It’s hard to be obsessed with having all ur sites validated when u gotta face unavoidable situations like aria-required lol

I am all for conforming to the standards. What would happen if I remove that particular code from the input field? Would that break the comment field? Why is it there in the first place? What does it do?

Thanks for such a quick reply!

POSTSCRIPT: From what I have read, aria-required is a handicap-man accessibility feature that allows folks with disabilities to know that certain fields are required by way of a screen readers voice alert saying, “hey moron, this is a required field”. Lots of browsers, well I should say some, do support it and some don’t.

Opera and FF support it. IE doesn’t. Ain’t that just like MS to spoil the fun for everyone. And this from a company whose founder feels like opening a swarm of mosquitos on an unsuspecting audience because he is riddled with guilt over the fact that Americans don’t have to suffer with malaria – in other words MS is run by a bunch of liberals who you would think would be ALL OVER accessibility. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO not MS.

So, for now the html W3 consortium is not going to accept aria-required until MS decides to play ball.

At least that is my take on the issue.

I will leave the aria-required value IN. Why? Because I care. That’s why. Even if MS doesn’t.

I think Hussein Obama should print up another 700 trillion dollars to generate some meaningful support for the aria-required compliance issue.
