Modernizr.inputtypes.date false on FirefoxOS

[sime]

I have just used Modernizr.inputtypes.* for the first time today and have discovered that testing for the date input type is false for FirefoxOS, when in fact date fields are supported.

I've started looking into the source, but it will take some time for me to wrap my head around Modernizr before I can produce a patch.

Cheers!

Hey sime!
Could you try my modified date branch, and let me know if that helps?

[patrickkettner]

It doesnt help =[. It also is failing for datetime, time, and datetime-local.

Does FirefoxOS show a datepicker widget for a [type=date] field?

Firefox for Android 23.0 returns true for Modernizr.inputtype.date… I'm guessing we're talking about native apps here rather than the browser?

Could you tell me what the results are from this Pen on FFOS? http://codepen.io/stucox/pen/erBuI (I guess you may have to drop the code into a test app)

I haven't got an FFOS device available at the mo.

That first result means that if you set <input type="date">, it automatically changes it to <input type="text">, so I don't see how that can support the date input type?!

Or is there a major difference between the browser environment and the native app environment? Which environment supports type=date?

You can get Firefox OS Simulator as an FF extension:

Should help if you don't have a device.

Gross, seems like this is a known issue.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=910551

perhaps @codepo8 could weigh in?

Reached out to @autonome on twitter.

This was fixed in 1.2. Considering how low the penetration for firefox os is, and that all major phones have upgrades available, I'm just going to close this out.

Thanks, I can confirm that the above codepen.io all return True on FirefoxOS 1.2.

Cheers for the heads-up on the emulator plugin @sime 👍 I’ve got a real device in my office now too.
