Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Firefox 4 and new Form Validation "Features" (or is that bug!)

Is it true that this concerns whole OpenACS or is it specific to Xowiki?
The problem for xowiki is that (in conjunction with certain versions of Tdom only, I think) it adds required=false to elements that are meant to be not required. Which is erroneous since required is a boolean attribute, which means its presence indicates true, absence false.
Does the form builder outside xowiki also add a required attribute?
Yep, there it is:

<input type="text" size="80" id="F.en:photo246._page_order" name="_page_order" value="" required="false">

....and no, other forms outside xowiki do not have this added.

OK, so really this needs to be removed since it is not a correct rendition of the HTML standard anyway, and it has no place in an HTML 4 document.

I will hunt it down!

Thanks for the tip.
