Good question!<br />
Closest answer I can see is to try changing it to type=tel.<br />
You should still get the number keyboard and not any of the formatting.

Yeah, I see what you mean. It's just a shame that it then becomes symantically incorrect. Also what surprises will the next version of browsers hold for the tel input type and my general number values.

Until tonight my understanding was the the keyboard changes depending on the input type specified.<br />
<br />
But I just found that the following forces the number keyboard to show and as the input type is text, Safari on the iPad doesn't apply the auto formatting! Voila!<br />
<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;myName&quot; min=&quot;1&quot; max=&quot;10&quot; pattern=&quot;[0-9]*&quot; /&gt;<br />
<br />
Thanks for being there.<br />

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am developing a HTML5 app for the iPad and what I am finding at the moment is that when using the input type 'number' it is auto formatting the value with a thousand separator e.g. 1000 is being forced to 1,000.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to turn this option off other than changing the input type to 'text'? - I don't want to lose the number keyboard by default.<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
<br />

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

Mobile web development, also known as responsive web design, is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones). A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries.
