Why isn’t <input type="date"> used more often?
HTML natively has a date input:
<input type ="date"/>
(Codepen here: https://codepen.io/dwjohnston/pen/zmwRQV).
It comes with a date picker etc.
However, I've just noticed that I don't usually see it. Usually websites either get you to enter your own slashes into a textbox, or select from three dropdowns.
Is there a reason that this isn't being used?
