In this chapter, we have learned how to use a host of new HTML5 form attributes. They enable us to make forms more usable than ever before and the data they capture more relevant. Furthermore, we can future proof this new markup by using JavaScript feature detection and conditional loading of JavaScript polyfill scripts so that all users experience similar form features, regardless of their browsers capability.

We're nearing the end of our Responsive HTML5 and CSS3 journey. We've covered a lot of theory alongside our practical 'And the winner isn't' example website. However, implementing responsive designs in the real world often presents further challenges. How to handle a mass of navigation links on a small screen? How to only load additional files for the browsers that need them? In the final chapter we will be looking at some of these common issues (and their solutions) when implementing responsive designs built with HTML5 and CSS3. We'll also revisit how best to deal with some specific shortcomings of common older browsers.
