Editing widget for durations

[LeaVerou]

If a <time>'s datetime attribute is a duration, an appropriate editing widget needs to be used. Currently, it will incorrectly be a date input.

In elements.js, I'm testing duration as a dateType with the regular expression as /^PT[\d]{1}H/i and using <time datetime="PT2H"/>. However, the input type is still identified as "date" rather than "duration", and I was unsure as to why seeing that date's regular expression is /^[Y\d]{4}-[M\d]{2}-[D\d]{2}$/i. My understanding is that the input type is set only by checking against the dateTypes set, but let me know if there is an additional place I need to look. Thanks!

Hi Parul,

Firstly, you can simplify the regex to /^PT\dH/i ({1} is implied, and [\d] is the same as \d). Furthermore, you can probably simplify it further to /^PT/`, since no date format starts with PT (and assuming it starts with hours, and a 0-9 number of hours at that, will make you lose some).

Apart from that, indeed it should be recognized with the test string you give. I wonder if something more significant is at play, like a failing build or running off remote Mavo or something like that?
