Trigger standard HTML5 validation (form) without using submit button?

Question

Anyone who know how I can trigger the standard HTML5 validation in a form without using a submit button? (JavaScript or jQuery).

I do not want to se

Answer 1

form.submit() doesn't work cause the HTML5 validation is performed before the form submition. When you click on a submit button, the HTML5 validation is trigerred and then the form is submited if validation was successfull.
