required attribute is not supported for validation

OS: macOS Ubuntu 22.04 Device: Desktop or Laptop Any Browser: Chrome 120.0 Keyboard: US Status: draft
required validation form chrome

Phenomenon

The required attribute, which works on form inputs to indicate mandatory fields, is not supported on contenteditable regions. There is no built-in way to mark a contenteditable as required for form validation.

Reproduction example

  1. Create a contenteditable div with required attribute inside a form.
  2. Try to submit the form without entering content.
  3. Observe whether validation occurs.

Observed behavior

  • In Chrome on macOS, the required attribute is ignored on contenteditable.
  • Form validation does not check contenteditable regions.
  • No built-in validation exists.

Expected behavior

  • The required attribute should work on contenteditable.
  • Form validation should check contenteditable regions.
  • Or, there should be a standard way to validate contenteditable content.
