Why is input type text, why not number for hours and other numeric items

[weedkiller]

Hi, I am using the hours version and noticed the control has been configure with input type as text.

I am binding and onchange, and finding that the input box is allowing text and creating problem for me.

So, I want to set it such that it does not allow text out numbers and decimals for hour - is this possible?

does setting it type=number break with jquery 3.2?

thanks
