http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1899 Summary: Validator passes <input type="checkbox"> without value attribute as valid Product: Validator Version: 0.7.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Parser AssignedTo: link@pobox.com ReportedBy: sgroot@gmail.com QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org The HTML specification for the value attribute on the input element says: value = cdata [CA] This attribute specifies the initial value of the control. It is optional except when the type attribute has the value "radio" or "checkbox". However, when presented with <input type="checkbox" name="chk1" /> (without a value attribute) the validator will still pass this as valid, even though it is not. The validator should generate an error message that the required attribute value is missing.
