Apple also has some excellent extensions to HTML attributes.


For example, Safari supports many different input types. They can be specified using the type attribute of the input element.

type="search"

Provides a search field. As well as incremental , placeholder , autosave , and results attributes in addition to standard HTML attributes to provide better Search box.

For example:
you can create this Apple Human Interface Guidelines complied search box in your website.

type="range"

Provides a slider. Its minimum value should be set with the min attribute, its maximum value should be set with max, and its discrete step size should be set with step.
