You can add this script for showing your own message      lt script gt       input   document getElementById  topicName                 input addEventListener  invalid   function  e                    if input validity valueMissing                                        e target setCustomValidity  Please enter topic name                        To Remove the sticky error message at end write               input addEventListener  input   function  e                    e target setCustomValidity                                    lt  script gt    For other validation like pattern mismatch you can add addtional if else condition  like   else if  input validity patternMismatch       e target setCustomValidity  Your Message        there are other validity conditions like rangeOverflow rangeUnderflow stepMismatch typeMismatch valid

You can do this setting up an event listener for the  invalid  across all the inputs of the same type  or just one  depending on what you need  and then setting up the proper message      forEach call  document querySelectorAll   type  email      function emailElement        emailElement addEventListener  invalid   function             var message   this value    is not a valid email address           emailElement setCustomValidity message         false        emailElement addEventListener  input   function             try emailElement setCustomValidity     catch e           false             The second piece of the script  the validity message will be reset  since otherwise won t be possible to submit the form  for example this prevent the message to be triggered even when the email address has been corrected   Also you don t have to set up the input field as required  since the  invalid  will be triggered once you start typing in the input   Here is a fiddle for that  http   jsfiddle net napy84 U4pB7 2  Hope that helps

Man  I never have done that in HTML 5 but I ll try  Take a look on this fiddle   I have used some jQuery  HTML5 native events and properties and a custom attribute on input tag this may cause problem if you try to validade your code   I didn t tested in all browsers but I think it may work   This is the field validation JavaScript code with jQuery     document  ready function            input required   input required  required     each function i  e                e oninput   function el                        el target setCustomValidity                   if  el target type     email                                 if  el target validity patternMismatch                                        el target setCustomValidity  E-mail format invalid                          if  el target validity typeMismatch                                                 el target setCustomValidity  An e-mail address must be given                                                                               e oninvalid   function el                        el target setCustomValidity  el target validity valid   e attributes requiredmessage value                                 Nice  Here is the simple form html    lt form method  post  action    id  validation  gt       lt input type  text  id  name  name  name  required  required  requiredmessage  Name is required     gt       lt input type  email  id  email  name  email  required  required  requiredmessage  A valid E-mail address is required   pattern    a-zA-Z0-9  -    a-zA-Z0-9-    a-zA-Z0-9       gt        lt input type  submit  value  Send it     gt   lt  form gt    The attribute requiredmessage is the custom attribute I talked about  You can set your message for each required field there cause jQuery will get from it when it will display the error message  You don t have to set each field right on JavaScript  jQuery does it for you  That regex seems to be fine at least it block your testing  com  haha   As you can see on fiddle  I make an extra validation of submit form event this goes on document ready too        validation   on  submit   function e        for  var i   0  i  lt  e target length  i                  if   e target i  validity valid                        window alert e target attributes requiredmessage value               e target focus                return false                        I hope this works or helps you in anyway
