+.. admonition:: HTML5 input types and browser validation
+
+ If your form includes a :class:`~django.forms.URLField`, an
+ :class:`~django.forms.EmailField` or any integer field type, Django will
+ use the ``url``, ``email`` and ``number`` HTML5 input types. By default,
+ browsers may apply their own validation on these fields, which may be
+ stricter than Django's validation. If you would like to disable this
+ behavior, set the `novalidate` attribute on the ``form`` tag, or specify
+ a different widget on the field, like :class:`TextInput`.
