This commodity with input types (particularly search, tel, url and email) may possibly be the only one we can offer out-of-the-box if we want to continue supporting IE6 without javascript. This would still be welcome though, and certainly a step in the right direction. In principle, the HTML5 doctype is fully backwards and forwards compatible with any browser so that can't hurt [1]. Since the patch is small, then it would be very quick to test it in all browsers right away, no? :-) Julien [1] http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-doctype/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
