Native Input
Qubes 9.0 Native input component with browser-dependent behavior.
This input can be used as an alternative to other XForms inputs.
Preferably used to input or edit a Time, a Date or a Datetime, but supports every input type the browser accepts.
Keep in mind that this is a browser-based input so the user experience may differ, according to their browsing context.
Example :
Google Chrome
FireFox
Properties
| Property | Description |

| Hint | Specifies the user hint string that will appear in the component's interactive help bubble. |
| Maximum | Maximum time value allowed. If empty, that means there is no maximum time. |

Value
The value returned will always be a string, that depends of the type of input.
You can treat it the way you want using formulas (like StrToDateTime) or scripts for example.
Remarks
To set the ValueInitial when Type is :
- "date", the format of the value must be "YYYY-MM-DD" as stated in the documentation.
- "time", the format of the value must be "hh:mm" or "hh:mm:ss" with hours in 24-hours format as stated in the documentation.
- "datetime-local", the format of the value must be "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm" as stated in the documentation.
ExtraAttributes depends from Type and can be any input's attributes.
Always check the browser compatibility before choosing a type.
Be aware that even if the type is supported by the browsers, its appearance and functionalities can change from browser to browses and even between updates of the same browser.
Do not chose deprecated, non-standard or experimental types as they might be removed anytime soon from the browser support.
