Greetings Yam, there has been a long thread of email running on the HTML mailing list recently with a subject: XHTML Basic 1.1 and setting input field to numeric mode In essense Luca has two points that are bothering him about XHTML 1.1 Basic, but there is one that perhaps you could help us to understand. I will extract a small amount from the first note [1] in a very long thread. . . . an input field should be set on numeric mode (believe it or not, still a very useful feature when you want to ask someone to input a long series of digits on a numeric keypad!), Of course, my reaction was to specify something like this: style="-wap-input-format:'*N'" Firstly Luca observed that there is no longer a style attribute which became the theme of much on the resulting thread. It has been pointed out that XHTML Basic 1.1 has added an attribute "inputmode" that would allow the specification of something like inputmode="latin digits" which support his original requirement. However, Luca goes on to ask [2] about what provision there is for the richer capabilities that are in todays Mobile Profile. So, finally, could you help us understand the relationship between XHTML Basic 1.1 and new versions of XHTML Mobile Profile and if there are additional features provided in XHTML Mobile Profile n.n that are not included in XHTML Basic 1.1?
