It is optional except when the type attribute has the value "radio" or "checkbox". However, when presented with <input type="checkbox" name="chk1" /> (without a value attribute) the validator will still pass this as valid, even though it is not. The validator should generate an error message that the required attribute value is missing. 5551 1 bjoern 2005-08-27 13:01:13 +0000 This requirement cannot be expressed in DTDs and the Validator is currently limited to DTD Validation; this is a known issue and there are many more things the validator should but does not check for.
