Date Field Default

Hi there,

It is a little hard with HTML5 right now to have a birthday field, so I would suggest either using the complete date of birth (dd/mm/yy) in a date field or a regular text field to capture just dd/mm.

Date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy)

<input type="date" name="DOB" />

Birthday (mm/dd)

<input type="text" name="BIRTHDAY" placeholder="MM/DD" />

You can add in some pattern validation so that the given date should match a birthday.

<input type="text" name="BIRTHDAY" placeholder="MM/DD" pattern="(0[1-9]|1[012]).(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[01])" />

Hope that helps a little.
