How would this be achieved using script?


One way is to use a button with the following onclick handler:

for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) {
     var element = form.elements[i];
     if (!element.validity.valid) {
         element.type = 'text';
         element.required = false;
         element.maxLength = -1;
         element.setCustomValidity(null);
     }
}
form.submit();

Is there a more elegant solution?
