I have a form spread across two pages. I'm trying to validate the email address but whenever I put in a bad email I get an error in the console that says an invalid form control is not focusable
The easiest way to test the snippet:
- LEAVE FIRST AND LAST NAME BLANK
- ENTER A SINGLE LETTER FOR EMAIL ADDRESS
- CLICK ON NEXT
- CLICK ON SUBMIT
- CHECK THE CONSOLE FOR ERROR MESSAGE
This stackoverflow answer not focusable Does not answer the question. The email input does not have "REQUIRED" and all buttons have type='BUTTON' except the submit but that has a click function associated with it.
