DateTimeField or html5 date

Hello,

I am using Wicket now for a couple of weeks. In my form i have some
datefields.
Now is my question: considering my not so experienced knowledge about
Wicket, is it better to use the html5 input type=date or should i implement
a DateTimeField (like the example in Wicket in Action, page 208)?

Thanks!

Greetings Gerrit

Hi, 
 
Wicket just generates the final page markup. So the decision what to use 
depends on: what user experience you want to provide ? 
By using HTML5's "date", "datetime", ... types some browsers will show 
datepicker-like widget, and other browsers won't show anything (older 
versions of IE). 
So your users will have different experience if they use different 
browsers.
