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" />

How to ensure between 7 and 10 digits are entered using pattern attribute in HTML? I have following code:
<input type="number" name="Student" id="studID" required pattern="\d{7,10}" />
The number type of input elements does not support a pattern attribute:
See the MDN documentation in <input type="number">
In addition to the attributes commonly supported by all types, inputs of type number support these attributes:
Attribute Description
max The maximum value to accept for this input
min The minimum value to accept for this input
placeholder An example value to display inside the field when it's empty
readonly A Boolean attribute controlling whether or not the value is read-only
step A stepping interval to use when using up and down arrows to adjust the value, as well as for validation
<input type="text"> has the pattern attribute.
You could use the min and max attributes like so.
<input type="number" name="Student" id="studID" min="1000000" max="9999999999">
<input type="number" name="Student" id="studID" minlength="7" maxlength="10">
should solve the problem you're having
You can add pattern attribute like this:
<input type="number" name="Student" id="studID" required pattern="7-10" />
<input id="mobile" max="11" name="mobile" onblur="clickrecall(this,'Mobile')" onfocus="clickclear(this, 'Mobile')" value="Mobile" type="text" style="width: 70px; float: left;color:#888;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px;">
i am using min and max property but its not working on any browser ,
used pattern tag also but it works on specific browsers,
JavaScript is not an option.
i have JavaScript working and want to replace it with html code only .
Also have server side validation on php .
only seeking for any addiional html method
Since this is a text box make use of maxlength and minlength in place of min and max. Hope this helps
Like - <input type="text" name="quantity" minlength="2" maxlength="5">
Or make use of Number Type - <input type="number" name="quantity" min="1" max="5"> to input numbers
This may be a silly thing to ask but I have the following:
<input ng-model="product.quantity" min="1" type="number" id="quantity" name="quantity" value="1" />
But I can't get the form starts blank.
How can I ensure that the form will be filled with, at least a value of "1"?
The form value is being set by the ngModel value and will ignore the value attribute. Set your model!
$scope.product.quantity = 1;
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
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" />
