitted as a pair as part of the form data.

Form Attribute When a button is used as a submit or reset button outside a form, the form attribute can be utilized to explicitly associate the button with a specific form element. When using the p-button component as a submit or reset button outside a form, it relies on the ElementInternals API, which has limited browser support.

As of now, the submitter in the form event is null because the button cannot be accessed within the shadow DOM to be passed as an argument to the requestSubmit() function ( WICG/webcomponents#814).


Additionally, custom components using ElementInternals may include all values of elements with the same name attribute in form data, rather than only the value of the triggering element, deviating from native form behavior.

Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
