What are the different CSS input types and how do they work?

CSS input types refer to the various types of input fields you can use in HTML forms, such as text, email, number, and more. Each type has its own specific behavior and styling options.

Can you give me examples of how to style these input types?

Sure! For example, you can style a text input with a border, padding, and background color. Here's a simple CSS snippet:

input[type='text'] {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
}

What about validation for these input types?

Validation can be done using HTML attributes like required, min, max, and pattern. For instance, an email input can use the type='email' attribute to ensure the user enters a valid email format.
