If I have a HTML file with the tag <input type="text" size="3" …>it does what it should do, it renders an input element with the width of 3 characters. On the other hand, if I have the tag <input type="number" size="3" …> it renders the default width for an input field (much longer than 3 chartacters).
I know I can make a custom class with a .myclass { width: 75px; }, but I think it would be much easier to use the size attribute, specially if I know for a number field that the numbers accepted will be from 0 to 100, why to use a wider input field?
Is this done by design? Am I required to use CSS for this? If that so, how can I render an input field of exactly three characters wide according to the font family/size I'm using in the form?

The size attribute specifies the visible width, in characters, of an <input> element. Note: The size attribute works with the following input types: text, search, tel, url, email, and password. Tip: To specify the maximum number of characters allowed in the <input> element, use the maxlength attribute.
The size attribute defines the width of the <input> and the height of the <select> element. For the input , if the type attribute is text or password then it's the number of characters.
The HTML <font> size Attribute is used to specify the size of text which is present inside <font> element. Attribute Values: It contains a single value number that specifies the size of the text.
Answer: The default size for a text field is around 13 characters. However, if you include the size attribute, you can set the size value to be as low as 1. The maximum size value will be determined by the browser width.
Size is not an attribute for input type=number, it has min and max attribute to specify minimum and maximum number. To adjust width you will have to use width style.
