Input element styling (dates and times)

[Chalarangelo]

Some <input> element types are not fully supported by browsers. In fact, the following input types have a lack of support in many browsers:

• date
• datetime
• datetime-local
• month
• time

Apart from those, the color type is not well supported, but the support is good enough right now.

Due to lack of support for many of those elements by some browsers, these input types will not be fully styled in Fermion. Instead, their full release will be postponed indefinitely, until support is better across the board. Some elements might be styled properly in supported browsers.

color type is only unsupported by IE and some mobile browsers, meaning it is deemed a good candidate for full style support. Thus, Fermion will be adding color input type styling.

Update

All of the date and time elements are not currently styled. While support for them is pretty good (~80%), Firefox does not support them at all yet, so work on them is postponed until at least the first version of Firefox that does support them.

Update

Due to no real need for this specific feature except for completeness, the styling of said elements is dismissed and the issue will be closed. Currently, all resources and efforts should be focused on other kinds of improvements in the framework's codebase. If the need arises later down the line, the issue might reopen and these features might be reconsidered for implementation.
