Can't set type_ on inputText

[dela3499]

When inputText is defined, the type_ attribute is set to text.

attrs = (Attr.type_ "text" :: Attr.value content :: attrs)

This seems to prevent the user from setting type_ on their own. When I try providing type_ "email" in the attributes list, it doesn't seem to work.

inputText None [ type_ "email" ] ""

Perhaps the first term of the attrs definition can simply be omitted, or left present only when type_ isn't provided as an argument to inputText.

attrs = (Attr.value content :: attrs)

Here's my current workaround.

node "input" <|
    el None
        [ type_ "email"] 
        (text "")

Same here. You cannot create a password input field (for example) with the current version. 😞

@alvivi See the workaround.

In your case:

node "input" <|
    el None
        [ type_ "password"] 
        (text "")

In 4.0 this is fixed.
