h5Validate ignore hidden inputs :(

ericelliott commented 9 years ago

Yes it does ignore hidden inputs. This is not a bug. As per the HTML5 constraint validation spec:

"Constraint validation: If an input element's type attribute is in the Hidden state, it is barred from constraint validation." -

You should not block the form submission based on inputs that the user can't edit.

If there is something the user can do to correct the values in the hidden inputs, you should attach validation logic to the visible inputs, instead.
