Is there an HTML attribute to tell smartphone keyboards to show special email keys?

Question

I notice that when using my touch-screen smartphone (no physical keyboard) that when an app asks for an email address to be entered in a textbox, the on screen keyboard is modified slightly to provide specialized keys that enter blocks of text, like '.com' or push some characters to the foreground key, like '@'.

Is there an HTML attribute or style that I can add to my HTML input boxes that will tell the smartphone/browser to provide these specialized keys?

according to

you should use <input type="email"/>

it does not work on android.

Great find Keith (and Ben). Thanks. I sure wish it was based on a name in the class attribute, rather than the input type. But oh well. – Missi
