Definition and Usage
The type="number" attribute of the tag represents a numeric input field. This field is configured to allow only numbers to be entered or selected, and has built-in validation that rejects non-numeric input.
In most browsers, stepper arrows (or spinners) are provided to allow users to increase or decrease the number using a mouse. On some devices with a virtual keyboard, such as mobile devices, a numeric keypad is displayed.
Basic Example
<label for= "number-to-show" > Number to display </label> <input type= "number" id= "number-to-show" >
