What is the difference between novalidate and formnovalidate attributes?

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

The novalidate and formnovalidate attributes are used to bypass validation. The novalidate attribute is applied to a form and prevents it from validation. The formnovalidate is applied to input type submit button, which overrides the novalidate. It submits the form without validating.

The novalidate attribute is also a Boolean attribute, but using it won’t validate the form of submission. The formnovalidate attribute in HTML is useful when you have a form with more than one submit button.
