    <p>I've run into this a few times now and it's getting annoying. In Dojo there is a required attribute to trigger form validation. HTML 5 now also uses this same attribute. The problem comes in because HTML5 doesns't care what the value of required= is required="anything" means it's required.</p> <p>So on my form elements if I have required="false" to indicate to dojo I do not want this validated. In some instances on Chrome and Firefox HTML 5 validation is running on that input field.</p> <p>I've tried the HTML 5 novalidate attribute but it seems if required attribute is there it ignores it.</p> <p>I guess I should ask a question. How do I disable HTML5 validation altogether? or put another way Why is HTML 5 validation running if I'm not specifying an HTML 5 doc type.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Here is full sample of the issue. Open this in Firefox or Chrome</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.4.0/dojo/dojo.xd.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt; dojo.require("dojo.parser"); dojo.require("dijit.form.Form"); dojo.addOnLoad(function () { dojo.parser.parse(); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;form novalidate="novalidate" dojoType="dijit.form.Form"&gt; &lt;select required="false" formnovalidate="formnovalidate"&gt; &lt;option value="" &gt;Please Choose A Category...&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="one" &gt;One&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;button type="submit"&gt;Save&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
