At 1st we're starting to make cck widgets for every html5 elements.

We already have the number field in the html5_tools.module file and you can use that as a base for starting the other fields.

If you're interested in what new fields are available take a look at the elements module code, there is not support for email, number, url, color, and range.

Declaring a new widget type.

/**
* Implements hook_field_widget_info().
*/
function html5_tools_field_widget_info() {
return array(
'numberfield' => array( // Machine name of the widget.
