Adafruit site now works even better on Android and iOS devices now!

A customer had a great suggestion in our google+ page, we checked it out and implemented it immediately. Brooke writes -

There is a cool HTML 5 attribute you can use for the input box that makes entering email addresses a bit easier. Instead of input type=text, you use input type=email. And, it gracefully degrades to just a normal text box on any non-HTML 5 compliant browsers.

Here’s some info on this:

I know it is a little thing, but I hit the store pretty frequently and it would just be a nice touch.

Done! Thank you Brooke, and if anyone has other suggestions on making the shopping experience even better for devices – please let us know!

  1. Could you also fix your YouTube embeds to YT’s latest ‘embed’ code? By that I mean the new IFRAME embed method.

    If you do, all your existing videos will “just work” on Android phones and Google Chrome browsers, in HTML5 mode.

    What I have to do now is look at the “Install Plugin” box, open a new window to YouTube, then search their website until I find your video. Once I find it, it plays fine… so updating your embedded YouTube HTML will be a big win for open video standards. :-)
