Deviant xforms:input textbased types as tel or email (HTML5)

Hi,

maybe I just can't find the right information.

How can I set the type of a xforms:input - i.e. a HTML input of type "text" - to any of the new textbased HTML5-Types but text, e.g. tel or email?
That seems rather important for mobile users because it changes the onscreen input keyboard to a more suitable layout.

Thanks in advance,

JT

Hi Jens,

Unfortunately not. We do this for date and times, but only on iOS [3]. We have an RFE for this though [1], and hopefully will get to this rather sooner than later since mobile is one of our main development track [2].

And I added a few comments to the issue:

It should be fairly easy to do.
