* I am pleased to see that Contact Form 7 now supports the HTML5 Placeholder attribute,
but what about Required?
* I think this would be especially useful now, as the ‘not valid’ tips no longer
disappear as you hover over them. I would rather use HTML5’s built-in validatior,
but CF7 doesn’t appear to offer this yet.
* Is there something I can put into functions.php, or elsewhere, that will replace
CF7’s validation with HTML5’s?
* Thanks
