I think it's inconsistent and we had better add an exceptional rule for radio button groups. <form> <input type=radio name=group1 id=radio1> <input type=radio name=group1 required> </form> ================================================================================ #1 Marat Tanalin | tanalin.com 2012-01-25 11:27:41 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, radio buttons is a case where having @required attribute for fieldset would be handy: <fieldset required> <input type="radio" name="group1" id="radio1" /> <input type="radio" name="group1" /> </fieldset> So we could use FIELDSET:required instead of INPUT:required. ================================================================================ 74543 1 ian 2012-09-26 04:00:42 +0000 This would require "spooky action at a distance" in selectors. I think if you want :required to match, it's reasonable to require you to set the attribute also.
