html - HTML5 Input type=number removes leading zero

Question

In Chrome 15, when using the element as a text field, leading zeros (e.g. 011) are removed even if the number entered does not break the validation rules (e.g. min, max). Is there an attribute to force the zero to remain in the field after it loses focus? The application for this is numeric data such as international phone prefixes.

Answer 1

<input type="text" pattern="[0-9]*" ...

that should do it for you. Will bring up the numeric keypad on iPhone and the nicer Android phones I've tested on.
