The built in Play input elements are fairly restrictive in that you can’t specify the input type. I wrote a helper template that you can use to generate input elements which have HTML5 type attributes such as url, email, number, search etc. etc.
All you have to do is call the template method, passing the HTML input type as a parameter. For example:
@helper.html5.input(form("website"), '_label -> "Website:", 'type -> "url")
If you have a form field mapped as a play.api.data.Forms.email then the template will automatically infer it’s type so you don’t have to pass the type attribute in with your html attributes:
@helper.html5.input(form("email"), '_label -> "Email:")
If your field has the required constraint, e.g. it is a “nonEmptyText” then the template will add the HTML5 “required” attribute to the field as well.
You can get the source code here.
Amazing plenty of terrific information.

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for
about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
I really like looking through a post that will make men and women think.
