Definition and Usage

The formNoValidate property sets or returns whether the form-data should be validated or not, when submitted.

When set to true, this property adds the "formnovalidate" attribute to the submit button, and specifies that the form-data should not be validated when submitted. This overrides the form's novalidate attribute.

Note: The formnovalidate attribute is new for the <input> element with type="submit" in HTML5.
