How can I use HTML5 email input type with server-side .NET

Question

As I understand it, the element in HTML5 will render as a simple text field in browsers that do not support the tag. On other browsers

Answer 1

Whether or not it is accessible as a server control, you should be able to access the HttpRequest.Form collection and retrieve the value. No matter what the browser does with the tag, it has to submit a string to the server.
