WhatWG Forms

This module is dead. It was something I found useful for Drupal 5, and wanted to share it in case anyone else did too. But with the AHAH framework in Drupal 6 and above, I don't see a point to this module. I'll leave it up here for now for anyone still using Drupal 5.

This is a set of modules for working with the Web Forms 2.0 specification, which is an attempt to bring advanced forms functionality to browsers in a standardized way. Unfortunately, the specification has not yet evolved into an official standard, and browsers do not yet implement it. However, an in-progress, cross-browser javascript implementation is available. These modules integrate that implementation into Drupal.

webforms2.module adds the javascript implementation. It has no other functionality.
webforms2_repetition.module adds a "webforms2_repetition" element type to Drupal's Forms API, enabling developers to take advantage of the Web Forms 2.0 repetition model in their forms.
webforms2_heterogeneous_repetition.module adds a "webforms2_heterogeneous_repetition" element type to Drupal's Forms API, enabling developers to create repetitions similar to the Web Forms 2.0 repetition model, but with multiple different templates available for each block.

Despite having a similar name, this module is not related in any way to the Webform module.
