HTML5 New Input Types
HTML5 has several new input types for forms. These new features allow for better input control and validation.
This chapter covers the new input types:
email
url
number
range
Date pickers (date, month, week, time, datetime, datetime-local)
search
color
Browser Support
Input type IE Firefox Opera Chrome Safari
email No No 9.0 No No
url No No 9.0 No No
number No No 9.0 No No
range No No 9.0 4.0 4.0
Date pickers No No 9.0 No No
search No No No No No
color No No No No No
Note: Opera has the best support for the new input types. However, you can already start using them in all major browsers.
If they are not supported, they will be behave as regular text fields.
Input Type - email

The email type is used for input fields that should contain an e-mail address.
The value of the email field is automatically validated when the form is submitted.
Example
E-mail: <input type="email" name="user_email" />
Try it yourself »
Tip: Safari on the iPhone recognizes the email input type, and changes the on-screen keyboard to match it (adds @ and
.com options).
Input Type - url

The url type is used for input fields that should contain a URL address.
The value of the url field is automatically validated when the form is submitted.
Example
Homepage: <input type="url" name="user_url" />
Try it yourself »
Tip: Safari on the iPhone recognizes the url input type, and changes the on-screen keyboard to match it (adds .com option).
Input Type - number

The number type is used for input fields that should contain a numeric value.
You can also set restrictions on what numbers are accepted:
Example
Points: <input type="number" name="points" min="1" max="10" />
Try it yourself »
Use the following attributes to specify restrictions for the number type:
Attribute Value Description

max number Specifies the maximum value allowed
min number Specifies the minimum value allowed
step number Specifies legal number intervals (if step="3", legal numbers could be
-3,0,3,6, etc)
value number Specifies the default value
Try an example with all the restriction attributes: Try it yourself
Tip: Safari on the iPhone recognizes the number input type, and changes the on-screen keyboard to match it (shows
numbers).
Input Type - range

The range type is used for input fields that should contain a value from a range of numbers.
The range type is displayed as a slider bar.
You can also set restrictions on what numbers are accepted:
Example
<input type="range" name="points" min="1" max="10" />
Try it yourself »
Use the following attributes to specify restrictions for the range type:

max number Specifies the maximum value allowed
min number Specifies the minimum value allowed
step number Specifies legal number intervals (if step="3", legal numbers could be
-3,0,3,6, etc)
value number Specifies the default value
Input Type - Date Pickers

HTML5 has several new input types for selecting date and time:
date - Selects date, month and year

month - Selects month and year
week - Selects week and year
time - Selects time (hour and minute)
datetime - Selects time, date, month and year (UTC time)
datetime-local - Selects time, date, month and year (local time)
The following example allows you to select a date from a calendar:
Example
Date: <input type="date" name="user_date" />
Try it yourself »
Input type "month": Try it yourself
Input type "week": Try it yourself
Input type "time": Try it yourself
Input type "datetime": Try it yourself
Input type "datetime-local": Try it yourself
Input Type - search

The search type is used for search fields, like a site search, or Google search.
The search field behaves like a regular text field.

HTML5 New Form Elements
HTML5 has several new elements and attributes for forms.
This chapter covers the new form elements:
datalist
keygen
output
Browser Support
Attribute IE Firefox Opera Chrome Safari
datalist No No 9.5 No No
keygen No No 10.5 3.0 No
output No No 9.5 No No
datalist Element
The datalist element specifies a list of options for an input field.
The list is created with option elements inside the datalist.
To bind a datalist to an input field, let the list attribute of the input field refer to the id of the datalist:
Example
Webpage: <input type="url" list="url_list" name="link" />

<datalist id="url_list">
<option label="W3Schools" value="http://www.w3schools.com" />
<option label="Google" value="http://www.google.com" />
<option label="Microsoft" value="http://www.microsoft.com" />
</datalist>
Try it yourself »
Tip: The option elements should always have a value attribute.
keygen Element
The purpose of the keygen element is to provide a secure way to authenticate users.
The keygen element is a key-pair generator. When a form is submitted, two keys are generated, one private and one public.
The private key is stored on the client, and the public key is sent to the server. The public key could be used to generate a
client certificate to authenticate the user in the future.
Currently, the browser support for this element is not good enough to be a useful security standard.
Example
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">

Username: <input type="text" name="usr_name" />
Encryption: <keygen name="security" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Try it yourself »
output Element
The output element is used for different types of output, like calculations or script output:
Example
<output id="result" onforminput="resCalc()"></output>
Try it yourself »

Note: The autocomplete attribute works with <form>, and the following <input> types: text, search, url, telephone, email,
password, datepickers, range, and color.
When the user starts to type in an autocomplete field, the browser should display options to fill in the field:

First name: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br />
