Michael Day commented on WICKET-5331:
-------------------------------------
Are you sure this is fixed? StringValidator is still adding minlength even if
the behavior is not applied.
> Make html5 form validation configurable
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: WICKET-5331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5331
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 6.10.0
> Reporter: Ulrike M
> Assignee: Sven Meier
> Fix For: 6.11.0, 7.0.0-M1
>
> Attachments: HTML5Forms.java
>
>
> Due to WICKET-5289, Wicket 6.10.0 adds html5 'required' attributes to all
> TextArea and TextFields.
> This causes html5 compliant browsers (e.g. Firefox) to display a generic
> error ('Please fill out this field') on such text fields if left empty.
> Compared to the error messages one can display using wicket's validation
> infrastructure, this is a rather poor user experience. Since browsers don't
> submit the form if a html5 validation message is displayed, there's no way to
> provide a more meaningful error message.
> Unfortunately, there is currently no easy way to disable html5 form
> validation in a wicket web app. It is now necessary to create subclasses of
> TextField and TextArea that revert the undesired behavior of those
> components, which is obviously a lot of work. There should be an easy way to
> disable the generation of html5 form validation attributes. I would like to
> propose the introduction of a global setting (maybe in IMarkupSettings or
> some other I*Settings interface?) that controls the automatic generation of
> all html5 form validation attributes.
