html.elements.input.input-time - is now supported by safari

[timstokman]

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The page claims no support with safari for this input type.

What did you expect to see?

Safari added support for this in october 2020, see: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214946 and https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200416

It's supported from TP 115 onwards apparently.

Did you test this? If so, how?

I asked a colleague to test this jsfiddle on his iPad: https://jsfiddle.net/2etfd6vm/

Thanks for reporting this, @timstokman.

Related to this is @tari's PR #9351, which attempts to make this change (and a couple of others) for desktop Safari.

For several reasons, we don't track features in Safari TP (at least not yet). When there's a general release Safari version number to pin this to, we can update the data. Until then, this will have to wait.

Works fine on the iPad without using a TP version of safari, so I'm assuming it made its way into the regular release. Here: https://webkit.org/status/#feature-date-and-time-input-types it says that only the week and month input types are not fully supported, time is.

My understanding is that mobile Safari has supported these input types for a long time; the recent addition is for desktop Safari. The data already say support exists on iOS.

Ah, it looks like I misunderstood the desktop/iOS distinction. Looking this over again, here's a summary of the situation:

feature	iOS support	macOS support
date	5	false, noted as "The input type is recognized, but there is no date-specific control." (shipping in a future version)
time	true (missing version)	false (shipping in a future version)
datetime-local	true (missing version)	false, noted as "The input type is recognized, but there is no date-specific control." (shipping in a future version)
month	true (missing version)	false
week	true (according to WebKit platform status, should be false)	false

It looks like the only obvious change we could make now is to correct week to false for both platforms. I've opened #9393 to do that.

We could also fill in missing version numbers for Safari for iOS. If you know of version numbers for that data or can test for them, I would welcome a PR amending that data.

I'm hoping the changes on desktop either appear in a release soon (or we merge some of the implementation pending schema changes that have been proposed). Until then, I think the main issue here and PR #9351 are on hold.

Safari 14.1 (shipping this week) also added support for Date & Time form controls:
<input type="datetime-local">
<input type="date">
<input type="time">
on macOS.
