Description

When using the textfield viewhelper to render a number field it will only accept integer values and no decimals. It is preferable to use the input field of type number which then tells iOS browsers to pull up the number keypad instead of the normal letters keypad. Then it must be possible to enter decimal values, however the default setting of this field is that it just takes integers. The decimal steps can be configured by the 'step' attribute and if you set it on 'any' every decimal number can be entered by the user.

I created a patch file which adds the needed line to the source.

Could anybody please add this patch? Thanks a lot!

IMO that is very specific and there are more possible attributes (like min & max). That's why every tag based ViewHelper has the "additionalAttributes" argument.
Could you verify that this works for you:

1<f:form.textfield type="number" additionalAttributes="{step: 123}" />

Hi Bastian - thanks for your reply. Yes, the way you suggested works perfectly. I was not aware of the additionalAttributes argument. I changed my source accordingly. We can then close this issue.
Thanks again,
Thomas
