I wanted to understand the meaning of novalidate directive usage in form tag, especially when used to validate the form.
Thanks
The novalidate attribute in HTML is used to signify that the form won't get validated on submit. It is a Boolean attribute and useful if you want the user to save the progress of form filing. If the form validation is disabled, the user can easily save the form and continue & submit the form later.
Definition and Usage The novalidate attribute is a boolean attribute. When present, it specifies that the form-data (input) should not be validated when submitted.
The novalidate attribute simply tells the browser to disable the built-in HTML5 validation, or ignore any HTML5 validation attributes you may have used. The jQuery Validate plugin dynamically adds the novalidate attribute because, by installing it, you've decided to let the plugin handle validation instead of HTML5.
Try this: $('input[type="text"][name="second"]'). prop('required', false); it just removes the required property on the target element which has the name "second".
novalidate attribute is used to disable browser's native form validation.
You can use it when you need do your own AngularJS custom validation.
It prevents the browser's native validation to kick in i.e form data will not be validated upon submission. Examples include input where type='email'
Note that it is not Angular's directive. It is HTML 5 attribute. Read more about it here
You can use the same ones used by the HTML 5 specification in Angular,so you can add the novalidate attribute to the form element, which tells the browser not to use its native validation. Because different browsers have different implementation validations. Since Angular get validation itself, the browser don't need to do validation implementation.
