HTML5 types . In ASP.NET 4.5 there are number of options with Textmode property,which are supported by different browers

You can choose a TextBox from the tool box and set the Textmode property as follows:

<asp:TextBox ID="phone" runat="server" Textmode="Date"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="phone" runat="server" Textmode="Color"></asp:TextBox>

Same like this you can select any Textmode property as desired as use it for different purpose.
