Bug 77454 – Add support for custom messages on form field error's validation

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: Forms

[Daniel Filho]

Just as Mozilla did on Firefox, it would be great if we could customize the error message given to the user, as it tries to submit a form.

Currently, a default message is shown, but I'd like to choose what to tell the user (i.e. in my language).

Mozilla has the x-moz-errormessage, and can be checked out here: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/Input#attr-x-moz-errormessage

This is my first time here, so, I'm sorry if I did something wrong or some lack of info.

You have to announce this to webkit-dev.
http://www.webkit.org/coding/adding-features.html

I guess some objections will be made because this feature is not standardized at all.

Hmm on second thought, I think i'll just withdraw this patch for now.  This was my first patch attempt for webkit and I wanted to try something simple to get started, but I'd rather not checkin something non-standard :)
