Forms for editors and HTML5

Hi DW, 

We are happily using forms for editors, however we feel like HTML5 is not really supported at the current stage. 

The problem occours because there are no way to set the type attribute on text fields, this prevents mobiles from opening up the correct keyboard and besides many javascript validation plugins works out of the box using the type attribute.

Currently we can create the fields shown in fields.png. My suggestion is to allow editors to enter a type attribute in the Text field dialog (see TextField.png) or add HTML5 types in some other way.

Thanks

Hi Rasmus

You will get HTML5 types in 8.8 released 26/1.

You can change the type to a HTML5 specific version from the field settings, see dump.

Hi Nicolai, 

At first I was suprised it was not there, but of course you already thought about it ;)

Thanks

Hi,

 

Was this removed from DW9 by mistake? I tested in 9.3.7 and we cannot set the type.

 

Best Regards,
