                            InputElement

Represents an `<input>` element.

You can get the type with `.type` (which is lower-cased and defaults to `'text'`).

Also you can get and set the value with `.value`

Checkboxes and radios have the attribute `input.checkable == True` (for all others it is false) and a boolean attribute `.checked`.
