Please stop making bad HTML forms. I know you really want to. Stop. I know you want to add really strict name validation. Stop. I know you want to add really strict email validation. Stop. Stop breaking HTML forms. I know you want to be clever. Stop. Stop making really bad HTML forms. Stop. Just let the browser do what it wants to do. Use proper input types. Do some lightweight sensible validation. Then validate server-side. Stop making really bad HTML forms. Please. Stop.

It's so widespread that people make HTML forms and then FUCKING break them so they can't be filled out. Stop.

@paulshryock let's also encourage people to start testing their websites with text browsers again and building sites that work without JS (which is an optional enhancement).

@paulshryock @thinkMoult it won't happen in the medium to long term. It's a human problem, not a technological one.

@paulshryock Every time I come across a form that has a radio button or a checkbox with some text near it, and clicking on that text doesn't focus and toggle the control, because the developer doesn't know what a tag is, I want to shank them. 😡🔪

So many so-called "developers" would be dead if only SSoIP (Stab Someone over Internet Protocol) had been implemented.
