html

I have this code:

<%= f.text_field :email, :type => "email", :placeholder => "[email protected]" %>

So people can enter their email on an iPhone with the email keyboard instead of the ASCII keyboard. However, the output is:

<input id="user_email" name="user[email]" placeholder="[email protected]" size="30" type="text" />

which should be:

<input id="user_email" name="user[email]" placeholder="[email protected]" size="30" type="email" />

Is there a way to force Rails to use the email type instead of text, or must I use HTML directly? Thanks
