Using Custom HTML Instead of [input]

    I’m using the free version of Formidable and, as you know, certain HTML5 attributes such as type=”tel” are not supported. My question is, if I go to the “Customize HTML” tab and replace the [input] in the code for a particular with the HTML it outputs, but add an HTML5 attribute to it, will this cause any issues or cause that input to not have its input properly sanitized, or anything else negative that I might not be thinking of?

    As an example, I would swap out:
    [input]

    for:
    <input type="tel" id="field_rmv1h" name="item_meta[18]" value="" data-invmsg="Please enter a valid email address">

    Thanks!

  • This could have potential unwanted side effects, but I’m not sure without testing it. I would recommend testing it out well. Alternatively, you could update to the pro version where a phone number type is included. It uses type=”tel” and reverts to type=”text” on unsupported browsers. By the way, HTML5 is supported in most major browsers at this point:
