Description Brad 2011-08-05 03:08:57 UTC 
The validator for HTML5 flags the onsubmit attribute of the form element as not valid. From W3C:

http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_ref_eventattributes.asp

onsubmit is an allowed form event. 

The error I get is below:

Attribute form not allowed on element form at this point.

...method="post" target="hidden_iframe" onsubmit="submitted=true;">

Attributes for element form:
Global attributes
accept-charset
action
autocomplete
enctype
method
name
novalidate

The error message says that attribute "form" is not allowed on element "form", I don't see anything about onsubmit in it.  A URL to a document or a complete HTML5 fragment with which the problem can be reproduced would be helpful.
