Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use a host of new HTML5 form attributes. They have enabled us to make forms more usable, and therefore the data they capture more relevant.

We've also made use of some techniques we have learned throughout this book to restyle our form and make its layout respond to the constraints of the device on which it is used.

We're nearing the end of our responsive HTML5 and CSS journey. While we have covered an enormous amount in our time together, I'm conscious I'll never manage to impart all the information for every eventuality you'll encounter. Therefore, in the last chapter of this book, I'd like to take a higher-level look at approaching responsive web design and try to relate some solid best practices for getting your next/first responsive project off on the right footing.
