The Low Down

The text input type is used to provide a one-line plain text edit control for users to input a value.

• The default type is text, displaying a single-line text field, if the type is set to text or if the attribute is not specified.
• In addition to the type="text" attribute/value pair, valid attributes include the global attributes, autocomplete, dirname, inputmode, list,maxlength, minlength, pattern, placeholder, readonly,required, size, value, name, disabled, and autofocus
• If you omit the type attribute, include a value of the type attribute that is not supported by the browser (such as input type="color" in IE10), or misspell the value of the value of the type attribute, the default type="text" will show.
• To encourage mobile devices to display a keyboard other than the default keyboard, employ the inputmode attribute.
• To provide a list of available values, use the list attribute along with <datalist>.
