These functions were explained in the previous article.  Typically, with HTML forms, the inputs are validated upon form submission, but you can use these functions to check validity whenever you like (such as when a user clicks or tabs out of a specific input field).

 #### Warmup
 
-Go back to your 'Library' project and add validation to that form! Don't let your users submit without filling in all the fields! Don't forget to use your Git workflow skills you learned in [this foundations lesson](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-revisiting-rock-paper-scissors) to make a new branch, work on your feature and merge it back to main when it's all done.

-#### Project
+#### A little more practice
 
 Build a browser form which collects Email, Country, Zip Code, Password and Password Confirmation fields.  It should use live inline validation to inform the user whether a field is properly filled in or not.  That means highlighting a field red and providing a helpful error message until it has been filled in properly.
 
-The form doesn't need to actually submit, but you should give an error message if the button is pushed with any active errors or unfilled required fields. For the sake of this lesson, make sure **all** of the validation occurs in the JavaScript file. If all is well and the form is "submitted", give the user a high five.
+The form doesn't need to actually submit, but you should give an error message if the button is pushed with any active errors or unfilled required fields. For the sake of this lesson, make sure the `<form>` element has the [`novalidate` attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#novalidate) which will allow you to do **all** of your validation in your JavaScript files. You can still use different `<input>` types, but you will need to use JavaScript to check and report their validity. If all is well and the form is "submitted", give the user a high five.
 
 1. Set up a blank HTML document
-2. Think about how you would set up the different form elements and their accompanying validators.  What objects and functions will you need? A few minutes of thought can save you from wasting an hour of coding.  The best thing you can do is whiteboard the entire solution before even touching the computer.
-3. Write the form elements.
-4. Add the JavaScript code that checks validation as the user progresses through the form.  When a user leaves a form field, it should automatically validate that field.
-5. Test out all possible cases.
-6. Don't forget to style validations with CSS by using the `:valid` and `:invalid` pseudo-classes!
