...and just to test if a browser has support for things like the email
type for inputs, the bare-bones test would be to check programmatically
if the type of that particular input is reported as "email". Older
browsers default any type attribute they don't know back to "text". So
something like
<input type="email" id="email" ...>
if (document.getElementById('email').type == 'text') {
// doesn't support type=email ... load JS-based validation script
}
