Other one was #1758

Instructions
Just merge that code branch and use HTML5 attribute.
For attribute

1. placeholder : use hint=”Placeholder text” to set placeholder
2. required : use required=”true” or required=”required” or required=”1” to make field required
3. autocomplete : use autocomplete=”false” or autocomplete=”off” or autocomplete=”0” to disable autocomplete.
4. autofocus : use autofocus=”true” or autofocus=”on” or autofocus=”1” to set focus automatically to the field.
5. spellcheck : use spellcheck =”false” or spellcheck =”off” or spellcheck =”0” to disable spellcheck.
6. multiple : use multiple=”true” or multiple=”required” so that field can accept multiple values of its type.
   There is little bit refactoring with respect to boolean attributes (disabled, readonly), so everything should work as it does previously.

For the non-supported browsers, fallback js is automatically loaded to support it
Usage of some common attributes are on http://docs.joomla.org/Text_form_field_type/3.2

Install this component and test new field attributes.

Note only attributes work with this component as this PR is for only New Attributes

Hi Achal,

Looks like this is out-of-sync. Could you update it to master?

[Achal-Aggarwal]

Sorry for that. It is in sync with master now.

I'm not going to envy the person who's going to solve the merge conflicts between field.php in repeatable form elements and this :P

For both new attributes and types see PR #1842

Closing this one. Now I will maintain only one PR for the whole project i.e. #1842
