http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10923 --- Comment #10 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> 2010-10-12 16:03:48 UTC --- > The whole point of this feature is that the UA can do an excellent job of > this, whereas the authors of most pages really just want to mark the control > as required and not have to worry about it. This does not match our implementation experience. I agree that of course any author would love it if the UA came up with a great error message for every situation. But as a UA we're forced to use very generic messages that can't be specific to the given control. For example we're forced to say "the number is too low" rather than "surely you don't have a negative age". For now I suspect we'll implement the attribute and let authors experiment with it. In case people like it we'll reopen this bug (or file a new one against the next iteration of the spec) -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
