[html5] help with form validation issue please?

[Brett Ryan]

Boolean attributes are supplied by either the presence of the attribute with no value (i.e. 'required') or by specifying the value as the name of the attribute.

So you must specify one of the following:

<input type="text" required/>

or

<input type="text" required="required"/>
