- I answer both of these questions above.. but I'll repeat myself for you.. – ztatic Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 20:56
- "What have I tried" I made a custom modernizr build and added it to my page. That is all. Period. Clear? – ztatic Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 20:57
- "What do I want to do" I want a polyfill or alternative for the html5 input type=datetime setup when it is not natively available. Clear? – ztatic Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 20:58

Yes, I downloaded the script they gave me
modernizr.custom.66777.jsand added it to thehead. Why would it matter if I added it this way or by copying and pasting it into a script tag? (ie: why are you asking me this?) – ztatic Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 21:19 - It should not matter, I am just trying to figure out the problem of why it doest not work as you do not show any code. But if you added it this way it could be another problem then, either way i will just delete my ments... – Yet Another Geek Commented Aug 25, 2011 at 21:21

Reset to default 8Not sure what it is you are trying to acplish, but the "Input Attributes" option adds tests for the following <input> attributes: autoplete, autofocus, list, placeholder, max, min, multiple, pattern, required, and step. -- Not sure what this has to do with <input type="datetime" ...> elements?
The "Input Types" option does adds tests for the following types of <input> elements: search, tel, url, email, datetime, date, month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, and color.
However, from the documentation:
These (input) types can enable native datepickers, colorpickers, URL validation, and so on. If a browser doesn’t support a given type, it will be rendered as a text field. Modernizr cannot detect that date inputs create a datepicker, the color input create a colorpicker, and so on—it will detect that the input values are sanitized based on the spec.
In general, Modernizr doesn't "do" anything (besides the HTML5 shim), it just allows you to detect for the existence of modern features on the browser.
