I would like to set up the message tip of a required field in html5
<html lang="en">
<input type="email" required="required" />
The message tip keeps on being labeled in french. I don't know which variable cause the browser to choose any language.
Isn't there a way to handle the html5 interaction languages smoothly (without JS)? I expected the langattr to be sufficient...
Had the same problem
Actually, you shoud use JS to achieve that. On another hand, you could recompile your browser from source and change manually texts that are not in your desired language if you absolutely do not want to use JS.
Yes, you should use
setCustomValidity("Votre Custom Mensaje Naturlish");
whithin an oninvalid handler function attached to the input element.
Something like:
<input type="email" oninvalid="handlerToCall(this)" required="required" />
Here you'll find answers that are valid and do work for what you want to do.
Try the jsfiddle live examples and you'll see for yourself :)

I made a page using a form with few input "number". I used the html output tag to display the result. But in MSIE, the calculations were performed, but the output tag would not display them. Is there a simple workaround or alternative? It works if i use an input tag in place of the output tag, but then the result is displayed in a box which doesn't format very nice. (I thought the solution would be rather simple, like: (-"I have variableresult apples." - )
HTML 5 output tag is not supported on IE (or EDGE). So you are stuck with using input tag. You can, however, always use CSS to fix the layout of your screen.
If you want to support IE, you would have to go the old fashion way i.e. use JS with CSS
Output tag is not supported by MSIE or Edge according to W3Schools, a solution using Javascript can be found here. Additionally you can just use CSS to style the output-input as you wish.
I write a code might helps you, because I didn't clear with your question.
<form onsubmit="return false" oninput="o.value = parseInt(a.value) + parseInt(b.value)">
<input name="a" type="number" step="any"> +
<input name="b" type="number" step="any"> =
<output name="o"></output>
</form>
I made simple calculator.
OUTPUT tag will not support in IE.
How can I change the messages of HTML5 (or doses it change according to browser's language automatically?)
For example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
E-mail: <input type="email" name="user_email" /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I run this code (from W3schools) at Opera and write a non valid e-mail address it says
Please enter a valid email address
How can I change it to another language instead of English or change the warning to what I want?
Well there are different options.
You can disable the form validation of the form (or the field) with formnovalidate and provide a custom error message with javascript (and serverside ofcourse).
You can use javascript and use the .setCustomValidity() method to provide a (custom) error message but it is intended to add extra rules to the field.
You can use x-moz-errormessage to set a custom errormessage. But using this you need to know that this is not a standard.
There are no built-in internationalisation solutions currently in HTML(5) and all proposals seem dead. However you may find the Passive Localisation JavaScript library of some use. Online demonstration can be found here.
I have a hidden input field in my form. I noticed that if that field's value is changed by javascript, and then the user refreshes the page, that same value will be set when the page reloads. From what I've seen, this only happens in Firefox.
I've solved this unwanted behaviour by adding autocomplete="off" to that hidden input, but W3C doesn't like this solution, and if i validate the page I get the error:
Attribute autocomplete not allowed on element input at this point.
Apparently, the autocomplete attribute works only on specific inputs - see here.
So is there any solution that will satisfy both W3C and Firefox?
To validate (which I wouldn't put as much effort into as you are) I think you could use autocomplete="off" on the entire form, then turn it back on selectively, like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
</head>
<body>
<form autocomplete="off">
<input type="hidden" name="test">
<input type="text" name="otherfield" autocomplete="on">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I initially thought this was a Firefox bug but after discussion with robertc in the comments, I think expected behavior depends on specific use cases. The spec doesn't allow autocompletion on hidden fields so my first reaction still feels right, but Firefox's implementation might have some good arguments to support it. Please comment.
Alternatively, you could use <input type="text" style="display: none;" autocomplete="off" /> instead. It's a bit of a hack, but it should work!
The caching in Firefox is actually quite a good feature a lot of the time, but it does cause some problems when you build more dynamic forms.
I was contacted by my client saying that users complaint saying that some fields now show a tooltip with a message "Please Fill out This Field". I couldn't believe what I heard... but the client is right - using latest Chrome version some fields show a browser tooltip with this message even side by side with my validators!
What's the problem? What am I missing?
Thanks.
EDIT:
The HTML generated by my user control is as follows:
<input name="tbMontante" type="text" maxlength="8" size="10" tbMontante" class="Montantetextfield"
FieldName="Montante"
Required="True"
AllowDecimalValues="True"
/>
EDIT:
My doctype is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Should my browser use HTML 5 to parse it?
Are you using the HTML5 required attribute?
That will cause Chrome 10 to display a balloon prompting the user to fill out the field.
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sec-forms.html#element-attrdef-form-novalidate
You can disable the validation in the form.
Put novalidate="novalidate" on <form> tag.
<form novalidate="novalidate">
...
</form>
In XHTML, attribute minimization is forbidden, and the novalidate
attribute must be defined as <form novalidate="novalidate">.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_novalidate.asp
To stop that Html5 popup/balloon in Web-kit browser use following CSS
::-webkit-validation-bubble-message { display: none; }
As I mentioned in your other question:
The problem to do with that fact, that you invented your own non-standard attributes (which you shouldn't have done in the first place), and now new standardized attributes (or attributes in the process of being standardized) are colliding with them.
The proper solution is to completely remove your invented attributes and replace them with
something sensible, for example classes (class="Montantetextfield fieldname-Montante required allow-decimal-values"), or store them in JavaScript:
var validationData = {
"Montante": {fieldname: "Montante", required: true, allowDecimalValues: true}
}
If the proper solution isn't viable, you'll have to rename them. In that case you should use the prefix data-... because that is reserved by HTML5 for such purposes, and it's less likely to collide with something - but it still could, so you should seriously consider the first solution - even it is more work to change.
You need to add the attribute "formnovalidate" to the control that is triggering the browser validation, e.g.:
<input type="image" id="fblogin" formnovalidate src="/images/facebook_connect.png">
If you have an html form containing one or more fields with "required" attributes, Chrome (on last versions) will validate these fields before submitting the form and, if they are not filled, some tooltips will be shown to the users to help them getting the form submitted (I.e. "please fill out this field").
To avoid this browser built-in validation in forms you can use "novalidate" attribute on your form tag.
This form won't be validated by browser:
<form id="form-id" novalidate>
<input id="input-id" type="text" required>
<input id="submit-button" type="submit">
</form>
In Chrome (v.56 is what I'm using but I AFAIK this applies generally) you can set title=" " (a single space) and the automatic title text will be overridden and nothing displayed. (If you try to make it just an empty string, though, it will treat it as if it isn't set and add that automatic tooltip text you've been getting).
I haven't tested this in other browsers, because I found it whilst making a Google Chrome Extension. I'm sure once I port things to other browsers, though, I'll see if it works in them (if even necessary), too.
Hey, we just did a global find-replace, changing Required=" to jRequired=". Then you just change it in the jquery code as well (jquery_helper.js -> Function ValidateControls). Now our validation continues as before and Chrome leaves us alone! :)
How do you impose a character limit on a text input in HTML?
There are 2 main solutions:
The pure HTML one:
<input type="text" id="Textbox" name="Textbox" maxlength="10" />
The JavaScript one (attach it to a onKey Event):
function limitText(limitField, limitNum) {
if (limitField.value.length > limitNum) {
limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum);
}
}
But anyway, there is no good solution. You can not adapt to every client's bad HTML implementation, it's an impossible fight to win. That's why it's far better to check it on the server side, with a PHP / Python / whatever script.
there's a maxlength attribute
<input type="text" name="textboxname" maxlength="100" />
In addition to the above, I would like to point out that client-side validation (HTML code, javascript, etc.) is never enough. Also check the length server-side, or just don't check at all (if it's not so important that people can be allowed to get around it, then it's not important enough to really warrant any steps to prevent that, either).
Also, fellows, he (or she) said HTML, not XHTML. ;)
use the "maxlength" attribute as others have said.
if you need to put a max character length on a text AREA, you need to turn to Javascript. Take a look here: How to impose maxlength on textArea in HTML using JavaScript
For the <input> element there's the maxlength attribute:
<input type="text" id="Textbox" name="Textbox" maxlength="10" />
(by the way, the type is "text", not "textbox" as others are writing), however, you have to use javascript with <textarea>s. Either way the length should be checked on the server anyway.
you can set maxlength with jquery which is very fast
jQuery(document).ready(function($){ //fire on DOM ready
setformfieldsize(jQuery('#comment'), 50, 'charsremain')
})
