I can't believe I haven't been able to find anything about this problem.
In my new project the future user will have a column with some input type="number"
, and as numeric fields (there is not a single text
one) I want the numbers aligned to the right.
I found the numbers too close to the arrows so, logically, I added to them a padding-right
.
To my surprise, It seems I can't separate a little the numbers from the arrows. padding-right
moves the arrows along the numbers.
Basically only Opera
do the padding
the right way. but not the other main 3 browsers I have tested so far as you can see in the image below.
So. Is there any way to separate numbers from arrows so it works at least in Firefox
and Chrome
(as we recomend for our web app's these 2 browsers?)
a JSFIDDLE with a simple example
Rather than using padding-right
use the following CSS
input::-webkit-outer-spin-button,
input::-webkit-inner-spin-button { margin-left: 20px; }
and for Firefox above solution won't work, so the best solution is just to hide it :
input[type=number] {
-moz-appearance:textfield;
}
or you can try to "play" with some jquery plugin.
