           Summary: Implementation of inputmode attribute
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dom at w3.org


XHTML MP 1.2 and XHTML Basic 1.1 provide the "inputmode" attribute on <input>
and <textarea>, allowing the author to indicate what kind of input is expected
on those fields (e.g. numeric, or uppercase).
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-xhtml-basic-20070713/#s_inputmode

It is particularly useful on mobile devices, where the limited keyboard makes
these indications a great hint to active either the numeric input or the
alphabetical mode.

I believe the WAP equivalent (based on CSS properties rather than markup) is
already implemented in webkit, so implementing the markup version may re-use
some of the existing code.
