support html5 required attribute for the comments form
Now that both Opera and Firefox 4b6 [1] support the required attribute [2] for comments forms, I patched TXP to make use of them.
Patch available here. Screenshot of a default TXP comment form (with the default styling provided by Gecko – note that the disabled submit button should not be flagged, that is a currently an open bug…)
While I was at it, I also added type="email" [3] and type="url" [4] for the appropriate fields (android/iOS/… users may appreciate that).
The patch generates the following html code
<input type="text" value="" name="name" size="25" class="comment_name_input" id="name" required>
<input type="email" value="" name="email" size="25" class="comment_email_input" id="email" required>
<input type="url" value="" name="web" size="25" class="comment_web_input" id="web">Completely un-styled sample form
