Problem using attribute required

[repher]

Hello!

I'm working with cakephp and therefore getting on all reuired input field the attribute "required" set. This does not work with bootstrap-select because it's hidden and therefore the user doesn't get any feedback.

Original:

<select name="somename" required="required" id="someid" >
    ...
</select>

Error message in Chrome:
An invalid form control with name='membership[0][year]' is not focusable.

The required attribute gets added by several framworks for all required fields. For example CakePHP.

A possible solution would be to remove all required attributes on selects that get hidden by bootstrap-select. Since there should always be some server side validation, this would not hurt anybody.
