Input elements

Input elements are interesting enough for a much longer and more extensive post than I have time for now, but here is one little tidbit I haven't read anywhere else. If you use an unsupported input type in a browser it falls back to text, what I didn't knew is that reading the type with JavaScript fails also Turns out, I was wrong, see here who to detect it.... CSS attribute selectors are fine, only no JavaScript detection. See for yourself below...

Text input:

Password input:

Radio input:

Checkbox input:

Input Button:

Email field:

URL field:

range field:

number field:

week field:

month field:

time field:

date field:

date-time local field:

date-time field:

search field:

telephone field:

color field:

Go and compare it with different browsers, just to see which does what.
