type attribute for the element.
type attribute for a element :-
This attribute specifies the media type in the form of a MIME type for the link target. Generally, this is provided strictly as advisory information; however, in the future a browser might add a small icon for multimedia types. For example, a browser might add a small speaker icon when type is set to audio/wav. For a complete list of recognized MIME types, see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/references.html#ref-MIMETYPES. Use this attribute only if the href attribute is present.

 The type of control to display. The default type is text, if this attribute is not specified. Possible values are:
 button: A push button with no default behavior.
 checkbox: A check box. You must use the value attribute to define the value submitted by this item. Use the checked attribute to indicate whether this item is selected. You can also use the indeterminate attribute to indicate that the checkbox is in an indeterminate state (on most platforms, this draws a horizontal line across the checkbox).

 date: HTML5 A control for entering a date (year, month, and day, with no time).

 radio: A radio button. You must use the value attribute to define the value submitted by this item. Use the checked attribute to indicate whether this item is selected by default. Radio buttons that have the same value for the name attribute are in the same "radio button group"; only one radio button in a group can be selected at a time.
 range: HTML5 A control for entering a number whose exact value is not important. This type control uses the following default values if the corresponding attributes are not specified:
 min: 0
 max: 100
 value: min + (max-min)/2, or min if max is less than min
