Description (last modified by )
There are a couple of form attributes such as required that was introduced in HTML5 that should not contain a value. For exaple required="required" is valid but for example required="true" will result in failed validation with true being marked as a bad value.
The correct use would be:
<input type="email" required />
Currently in forms.py attributes cannot be specified without a value which rely on the author knowing that a value of 'true' not being valid but 'required' being ok. it would be great if Django supports valueless attributes.
Perhaps doing:
widget=forms.TextInput( attrs={ 'required': '' }))
will result in an input of:
<input type="text" required />
