Email Textbox's Type is Wrong

[daniel_harris]

In the /wp-content/plugins/newsletter/widget.php file on line 38 it should say
<input class="newsletter-email" type="text" instead of <input class="newsletter-email" type="email". There is no email type for input elements.

Hi, the email type is correct, it’s the new HTML5 type. It works even on old browser since the input field defaults to text type when not specified or when unrecognized.

When it was type=”email”, the textbox lost its style because it didn’t take

#supplementary input[type="text"]{
	background:url(../../images/field.png) no-repeat !important;
	width:164px !important;
	height:21px !important;
	line-height:22px !important;
	border:none !important;
	font-size:10px !important;
	color:#b8b8b8 !important; 
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding:0 5px !important;
}

from the theme’s included common.css file.

Hi, because your theme does not care about the new HTML5 types. It should.
