Input email field as type="email"?
I think we can do it by customizing the TextboxElementBlock.cshtml a bit.
Here are my steps:
1. Copy the TextboxElementBock.cshtml from \_protected\EPiServer.Forms\EPiServer.Forms.zip\Views\ElementBlocks to under /Views/Shared/ElementBlock folder.
2. In the copied view, we will check if the Model.Validators contains the "EmailValidator", it should be the Email element, and we will change the type to "email" instead of "text".

That is perfect!
Is it something you will consider adding in a feature release? The fix below will work until I upgrade and Episerver.Forms will be overrtitten.
Thanks!

Hi!
When I create a Optimizely Form and selects that the input is an email, the input is still rendered as type="text" and not type="email", can that be fixed?
Having an email input without type="email" is not ok if you want to follow the accessability rules.
