readme

input-date-polyfill

Polyfill for date input. Just include this simple script and IE, Firefox, and OS X Safari will support <input type="date">, without any dependencies, not even jQuery!

Support dynamically created inputs, so can be used in single page applications.

Forked from date-input-polyfill. Continuing and fixed as a separate project.

Demo available here: https://codepen.io/epavanello/pen/poNmOQz
