Bug 35895 – input type other than text won't work with autofill

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: New Bugs

Unless I change my zipcode fields from input type="number" 
and my email fields from input type="email" to input type="text" 
autofill will not populate them

Is this something that works in Safari/WebKit 4.0.4, but not in nightly builds? Do you have an example page where we could see this problem?

If it's not a regression, chances are that this is not a WebKit issue, as most of autofill code is in Safari.

Ah, gotcha.. It doesn't work in safari either. So, I should report the issue to Apple instead?
http://dag.bytestudios.com/test.html would be a simple example.

This is indeed a Safari issue and I'll try to get it fixed for an upcoming release. Thanks very much for bringing it to our attention.

Upon further investigation, the problem is indeed in WebKit. Since this bug has been resolved, I'll clone it.
