Forms often include the <code>input</code> field, which can be used to create several different form controls. The <code>type</code> attribute on this element indicates what kind of input will be created.
You may have noticed the <code>text</code> and <code>submit</code> input types in prior challenges, and HTML5 introduced an option to specify a <code>date</code> field. Depending on browser support, a date picker shows up in the <code>input</code> field when it's in focus, which makes filling in a form easier for all users.
For older browsers, the type will default to <code>text</code>, so it helps to show users the expected date format in the label or as placeholder text just in case.
Here's an example:
<blockquote><label for="input1">Enter a date:</label><br><input type="date" id="input1" name="input1"><br></blockquote>
