Input type="number" is good for getting the numeric + special keyboard instead of the alpha, but it suffers from a couple of (serious ?) annoyances.
1. it fails JSLint as an invalid type (apparently because JSLint is not HTML 5...) 2. it massively tweaks with the output format - i.e. deletes trailing zeroes in the fractional part, deletes a trailing decimal point, and (!!) inserts thousands separators (commas). If anyone has hints about controlling this behavior, I am sure many people would be interested.

Thetype="number" is exactly what I needed, but when putting it in an ASPX page I'm getting the following error: "Parser Error Message: 'number' is not a valid type for an input tag." Any suggestions?
