Type of input "color"?

Question

I checked some input type from HTML5 and I found out that the chrome color support of the input type does not work. My version of chrome is 15.0.874.121, and the w3schools website says it has been supported since version 12:

My question is simple: why does this not work for me? Is this a regression of HTML5 support in Chrome?

Answer 1

I have standalone versions of Chrome for testing (see http://www.oldapps.com/google_chrome.php ), and neither Chrome 12, 13, nor 15 seem to support it <input type="color">- they all just display a text box. (Unlike Opera 11, which displays a color picker.)

A Reddit article related to @WebDevelopers answer says html5test.com tells Chrome 12 as support for checking the field on <input type="color">. This is true: html5test.com reports that for Chrome 12 (and not for Chrome 15), but I'm not sure what that actually means.
