The big benefit of setting your form’s input type is that, on mobile, the correct keyboard will display when your leads are filling out your form. This small change helps speed up the input process and reduces form friction on your pages.

This script allows you to easily change your input types to any valid type – without breaking any of the form styling.

So if you are not comfortable with HTML, Javascript and CSS, please consider consulting an experienced developer.
