Description  

The HTML <form> element represents a document section that contains interactive controls to submit information to a web server.

It is possible to use the :valid and :invalid CSS pseudo-classes to style a <form> element.

Browser Compatibility  

[1] The Google Chrome UI for auto-complete request varies, depending on whether autocomplete is set to off on input elements as well as their form. Specifically, when a form has autocomplete set to off and its input element's autocomplete field is not set, then if the user asks for autofill suggestions for the input element, Chrome might display a message saying "autocomplete has been disabled for this form." On the other hand, if both the form and the input element have autocomplete set to off, the browser will not display that message. For this reason, you should set autocomplete to off for each input that has custom auto-completion.
