1251830 - HTML5 Number Input does not honor the Size attribute

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[BoffinBrain]

Attachment: number-field-size.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Build ID: 20160210153822

Steps to reproduce:

The attached test case is a valid HTML5 document with a form containing various types of input fields with different sizes.


Actual results:

The input fields of type "number" are always the same width despite the size attribute being different. The other input fields have different widths as expected. Google Chrome appears to have the same issue.


Expected results:

Number fields need to have consistent behaviour.

It looks like we follow what the spec says here:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#number-state-%28type=number%29
"The following content attributes must not be specified and do not apply to the element: accept, alt, checked, dirname, formaction, formenctype, formmethod, formnovalidate, formtarget, height, inputmode, maxlength, minlength, multiple, pattern, size, src, and width."

Resolving as invalid since we're compatible with the relevant spec, and with Chrome (per comment 0).

Well so it is... Hurrah for stupid HTML specs. I guess I was right to start forcing CSS widths on my number fields. I thought it was working on IE, until I discovered that was only because it doesn't understand number fiends at all and reverts to textfield behaviour.
