What fresh hell is THIS now? - Patrick Lauke
<button> is outside form do we need type=button ?
@juryjowns: The default state is to submit a form, which only makes sense if the button has a form associated. Using the default does not break anything, but I personally prefer to be explicit.
But to answer your actual question, no, you don't need it.
<img> ?
required on a <input type="checkbox"> and it gets announced as such
<button>
radio
OSX Yosemite:
text required --> 'required'
text required --> 'required invalid data'
text required --> 'required'
WTF, Chrome
aria-required='true'does the right thing for all browsers, though
[juryjowns] @jitendra @jkva I agree, you don’t need it, but it certainly won’t hurt :) Especially if you’re doing a UI pattern where you’re not sure where someone might plug that button in to your code (like @marcysutton mentioned earlier) .
I did run into VO announcing buttons outside of a form as a form element awhile back… now I’m wondering if I’d set the type=button if it would have announced it correctly.
