I have a form with a required input field and two submit buttons:
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" name="text1" value="<?php echo $temp1 ?>" required>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
<button type="submit" name="auto">Auto</button>
</form>
What i need is to ignore the "required" when a user clicks the "Auto" button and make it work only for the "Submit".
Add formnovalidate in your button.
The formnovalidate attribute can be used to make submit buttons that do not trigger the constraint validation.
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" name="text1" value="<?php echo $temp1 ?>" required>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
<button type="submit" name="auto" formnovalidate>Auto</button>
</form>
For reference: W3Schools
I totally forgot about this "formnovalidate" attribute. Thank you.
