Summary :invalid is being applied too early

:invalid is being applied to form elements before they are attempted to be submitted, even while the user is typing. If I type "f" to begin "foo@example.com", the input element will already turn red. This is like telling the user they are making a mistake before they actually have. For that reason, I will use the novalidate attribute until Webkit no longer tells my users they are wrong prematurely. (In some cases I cannot seem to reliably reproduce, :invalid is even being applied before the user focuses in the element.)

This behavior is defined by the standard and Opera and Firefox 4 have the same behavior.

Is there any work being done to implement something like Mozilla’s :-moz-ui-invalid? It addresses the concerns here (without redefining the standard, but rather adding to it).

(In reply to comment #2) > Is there any work being done to implement something like Mozilla’s :-moz-ui-invalid? It addresses the concerns here (without redefining the standard, but rather adding to it). AFAIK, no one is working on or has a plan of it. It's welcome for someone to write a patch for it.
