This project is an example project demonstrating techniques for leveraging HTML5 capabilities for form handling such as input types email, date, number, color, etc from within an ASP.NET MVC 3 project, while gracefully downgrading for browsers that do not currently
support HTML5 capabilities.
See http://www.robertev.com/mvc/ for a live demo - be sure to try "Create" from Firefox or Opera to see the different behavior.
