Change input type from text to URL / email about camptix

Those new input types aren't supported by IE9 or Android's browser < 4.4, so I think we'll have to wait awhile before merging this, or implement some kind of JavaScript stub, but that's probably overkill for something small like this.

"browsers that don’t recognize type="email" will treat it as type="text" and render it as a plain text field. "
Please see: http://diveinto.html5doctor.com/forms.html

Another quote from the text: "Every single browser on Earth treats an unknown type attribute as type="text" — even IE 6. So you can “upgrade” your web forms to use type="email" right now. "

So there is nothing to lose ... :)

@iandunn as @Zodiac1978 already mentioned. You can absolutely use the new types email and url, as all ancient browser just fallback to type text. But for smartphone users, it's a huge increase in usability and accessability. So it's acutally "you must use" them.

Just check out my pull request which fixing the issue.

I took a second look and you're right. #83 is merged now, thanks :)
