I am using a HTML5 input box with type="number"
. Regarding to some documentations, it should be possible to enter a number with comma (not with period) if I also use the lang=""
attribute. It is working in Firefox, but not in Chrome (does not accept a comma). How can I get Chrome to accept the comma in the input box.
My problem is that our German users expect that they can enter a comma instead of a period there.

Please enter a number with comma: <br/>
<input id="num" type="number" step="any" lang="de" pattern="-?[0-9]+[\,.]*[0-9]+" />
As of now (30/08/2017), Antoine Thiry's answer seems to be no longer valid in Chrome (my version is 60.0.3112.113). Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestion, other than simulating type="number" with javascript.
