input number in html that is not an integer - html

I have a div where I want the user to input a number that is between 0.05 and 0.5. I did it this way:
<input id="TS_dist" class="tableButton" type="number" maxlength="1" size="5" value="0.2" />
The problem is that when I am puting a value I cannot use the zero, it is not working, the . is not either. Only 1-9 numbers are accepted.
My browser is firefox.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

By default the value increases/decreases by 1. Add a step attribute to change this behaviour:
<input step="0.05" id="TS_dist" class="tableButton" type="number" maxlength="1" size="5" value="0.2" />

Try adding, step="any" in this input.

add step=0.1on <input> field that will work

How can i give input number box default value?

I've added my number box pattern.
<input value="1,2323.23" type="number" pattern="^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$">
But I cannot see the value.
Do we have a chance to see this form of value?
If you want comma then try to use type="text" instead.
<input value="1,2323.23" type="text" pattern="^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$">
Demo here
type="number" input can't process values which include the comma so remove that and it should work fine.
<input value="12323.23" type="number" pattern="^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$">
If you do however, want to keep the comma, then change type="number" to type="text" and the comma should work fine.
<input value="1,2323.23" type="text" pattern="^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$">
Here's a JSFiddle with both the above versions: http://jsfiddle.net/AndrewL32/65sf2f66/52/
You were just missing the placeholder="123" attribute :)
<input placeholder="123" value="1,2323.23" type="number" pattern="^\\$?(([1-9](\\d*|\\d{0,2}(,\\d{3})*))|0)(\\.\\d{1,2})?$">

Using HTML 5 form to limit the amount of numbers in the input box

I want my input box to only allow 4 numbers (not characters).
I have tried a few different solutions on stackoverflow but none of them seem to work for me.
You can limit the amount entered by characters but not by numbers.
So far i have tried:
maxlength="4" pattern=".{4}"
and
maxlength="4" pattern="([0-9]|[0-9]|[0-9]|[0-9])"
which none of those work for me.
Anyone any idea how to achieve this?
Try input type = "number" and give the min and max value as following:
<input type="number" name="quantity" min="0" max="9999">
HTML-5 Input Type Number
its working for me just re-checked on fiddle.
<input type="text" id="83filename" maxlength="2" />

Firefox: input field number min max not working

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 />
http://jsfiddle.net/ywq6dq93/
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" />

HTML maxlength attribute not working on google chrome if input type of field is number

<input type="number" maxlength="2" />
Its working in other browsers like Firefox,IE and not working in google chrome.Can any one suggest how to fix issue in chrome?
because it's a number, you can use max, not maxlength.
You need to allow only two digit number then you can use following code
<input type="number" min="1" max="99" />
Use the max attribute for inputs of type="number".
It will specify the highest possible number that you may insert
<input type="number" max="999" />
if you add both a max and a min value you can specify the range of allowed values:
<input type="number" min="1" max="999" />
For user experience, you would prefer the user not to be able to enter more than a certain number, use Javascript/jQuery.
EG: <input type="number" max="99" min="9" id="myInput"/>
$('#myinput').on('keydown', function () {
if($(this).val().length>2)
return false;
});
use max="" and there is has to be a form element for it to work otherwise it won't work.
fiddle
Try this
<input type="tel" maxlength="2" />

Styling HTML5 input 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" />
