Details

If you have required <input>s of e.g. type="text", and they're hidden, submitting the form places the pop-up for 'Please fill out this field.' in unexpected locations. Admittedly this is a weird scenario, but the pop-up should be next to the form if the input is not being displayed. At the very least, the worst fallback should show it inside the viewport :) On Firefox 4 beta 10, the notification is only at the top, regardless of the window's position: http://grab.by/8JmR On today's nightly (Feb 2nd), if there's no room at the top, the notification is shown at the bottom: http://grab.by/8Jna Here's the HTML I used to test: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Test hidden required fields</title> </head> <body> <form action=""> <input type="text" required name="test" style="display: none"/> <p>There's a hidden text input here.</p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="save"/> </form> </body>
