 * Hi. I’m using the Pro version but this also applies to the free version.
 * I noticed that the HTML form that is displayed on the site is different than 
   the one I inserted. I understand there is some processing to restyle the form
   appropriately but something that is lost is that my email fields have **type=”
   email”**. This is vital for client-side email validation. With the PopupAlly 
   form, the email fields use type=”text” and therefore it sends bad email addresses
   if the visitor types it in wrong.
 * This is causing a lot of extra work on our backend because we have to sort out
   faulty records that come through because of this.
 * Is there an option to have email fields use the correct type?
 * Thank you!
