You'll want to check what mode your page is being rendered in and which version of HTML it's applying. In HTML 5 the "required" attribute is binary meaning that if it's present, the field will be treated as required regardless of the attribute's value (e.g. require="no" doesn't make the field optional, its mere presence will make the field required). The "required" attribute wasn't valid in previous versions of HTML, so if you're passing it within a direct <input> or other form tag it would have been previously ignored by the browser, but if it's now rendering your page as HTML 5 then it has meaning and will enforce an input requirement if present.
