Ian, "The required attribute applies to all form controls except controls with the type hidden, image inputs, buttons, and select, fieldset, and output elements. It can be used on controls with the readonly attribute set; this may be useful in scripted environments. For disabled controls, the attribute has no effect." -- http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#required However, at http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#summary, the only controls that can have the 'required' attribute are: text, password, file, datetime, datetime-local, date, month, week, time, number, range, email, uri. * 'checkbox' and 'radio' should definitely be marked as 'Yes' in the table. I also think that the original paragraph should be clarified; I had trouble understanding whether 'buttons' in the original text referred to 'button-like controls' or 'the <button> control' (does 'move-up' need to be implemented as a 'button'?). Would it be easier to make it an inclusive list? Regards, Malcolm
