My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• CSS Grid
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

• Using Constraint Validation APIs
• Email typeMismatch allows email addresses without a top-level domain, i.e. x@y is a valid email
• Using patternMismatch to accept only emails with top-level domain
• Setting novalidate with JavaScript instead of HTML allows for native form validation fallback when JavaScript fails
• Considerations for full-height images and larger viewports

Useful resources

• Client-side form validation
• Contraint validation
• input email validation
• ARIA invalid
• ARIA describedby
• ARIA errormessage
