title: How to set HTML5 type="date" input fields (e.g. in Chrome) using Selenium/Protractor?
body: <p>I want to update the date value (displayed as mm/dd/yyyy with only the number portions modifiable) of some HTML5 date form fields:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="date"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my Selenium/Protractor tests. I've tried using <code>sendKeys</code> for this but (on Chrome) have not been successful so far.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this using <code>sendKeys</code>? Or some other way to do it?</p>
