# Application Form Fixes - Test Report

## ✅ Issues Fixed

1. "Invalid form control not focusable" Error
   - Removed `required` attribute from hidden conditional fields
   - Fields now dynamically add/remove `required` based on visibility
   - Affects: `requires_sponsorship`, `applying_from_country`, `nationality`
2. Form Submission Validation
   - JavaScript now skips hidden fields during validation
   - Proper error display with visual alerts
   - Auto-scroll to first invalid field
   - Better error messaging for users
3. Right to Work Logic
   - "Yes" path: Shows visa type, visa dates, and sponsorship fields

   - Required attributes properly managed for both paths

## 🛠️ Technical Changes Made

### 1. HTML Changes

### 2. JavaScript Changes

- Added event listener for "Right to Work" toggle
- Dynamically add/remove `required` attribute when sections show/hide
- Improved form validation to skip hidden fields using `offsetParent` check
- Better error display with visual alerts instead of just alert boxes
- Auto-scroll to first invalid field on validation failure

### 3. PHP Changes
