WatiN support for HTML5 tags

Question

I have the following HTML:

I want to type text into it from WatiN :

var field = B         


        

Answer 1

var field = Browser.TextField("email");

Tries to get the TextField with id email and thus fails for the TextFieldExtended type.

var field = Browser.ElementOfType<TextFieldExtended>("email");

Gets the TextFieldExtended with id email.
