Set value to currency in <input type="number" />

Question

I am trying to format a number input by the user into currency using javascript. This works fine on <input type="text" />. However, on <input type="number" /> I cannot seem to be able to set the value to anything that contains non-numeric values. The following fiddle shows my problem

Is there anyway for me to set the value to something like $125.00?

I want to use <input type="number" /> so mobile devices know to bring up a keyboard for number input.

Answer 1

Add step="0.01" to the <input type="number" /> parameters:

<input type="number" min="0.01" step="0.01" max="2500" value="25.67" />

But the Dollar sign must stay outside the textbox... every non-numeric or separator charachter will be cropped automatically.

Otherwise you could use a classic textbox, like described here.
