HTML 5 form browser compatibility issue with Internet Explorer

Question

Why HTML5 forms are not compatible on IE 9?

I don't see forms validated on Internet explorer 9. It works fine on FF, Chrome, and Safari, but not on Internet Explorer.

Answer 1

Internet Explorer is lacking most of the HTML5 features, that's why you are having problems with it.

See this site, to find out, what IE9 is compatible with:

Answer 2

由于IE9（相对）陈旧，微软对支持新标准持谨慎态度，HTML5正处于前沿。

You should not go with HTML5 Validation, I won't recommend.

Always remember that users can overcome client side validation, based on different browser type, version and enable/disable javascript or other client side capabilities.

Answer 4

It seems form validation is not supported until IE 10.0

There should be a polyfill that allows you to achieve what you would like.
