[jquery] Removing html5 required attribute with jQuery

Hi I would like to remove the 'required=""' attribute with jquery.

<input 
   type="text" 
   id="edit-submitted-first-name" 
   name="submitted[first_name]" 
   value="" 
   size="30" 
   maxlength="128" 
   required=""
>

If you want to set required to true

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#edit-submitted-first-name').prop('required',true);
});

if you want to set required to false

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#edit-submitted-first-name').prop('required',false);
});

Using Javascript:

document.querySelector('#edit-submitted-first-name').required = false;

• More Info Here

Using jQuery:

$('#edit-submitted-first-name').removeAttr('required');

• More Info Here

Even though the ID selector is the simplest, you can also use the name selector as below:

$('[name='submitted[first_name]']').removeAttr('required');

For more see: https://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/

Just:

$('#edit-submitted-first-name').removeAttr('required');?????
