How can I change or remove HTML5 form validation default error messages?
This is the JavaScript solution:
<input type="text"
pattern="[a-zA-Z]+"
oninvalid="setCustomValidity('Please enter Alphabets.')"
onchange="try{setCustomValidity('')}catch(e){}" />
The "onchange" event needs when you set an invalid input data, then correct the input and send the form again. I've tested it on Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
But for Modern Browsers:
Modern browsers didn't need any JavaScript for validation. Just do it like this:
<input type="text"
pattern="[a-zA-Z]+"
title="Please enter Alphabets."
required="" />
When using pattern= it will display whatever you put in the title attrib, so no JS required just do:
<input type="text" required="" pattern="[0-9]{10}" value="" title="This is an error message" />
