I recently wrote a simple HTML5 form test page and I noticed the following in Mac Safari (5.0.3):
- a numbers field won't use the increment/decrement toggle buttons for decimals. - datetime, datetime-local and date are only demonstrating a text input. I believe Opera displays a proper calendar, which from what I understand, is a goal of having those fields. This also doubles as a problem because of the date format. I've had clients which requested mm-dd-yy format. Perhaps something more complex such as a MySQL formatting could help, but then we get back to the whole calendar presentation issue. - time defaults to a 24 hour clock format. - range has the slider, but there is nothing to demonstrate what the minimum and maximum values are, along with chosen value and incremental values. - field specific validation on the form submit didn't throw any errors, but was demonstrated in other browsers They all "work", but it seems quite far from where we could call it "useable" without having to rewrite the majority of code to wrap around it. Not to mention the differences amongst browsers. I can see BBEdit being inside the realm of providing dialog boxes (what I called the GUI) with options for things like range limits, step values, etc. On 2011-02-07, at 2:29 PM, Robert A.
