How to remove "Please fill out this field" Firefox message

Post by lanoiabcn »

Hello, I would like to know how can I remove the "Please fill out this field." message, that shows automatically in a newsletter form in my website:
- as a help tip popup (yellow box)
- when I click subscribe and the field is not filled

I'm using a wordpress. It's in two languages, and the "Please fill out.." message, it's shown always in the FF installed language.
It doesn't work with the translation plugin I'm using, so I need to disable the pop up from the web. Is it possible?? It only happens with Firefox. Other browsers don't have this message.

Thank you very much in advance

I'm not entirely sure but I think you can only disable it through removing the required attribute and implementing a client side verification.

Are you sure?
Which browsers have you tested?

I've checked and both Chrome and IE show the same warning

Safari ignores the required attribute.

To use your own tooltip on the field, try adding this to your input:

title="Dirección de correo electrónico"

(in the relevant language, of course)

But I don't know whether you can control the language of the pop-up that appears when clicking Subscribe with the field blank.
