Disabling incomplete input types since Chrome 16

[TAMURA, Kent]

Hi everyone,

We disabled the following input types, and Google Chrome 16 isn't going to have them.

    date, datetime, datetime-local, month, time, and week.

These types have had simple textfield interfaces with spin buttons. Since Google Chrome 16,

they are not recognized as valid input types, and work as type=text.

They were disabled because of their incompleteness.  Their user-interfaces were not satisfying,

and the existence of these types were harmfull for feature detection.

We'll enable them again when we complete to implement their rich user-interfaces.

Hello

As far as I know you are working on UI for quite some time now. Is
there any time frame when we can expect UI (like we'd like to have
them in Chr18)?

Unfortunately we have no concrete time frame.

We already have workable prototypes for type=color and type=date, but we need to resolve some technical issues before committing them to Chromium and WebKit repositories.

Yes, we're going to enable input types step by step.  e.g. enabling type=date when we complete the implementation of type=date even if other types are not ready.

Hello,
may I ask about the progress? Chromium is already in version 18... still
no input element changes, UI, (date/time, color, datalist)...

Hi all,

It is now six months on... any signs of progress? Just wondering, as I need a date/time picker in my app.

Thanks,

type=date is supported in Chrome 20 on Windows and Linux.

We re-enabled type=date since Google Chrome 20.

We're actively developing type=time now, and hope re-enabling it since Google Chrome 22 or 23.

Until now datetime isn't supported

[PhistucK]

Yes, type=datetime is not supported because it is still under discussion within the standards bodies. They are not sure the distinction is necessary or something like that.
