"Required" HTML5 tag not working - html

<form id="contact_form" action="/contact-verzenden" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="name" id="name" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Naam':this.value;" value="Jouw naam" required/>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="name" id="tel" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Telefoon':this.value;" value="Telefoon" required/>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="email" id="email" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'E-mail':this.value;" value="E-mail" required/>
<textarea rows="6" cols="30" type="text" name="message" id="message" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Vraag/opmerking':this.value;" required >Vraag/opmerking</textarea>
<input id="submit_button" type="submit" value="Verzenden" />
</form>
When I click submit, the data sends regardless of whether something has been entered or not.
Even though it's exactly the same as the W3 schools example:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_required
What am I doing wrong?

Because you still have value in every input elements.
Try using placeholder to make it look like your design.
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="test" required/>

check this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<form id="contact_form" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="name" id="name" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Naam':this.value;" placeholder="Jouw naam" required/>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="name" id="tel" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Telefoon':this.value;" placeholder="Telefoon" required/>
<input class="textbox" type="text" name="email" id="email" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'E-mail':this.value;" placeholder="E-mail" required/>
<textarea rows="6" cols="30" type="text" name="message" id="message" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Vraag/opmerking':this.value;" required ></textarea>
<input id="submit_button" type="submit" value="Verzenden" />
</form>
</html>

Because you are already giving him value (value="Jouw naam") and also onblur you are giving it a value ("Naam"). So the value is never empty. That`s why it is submitting the form.
Add placeholder="Jouw naam" instead of value = "Jouw naam"
Hope it helps !!

html formular apple autofill doesn't work

I have a simple html formula with many input fields:
<input type="text" id="vorname" name="vorname" placeholder="Vorname" autocomplete="given-name" required>
<input type="text" id="nachname" name="nachname" placeholder="Nachname" autocomplete="family-name" required>
<input type="text" id="firma" name="firma" placeholder="Firma" autocomplete="organization">
<input type="text" id="strasse" name="strasse" placeholder="Straße" autocomplete="address-level2" required>
<input type="text" id="plz" name="plz" placeholder="PLZ" maxlength="5" pattern="[0-9]+" autocomplete="postal-code" required>
<input type="text" id="ort" name="ort" placeholder="Ort" autocomplete="street-address" required>
<input ype="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="E-Mail" autocomplete="email" required>
<input type="tel" id="tel" name="tel" placeholder="Telefon" pattern="[0-9]+" autocomplete="tel" required>
If I call the website with my iPhone and I click on the first input "vorname" I get the option "Fill contact automatically".
All values will be filled automatically except "nachname","firma","Straße","PLZ"
On Safari (macOS) I get no option to filled any fields.
Where is my mistake?

Netlify submit button doesnt work how can i fix it?

When I click to submit button nothing happens. Can someone help me?
<form name="Personal_Contact" method="POST" netlify>
<input type="text" class="inputs" placeholder="Name... *" required>
<input type="email" class="inputs" placeholder="Email...">
<textarea name="" id="" cols="30" rows="10" class="textarea" placeholder="Your message... *" required minlength="10"></textarea>
<button type="submit" class="rightbutton"> SEND </button>
</form>
You might need to add an action to fix the problem.
<form name="Personal_Contact" method="POST" netlify action="/">
<input type="text" class="inputs" placeholder="Name... *" required>
<input type="email" class="inputs" placeholder="Email...">
<textarea name="" id="" cols="30" rows="10" class="textarea" placeholder="Your message... *" required minlength="10"></textarea>
<button type="submit" class="rightbutton"> SEND </button>
</form>
I've fixed it. I deployed the site again and add name="" to my inputs and it works now.

Validating required input before onlick submit redirect

I am writing the following HTML code which requires certain input values and has a submit button which redirects to a different site when clicked. Currently the Submit button redirects even if no value is entered into the input boxes. I want the submit button to only work if all the input values are filled.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>Please enter the following information</h3>
<form>
<label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="" required><br>
<label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="" required><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" required><br>
<label for="UserID">UserID:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="UserID" name="UserID" value="" required><br>
<label for="password">Password:</label><br>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" value="" required><br><br>
<input onclick="window.location.href = 'https://example.site';" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The reason is because your submit isn't properly structured.
You see, if you replace your input submit with a button, it works perfectly:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>Please enter the following information</h3>
<form action="https://example.site">
<label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="" required><br>
<label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="" required><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" required><br>
<label for="UserID">UserID:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="UserID" name="UserID" value="" required><br>
<label for="password">Password:</label><br>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" value="" required><br><br>
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
All you would have to change is add the link which you want it to redirect to in the action defined in the form.
This is the recommended method.
Keep in mind that you should always perform server-side checks regardless of whether there is a required attribute in the input field, as it can easily be removed.

Form is not submitting via Firefox

I've a form that works perfectly fine on Chrome, Safari, but not Firefox.
Try#1
<form id="subscribe-form" class="footer-sign-up" action="/subscribe" method="POST">
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" name="first_name" id="fname" required>
<input type="text" placeholder="Last Name" name="last_name" id="lname" required>
<input id="footer-email" type="text" placeholder="Your Email Address" name="email" required>
<input type="submit" id="subscribe" class="signupbtn" value="sign up">
</form>
Try#2
<form id="subscribe-form" class="footer-sign-up" action="/subscribe" method="POST">
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" name="first_name" id="fname" required>
<input type="text" placeholder="Last Name" name="last_name" id="lname" required>
<input id="footer-email" type="text" placeholder="Your Email Address" name="email" required>
<button type="submit" id="subscribe" class="signupbtn">sign up</button>
</form>
result
Network Tab
Header
Params
How would one go about debugging this further?
I think I may have found something; if you're submitting via AJAX, but not preventing the page submit, you'll have an issue.
Change part of your code to:
$('#subscribe').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
...
This should only do the AJAX submit, and not refresh the page.
I was also able to submit via FireFox by changing button type="submit" to button type="button", so that it won't natively submit the page on press.
You need to add a CSRF token to your form. Assuming this is a blade file:
<form id="subscribe-form" class="footer-sign-up" action="/subscribe" method="POST">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" name="first_name" id="fname" required>
<input type="text" placeholder="Last Name" name="last_name" id="lname" required>
<input id="footer-email" type="text" placeholder="Your Email Address" name="email" required>
<input type="submit" id="subscribe" class="signupbtn" value="sign up">
When a page in Laravel loads, you can print a CSRF or Cross Site Request Forgery token which is good for a certain amount of time. Any POST request needs to have a current one of these, otherwise Laravel will give you a page expired error.

Parameters of the request of a form not sent

I have a problem with this form, no matter which method I use (POST or GET), it doesn't send the request parameters email and pass.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="controller/connect_user.php" method="GET">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" required>
<label for="pass">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="pass" required>
<button type="submit">Connect</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The problem doesn't come from the adress in action, the file is well referenced.
I know I shouldn't use GET for sensitive data, but I used this method because it allows me to see easily the parameters in the URL.
Thank you for your help.
you need to use name attribute to pass data like this:
<form action="controller/connect_user.php" method="GET">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
<label for="pass">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="pass" name="password" required>
<button type="submit">Connect</button>
instead of this:
<form action="controller/connect_user.php" method="GET">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" required>
<label for="pass">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="pass" required>
<button type="submit">Connect</button>
</form>
After you can get thhose values like this:
$email = $_GET['email'];
$password = $_GET['password'];
I recommend to you to use POST instead of GET
You need to give your inputs a name:
<form action="controller/connect_user.php" method="GET">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
<label for="pass">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="pass" name="password" required>
<button type="submit">Connect</button>
</form>
Then, in your PHP you can access them like:
echo $_POST['name'];
A input needs a name-attribute, otherwise there is no possiblity to get it (through GET or POST)
<input type="password" id="pass" name="pass" required>
