copied!<p>ASP.Net 4.0 HtmlGenericControl does not support the "Type" attribute as defined in your code, the error explains that, <strong><em>Parser Error Message: 'email' is not a valid type for an input tag.</em></strong>, this is a arguably a "well known" or easily discovered bug in the ASP.Net framework.</p> <p>There are several solutions that are outlined here:<br /> <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh547102.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh547102.aspxre</a><br /> Update the framework and use the Asp.Net TextBox control <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scothu/archive/2011/08/10/html-5-updates-for-net-4.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Scott Hunter - HTML 5 Updates for .NET 4</a><br /> Use a <a href="http://asphtml5.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">3rd party ASP.Net Html5 UI control</a> such as the one available from Codeplex. <br /> <br /> A similar question is asked, and answered on the following SO posts:<br /> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3232079/how-can-i-use-html5-email-input-type-with-server-side-net">How can I use HTML5 email input type with server-side .NET</a> - <em>This is the same issue as for the HtmlGenericControl however it is not addressed in the update</em><br /> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4258281/input-types-on-server-side-controls">input types on server side controls</a></p> <p><br /> My personal preference ended up being to move to <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ASP.Net MVC 3</a>, its quite a steep learning curve and a big change from the "Web Forms" style of ASP.Net web development however its soon forgotten once you get used to the symantics and coding styles.</p>
