HTML5 inputs and PhoneGap – iPhone and Android

In this post I am going to talk about HTML5 controls in PhoneGap. Not only PhoneGap we can also use this input in mobile based web site too.

HTML5 is the next generation of HTML. In one word I can say HTML5 make web more Rich.

PhoneGap is popular Cross platform framework in mobile world. it will support for all top mobile OS. Few weeks before there release beta version for Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.

I captured few screenshots from iOS, we can see   different  keyboards for input types Email,URL, Number and tel

If we add normal input  it will display like this,

HTML code:

<input type=”text” name=”txtName” />

<input type=”email” name=”Email”/>

<input type=”url” name=”urlAddress”/>

<input type=”number” name=”txtNumber”/>
