Datefield and timefield rendered as textfield

[Vishal Pandey]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know why Django renders datefield and timefield as input type = "text"  field in html.

I am aware of the fact that almost all browsers are compatible with input type date and time. So rendering it as a text field doesn't make any sense to me, but  I also understand that the django developers can't ignore such a silly thing.

is this a designed so?

If not, I would like to create a ticket for this and solve this.

Thanks and regards
