grails 2.0: g:field tag, HTML5 Scaffolding Browser Dependency?

Question

Grails 2.0 Documentation states: "There is a new HTML5-based scaffolding UI", but then doesn't elaborate on what the implication of this is (that I could find). Unfortunately the new g:field tag that is used in the scaffolding is not documented as of yet (that I could find).

Do you know / can you comment on the browser dependencies related to using Grail 2.0 HTML5 Scaffolding, in terms of which browser versions one needs to use for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome? Are there any particular issues/usages to be careful of?

Thanks

PS If you know of where there is documentation on either of these (g:field or html5 implication), please let me know.

Answer 1

Use the force, read the source! :)

Closure field = { attrs ->
    fieldImpl(out, attrs)
}

def fieldImpl(out, attrs) {
    resolveAttributes(attrs)
    attrs.id = attrs.id ?: attrs.name
    out << "<input type=\"${attrs.remove('type')}\" "
    outputAttributes(attrs, out)
    out << "/>"
}

So basically it translates into a html5 'INPUT' tag.
