Why was this module needed for Backdrop? #1

Hi @biolithic and thanks for all your ports :)

We tried to put all the elements from this module into Backdrop core, so if we did that correctly it should not be necessary anymore. Can you explain what we missed, so we can get that on our todo list? Thanks!

Sorry, I was used to using it in Drupal and wanted to use the html5 elements in Basic Cart Plus, so I ported this module which didn't take too long because it is not a very complex admin module. I'll take a look at the core field types instead and if they are available, then delete this module.

If they aren't, please open a new issue against core - because we tried to get them all! :)

One thing to note is that the form API element type names are a little different from core to contrib, so if your site didn't explode after adding this module (with conflicts with what's in core) that's probably why.

You will also probably need to make a few adjustment to basic_cart to use the new FAPI types in core.
