[whatwg] JavaScript libraries for Web forms 2.0

[Dean Edwards]

BTW, the WF2 implementation for IE, although unfinished, does work. It 
implements all of the <input> types (except datetime), the <datalist> 
element, the <output> element, validation and ValidityState objects, 
multiple forms and the new events. The implementation looks and feels 
exactly like a native Windows implementation. We even mimic the user's 
current XP theme. Download it and try it. I would appreciate any 
feedback either privately or on this list.
