    You must specify the required attribute in the field.

      1. If the form is submitted by the browser itself or by the submit event on the form:

        • Use attribute required (if there are IE users - then only for version 10+)

        • Use the attribute pattern=".+" (Support is worse than that of required , therefore less preferred, and semantically worse)

      2. If the form is sent from a jquery handler, or there are users without support for the above-named attributes, then event.preventDefault(); can be used event.preventDefault(); in the body of the click or submit event handler
