-IMPORTANT: The search, telephone, date, time, URL, and email inputs are HTML5 controls. If you require your app to have a consistent experience in older browsers, you will need an HTML5 polyfill (provided by CSS and/or JavaScript). There is definitely "no shortage of solutions for this":https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills, although a couple of popular tools at the moment are "Modernizr":http://www.modernizr.com/ and "yepnope":http://yepnopejs.com/, which provide a simple way to add functionality based on the presence of detected HTML5 features.

 TIP: If you're using password input fields (for any purpose), you might want to configure your application to prevent those parameters from being logged. You can learn about this in the "Security Guide":security.html#logging.
