Consider following: <FORM ...> <INPUT NAME=id TYPE=number> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT> </FORM> Q. What happens when user sets value and clicks submit button? A. Text field "appears" to be blanked concurrently with submit click, user receives no feedback they made a mistake and empty data submitted. Why does out of range, failure to match pattern or type=email afford usable feedback to users?
