email, tel, number, range and url HTML5 input types have been added in RSForm! Pro v1.51.11.

I believe all new html5 fields should be available and the user could have the option to select.
Quote"Protecting " RSform users because not all browsers support html5 is not a reason.
I want to build a html5 form using the new input types and I don't care at all for old browsers. What are my options with RS Form?
type=\"text\" is fallback
If a browser doesn’t support a given type, it will be rendered as a text field. So, don't worry about browser compatibility.
QuoteWe would love to add the new HTML5 input types. But what about browser compatibility ? I am guessing that you are aware that not all browsers provide support for such elements.

...not to mention compatibility with older browser versions.
What would you do if your users are using outdated browsers or simply one that does not provide support for your HTML5 elements ?
Absolutely
This really is a missing feature in the year 2014!
