`required` attribute failing simple test case

[Ryan Cannon]

Greetings,

Having a bit of trouble with @required. As far as I can tell this test
case follows the spec. But it won't work, causing invalid forms to
submit in a larger application:

Is this a problem with the library or with my implementation?

Ah, I see the problem. You must add a "name" attribute to the INPUT element. A control's validity will only be determined if its willValidate attribute is true. The spec states:

The willValidate attribute of a form control element must return true if all of the following conditions are met:

• The control is associated with a form (or several forms).
• The control does not have a repetition template as an ancestor.
• The control does not have a datalist element as an ancestor.
• The control has a name.
• The control is not disabled and not readonly.
• The control is not of type hidden, button, reset, add, remove, move-up, or move-down.
• The control is not an output element.

It must return false if any of these conditions are not met.
