Many forms need to gather
information such as dates, email
addresses, and URLs. This has
traditionally been done using
text inputs.
HTML5 introduces new form
controls to standardize the
way that some information is
gathered. Older browsers that
do not recognize these inputs
will just treat them as a single
line text box.
type="date"
If you are asking the user for a
date, you can use an
element and give the type
attribute a value of date.
This will create a date input in
browsers that support the new
HMTL5 input types.
This example shows what the
date input looks like in the Opera
browser. The appearance of
the date input changes across
different browsers.
