HTML5 New Input Types
HTML5 has several new input types
for forms. These new features allow better input control and validation.
This chapter covers the new input types:
color
date
datetime
datetime-local
email
month
number
range
search
tel
time

Note: Not all major browsers support all the new
input types. However, you can already start using them; If
they are not supported, they will behave as regular text fields.

Example
