The Disappointing Browser Support of the New HTML5 Number Input

February 10, 2011

The Disappointing Browser Support of the New HTML5 Number Input

Edit on 2013/01/09: I think the CSS3 property box-sizing: border-box could fix this issue.

I was creating a landing page for a client today and I thought I’d try an element of the HTML5 specification-in-the-making:

<input type="number" />

Basically what the number input does is provide client-side restrictions on the input as well as a browser built-in “spinner” on the field.

The issue I have is that the size must be controlled through CSS. WebKit (Chrome) claims to implement this input type, but the way it sizes the box doesn’t appear to be accurate with respect to the width and padding attributes. While this inconsistent sizing behavior may be acceptable on larger forms where the inputs are over 100 pixels, on smaller input fields, it’s simply unusable to me. The new interface takes up more space, so you either make it crammed and unusable in WebKit (not enough room to view the input), or you have a huge input field on older browsers which default to the type=”text” method.

Use jQuery for your number spinners and be certain they’ll behave how you want (assuming Javascript is enabled), at least until browsers give you an HTML/CSS-only way to have tiny inputs look consistent in newer browsers and still provide a properly sized fallback.

I would still recommend it on larger forms, if you don’t wish to use jQuery. It seemed to work fine in Chrome otherwise.

I agree Chris. I haven’t used Godaddy in a long time. I have been using 1and1.com for awhile. Ironically, now I am changing to hostgator soon. They are currently the most top rated host. I had no idea that they auto-renewed for Godaddy SSL certificates, I need to let some of my recent clients know that, I have referred a few to godaddy’s SSL system.

Thanks for this. It seems silly I have to Google how to turn off autorenew but your directions were spot on.

Thanks, Chris, this was helpful. The steps are a bit different as of 7/24/2011.

1. Login to GoDaddy
2. Click My Account on the top listing
3. Click “My Payment Information” on the left side nav bar
4. Click the small “View All Renewing Items” hyperlink on top of the grid of products that display on the next page
5. This brings up the page “Payment Profile” where all auto-renew items are listed
6. Click the “Auto” column header and look for any items turned “On”
7. Check the box next to any “On” items and click “Auto Renew ” at the top
8. On the right side of page, check “Disable Auto Renew” then “Save Changes”.

Grant said on October 24, 2011 at 3:52 pm:

Before I found these instructions I went to what I thought wasthe obvious link “My Renewals” but this has NO SSL certificates listed. I assumed that they weren’t auto-renewing. Their 15 and 30 day reminder email messages make NO mention of auto-renew (unlike their domain renewals).

Suddenly we had our credit card hit. Not only do they auto-renew, they do it a month BEFORE the certificate is due to expire!!! I wouldn’t normally worry but this was a Wildcard certificate that cost $200. We had to drop it because we also found their claim of 99% compatibility to be untrue. I didn’t work on versions of Safari for the iPhone.

Definitely deceptive. I have a complaint in to them now. If they don’t resolve it I’ll have American Express reverse the charge
