how anything will be handled, and only by the grace of UA's kind enough =
to =
process broken tagsoup HTML will it do anything resembling to what you =
want. Don't rely on that, use a real attribute. A classname comes to min=
d.
<input type=3D"text" name=3D"firstname" class=3D"foo alpha required" val=
ue=3D"">
It can more reliable be read using javascript, is valid, and is the plac=

- As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign style =
information to a set of elements).
- For general purpose processing by user agents."
