this is a test code :

<form method="post" action="somepage.php">
  <input type="text" name="test_input" required />
  <textarea name="test_textarea" required></textarea>
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

It works well in firefox, but not in chrome / edge. Hovering the let a message appears (the field is required), but not with the textarea.

thanks a lot!

This code works fine in Firefox, Chrome. Maybe try removing the / in /> for the element input as we don't need it for input elements.

Remember to upvote this answer if it solves the problem.

The main purpose of required attribute is to run a validation when submitting, which works fine in both browsers.

Chrome not showing the tooltip for <textarea> is a known bug.
