Drupal 7 and HTML5 forms

Track: 
Coder
Experience: 
Intermediate

This session will show you how to implement all the new html5 elements in your new Drupal 7 web site.

This will cover the new number, telephone, url, range, email field. This will also show you how to turn your standard Drupal elements into their html5 counter parts where appropriate.

This session will also cover how to use the new html5 elements in your own modules using Drupal's form api.

There is another session being giving by Jen Simmons on html5 at Drupalcon Chicago but our presentation will target different audience and I feel they can both co-exist and will compliment each other very well.

Module Developers that want to use the new elements and Site builder
