Problem with float type about simple_form HOT 11 CLOSED

It might be a Chrome and/or Safari issue to not accept float elements in input type "number", but we'd have to take a look at the html5 specification to see how they should handle that. If you don't want "number" to be rendered, you can update it by passing the following option to your input:

:input_html => { :type => 'text' }

This would render an input type text instead of number.

I had a problem with type="number" field too, but the field here is an integer, not float.
in chrome it shows up like that: http://cl.ly/6906ea16a2166174fc6f (in a form creating a new record)

using

:input_html => { :type => 'text' }

it works fine

@rafaelss set it value to 0 if field value is not passed or isn't an integer

@Baael I think would be good if simple_form could handle this, there will cases where it might have lots of integer fields and set 0 for all of them looks a bit "ugly" for me :)

Guys, it seems more to be a Chrome/Safari issue, handling these inputs type=number wrong. I don't think that setting a default value to these attributes is a valid case for SimpleForm, as we shouldn't touch the given value. It's more likely to be a case to add default values for models or pass them straight to inputs. Might we have another way to solve it?

Closing as won't fix, if you think this is still an issue with SimpleForm, please reopen.

this should be re-opened...

if you are going to specify the input as a number, you must specify the "step" attribute, or else the default of 1 will be used (i.e. integer) Right now only a few browsers implement this right, but some do, so we need to have type=number, step=any for our floats.

note that the step=any gives us free reign to specify it to thousandths, millionths, or whatever...

from simple_form.

SimpleForm in master branch already sets the default step attribute to "any" for non-integer columns, as you can see in 5aa4320. Expect a new release soon.
