[Bug 1375818] [NEW] Missing user feedback when submitting a form with an empty required field

 

Public bug reported:

If a form has a field that’s declared as "required", submitting it without filling out the field should:
 (a) not actually submit the form
 (b) prompt the user to fill out the field

Currently (a) is implemented, but there’s no user feedback (b). We
probably need an API in oxide for this.

Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-
work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#attr-input-required

Test page: http://jsfiddle.net/bU4gf/show/
