The Low Down

The Boolean formnovalidate attribute prevents a form from being validated, similar to the novalidate attribute of the <form> element, preventing the associated form from native client-side validation.

  • The Boolean formnovalidate attribute is applicable for <input> of type=submit and type=image or as an attribute of the <button> element.
  • The formnovalidate attribute could be used in a situation where a form needed to be “saved” but not “submitted”, when invalid data is OK for now. Example: Doing your taxes online, a number field could have the value “ask Diane in accounting about this” as a note-to-self.
  • Safari, Safari iOS and Anroid accept the attribute but it don’t actually work (because they don’t have form validation anyway).
