            tmpForm.append(this);
        }
        var siblings = Array.from(this.form.elements).filter(function(input){
            return input !== this && !!input.checkValidity && !input.disabled;
        },this);
        siblings.forEach(function(input){
            input.disabled = true;
        });
        this.form.reportValidity();
        siblings.forEach(function(input){
            input.disabled = false;
        });
        if (tmpForm) {
            tmpForm.before(this);
            tmpForm.remove();
        }
        this.focus();
        this.selectionStart = 0;
        return false;
    };
}

My Polyfill works at least in IE.
I use this.form and if this.form is undefined, I wrap it into a newly created form.
So this.form is always defined.

I don't know exactly how it is in the specification, but validation works without forms in current browsers:

focus() and selectionstart=0 is needed in IE11

In line 19 you are definingvar tmpForm , but it's already defined 2 lines above.

I recommend wrapping all that code in:

if (typeof HTMLFormElement !== 'undefined') {
 // your polyfill
}

So then it'll be also compatible with server side rendering.

this is the form version, which and seems to work in IE11, and accounts for the case the form has a novalidate attribute, in which case the form would submit.

Is there anyway to intercept or listen if reportValidity has been called?
