Geoff Callender created TAP5-2409: ------------------------------------- Summary: type="number" fails when decimal separator isn't "." Key: TAP5-2409 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2409 Project: Tapestry 5 Issue Type: Bug Components: tapestry-core Affects Versions: 5.4 Reporter: Geoff Callender
This probably affects versions before 5.4 too. I have BigDecimal fields that I'm editing with TextField. On mobile devices I would like a numeric keyboard to pop up, so I added type="number". This all worked just fine in English, but then I switched locale to French and found Tapestry's client-side validation rejecting it as not a number. Digging around, I found that with type="number", the W3C spec requires the browser to translate the field value to a String with a "." decimal separator. The problem for Tapestry is that Tapestry's validation always expects the field value to be untouched and in the format of the locale. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
