6.5 Secret Inputs
There are also a number of extra generation methods for less common form inputs that aren’t
covered by the documentation. Many of these inputs were added with the HTML5 spec, and
are in the process of being implemented by good web browsers (not IE). Here is a listing of the
methods along with their parameters.
