https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22802 Bug ID: 22802 Summary: Validation of the select element and empty options differ from the HTML5 spec Classification: Unclassified Product: Validator (Nu) Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: General Assignee: mike+validator@w3.org Reporter: laurent.goderre@gmail.com QA Contact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org When I validate this page: http://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew/demos/formvalid/formvalid-eng.html I Get the following error: Error: Element option without attribute label must not be empty. >From line 104, column 9; to line 104, column 17 >↩<option></option>↩<opti Here is what the spec says about empty option elements (http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/forms.html#placeholder-label-option) If a select element has a required attribute specified, does not have a multiple attribute specified, and has a display size of 1; and if the value of the first option element in the select element's list of options (if any) is the empty string, and that option element's parent node is the select element (and not an optgroup element), then that option is the select element's placeholder label option. An empty option element should be permitted as the first child of an select element. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
