jquery validate formatting applies automatically and then changes when implemented properly

Question

My form is validating without any call to the validate extension. I'm not sure why this is happening but I like how it colors the input box borders and pops up a dialog when the submit is hit and an empty field exists.

However... I need to be able to remove this formatting because the form is re-used and I'm not sure how to do this since I'm not sure how it's being applied in the first place since I'm not using a validator object.

When I apply the validation properly by un-commenting my jquery the formatting no longer applies as desired.

I'd like to note that there is quite a difference in style between browsers so maybe you just need to handle the sytle in CSS ? — mcgrailm, Jan 26 '12 at 13:46

Welcome to HTML5 and modern browsers :)

The attribute required="true" is new in HTML5 and the more modern browsers can handle that and perform some basic validation for you.

You need to add novalidate to your form tag <form ... novalidate>.

See this SO post on HTML5 form validation
