How to programmatically close an HTML5 form validation error message?

After a form validation error message pops up, how do I programmatically close or hide it?

I’m using Opera 11.51.

When the input field is invalid in HTML5, it sets an “invalid” attribute on the element. To hide it, I believe you can capture this event and then return false to set it back to valid:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- // suppress "invalid" event
$('#element').bind('invalid', function() {
   return false;
});
// -->
</script>
