input type=number in BB10 with decimal point on virtual keyboard doen't working

Question

I was unable to find the solution to this problem:

I use one in a webworks app. It's supose that this input will accept integers and float numbers.

The problem is: When I insert some data, for example 3.1415 the device removes the dot and inserts 31415.

I'm not using the input types inside a form so the "novalidate" option isn't possible.

I tried a lot of stuff to fix the problem. Any Idea?

Possible solutions(tricks): - Use type = text and force the keyboard layout to be the numeric one. - Disable the validation to this input (and no others).

Do you know how to do that? Do you know other solutions?

Regards. Pablo.

Answer 1

This is a know bug in Blackberry 10.

There are posts about it in their support forum, here is a link to one of them.

The only real way around it is to use a standard text input and validate the content yourself until this bug is fixed.

I just tested this on an internal build (10.2.1.x) and it is working prefect for me although I'm unable to track down a specific OS build number where the fix was implemented.
