I have a HTML input with maxlength=4 attribute on it and it works well.
The thing is when I type the last character - it hides the first one while i'm focused on the input. when I lose focus (blur) the inputs looks ok.
Here's a visual explanation:
While typing:
When I get to 4 it looks like this (1 is hidden):
When I lose focus:
Here is my HTML input:
<input name="input[input-1]" type="text" maxlength="4" style="letter-spacing:15px;" class="numeric">
How can I fix this?
provide your html css code here. if you are using type="number" and a fixed width it might be for the reserved place in type number for the increment and decrement arrows.
i can't see any problem here :
<input type="number" min="1" max="9999" value="1">

So I'm trying to make a form for my assignment, and I am using the pattern attribute in html so only certain characters are required to be typed on the text box. But for some reason, the form is saying using that I'm using an incorrect format even though I made my pattern attribute that way.
Here's an example of the code and a picture of the problem.
<form>
<label for="mnumber">Mobile Number:</label>
<input type="text" required id="mnumber" pattern="[0-9]"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
You did write:
pattern="[0-9]"
You are asking for only one number. You just forget to add '+' to accept more than one number. I guess what you are searching for is this:
pattern="[0-9]+"
pattern="[0-9]"
allows for only a single number character to validate (and be submitted). If you want to allow more than one character, here's your options:
One or more numbers:
pattern="[0-9]+"
Zero or more numbers:
pattern="[0-9]*"
One to three numbers:
pattern="[0-9]{1,3}"
you just need to change type="text" to type="number"
If I have a HTML file with the tag <input type="text" size="3" …>it does what it should do, it renders an input element with the width of 3 characters. On the other hand, if I have the tag <input type="number" size="3" …> it renders the default width for an input field (much longer than 3 chartacters).
I know I can make a custom class with a .myclass { width: 75px; }, but I think it would be much easier to use the size attribute, specially if I know for a number field that the numbers accepted will be from 0 to 100, why to use a wider input field?
Is this done by design? Am I required to use CSS for this? If that so, how can I render an input field of exactly three characters wide according to the font family/size I'm using in the form?
Size is not an attribute for input type=number, it has min and max attribute to specify minimum and maximum number. To adjust width you will have to use width style.
I just tested the following:
<input type="number" size="20" min="1" max="5"/>
The size attribute didn't respond on Chrome or FireFox, but very surprisingly it did work on Internet Explorer 11.
My guess is it's still in the process of receiving global compatibility, and I would recommend creating a css class to handle the width as you so desire.
Here is a fiddle of the code for testing purposes.
<input type="number" min="1" max="5">
Is this what you are looking for? Other then that, I haven't found anything that would resize the input. I think the best thing to do is use css in your css file or add style="" to the input field.
This seems to work for me.
<input type="number" size="3" max=1 min=5>
Edit. Need to add min and max for size to work.
Is it possible to have an input element with type equal to number, whose arrow buttons would change the value not by step attribute, but by other given number?
I need to have a field with step equal to .001, buy I'd like to make +-1 jumps by clicking arrows. (I ask aboout native arrow buttons, of course I can simulate them anyhow, but that's not the question.)
googling turned this up first
<input type="number" name="points" min="0" max="100" step="0.001" value="30">
Other than that, I guess you'll need to use JS to manipulate the behaviour. Maybe sth like:
<input id="example" type="number" name="points" step="0.001" onchange="checkChangedInput();">
<script>
function checkChangedInput() {
// check if number got lower or higher
...
document.getElementById("example").value += OldValuePlusZeroPointNineNineNine;
</script>
Though I guess using onchange might give unexpected results when sth is being typed in the field. So you should also check if in/decrement was more than your step(0.001).
This might yield some useful information as well: HTML5 input type=number change step behavior
I'm facing the issue for input field's attributes min and max values in Firefox (v_30.0) browser.
This works
<input name="year" type="number" placeholder="YYYY" required min="1" max="12"/>
But this does not
<input name="year" type="number" placeholder="YYYY" required min="1990" max="20014"/>
it displays 1 on input box and does not move further.
Firefox (unlike Chrome) seems to follow the HTML5 definition for stepping up the value of an input type=number element. When the value is not set, as it here isn’t initially, it is interpreted as 0, so the result of incrementing is 1. Since it is outside the range, it is an invalid value, and further stepping is not possible.
This means that input type=number is intended for use with quantities for which an initial value can be set (or the default initial value of 0 can be accepted). After all, stepping up and down is really the reason for using this element type, and it needs to start somewhere.
Consequently, there is not much point in using required for such an element, unless the implicit default of 0 is acceptable and within the bounds set.
If you still want to use input type=number, you need to set some initial value with the value attribute that is within the bounds. Technically, this means that the pattern attribute has no effect.
To read a required 4-digit number when no default value is set, optionally with a placeholder, you can use a text input field with suitable attributes (but you cannot express a range requirement in HTML, in any reasonable way, in this approach):
<input name="year" type="text" placeholder="YYYY"
size="4" maxlength="4" pattern="\d[4}" required
style="font-family: Consolas, monospace">
Just set the starting value and it will work
<input name="year" type="number" min="1990" max="2014" value="1990" required />

EDIT:
As another user previously pointed out, this will not show the placeholder but instead the starting value of 1990. In Chrome it works to not set the value and still show the placeholder and achieve the desired functionality, however it seems that in FF you would need to set the value by javascript when focusing on the input field, if you want to show a placeholder instead of a starting value.
Demo for this: http://jsfiddle.net/1pg5727f
<input type="number" step="1" min="1" name="product_qty" value="1" title="Qty" class="input-text" size="4" maxlength="10" pattern="\d*" required />
if you still looking for the answer you can use input type="number".
min max work if it set in that order:
1-name
2-maxlength
3-size
4-min
5-max
just copy it
<input name="X" maxlength="3" size="2" min="1" max="100" type="number" />
I'm writing a form in HTML5. One of the inputs is type=number. I want the input to only show 2 digits but it seems to default to showing at least 5 digits, which takes up extra space. I've tried adding size="2" attribute, with no effect.
This the tag i'm using:
<input type="number" name="numericInput" size="2" min="0" max="18" value="0" />
What am I missing?
HTML5 number input doesn't have styles attributes like width or size, but you can style it easily with CSS.
input[type="number"] {
width:50px;
}
I have been looking for the same solution and this worked for me...add an inline css tag to control the width of the input.
For example:
<input type="number" min="1" max="5" style="width: 2em;">
Combined with the min and max attributes you can control the width of the input.
Unfortunately in HTML 5 the 'pattern' attribute is linked to only 4-5 attributes. However if you are willing to use a "text" field instead and convert to number later, this might help you;
This limits an input from 1 character (numberic) to 3.
<input name=quantity type=text pattern='[0-9]{1,3}'>
The CSS basically allows for confirmation with an "Thumbs up" or "Down".
Example 1
Example 2
There are only 4 specific atrributes:
value - Value is the default value of the input box when a page is first loaded. This is a common attribute for element regardless which type you are using.
min - Obviously, the minimum value you of the number. I should have specified minimum value to 0 for my demo up there as a negative number doesn't make sense for number of movie watched in a week.
max - Apprently, this represents the biggest number of the number input.
step - Step scale factor, default value is 1 if this attribute is not specified.
So you cannot control length of what user type by keyword. But the implementation of browsers may change.
Also you can replace size attribute by a style attribute:
<input type="number" name="numericInput" style="width: 50px;" min="0" max="18" value="0" />
There is a way:
<input type="number" min="0" max="100" step="5"/>
<input type="number" name="numericInput" size="2" min="0" maxlength="2" value="0" />
