The form attribute is still current, and used in the example
application. But how would you change it in response to a validation
error?

I'm using a slightly out-dated build (11/13) so the following may not be
true for the current build

... anyway, in this old build, there is a form tag attribute named "focus"
that exactly does what you're discussing about. If present, the form tag
generates a little JavaScript, that sets the focus to the form field named
like the "focus" attribute.
