Question

It seems with the launch of Chrome 10 stable yesterday, required form fields (required=”required”) are now being handled by Chrome. This is great, BUT now it is ignoring my custom validation script (jQuery). Anyone know of a way to force Chrome to ignore it’s built in validator, and use mine?

Thanks.

You can insert a novalidate attribute inside the <form> tag. This will turn off the browser validation.

Syntax:
<form method="post" action="/submit.php" novalidate>
<input type="text" name="first_name" required />
<button type="submit">Submit</submit>
</form>
