Allow 2 decimal places in <input type="number">

Instead of step="any", which allows for any number of decimal places, use step=".01", which allows up to two decimal places.

More details in the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/html/sec-forms.html#the-step-attribute


In case anyone is looking for a regex that allows only numbers with an optional 2 decimal places

^\d*(\.\d{0,2})?$

For an example, I have found solution below to be fairly reliable

HTML:

<input name="my_field" pattern="^\d*(\.\d{0,2})?$" />

JS / JQuery:

$(document).on('keydown', 'input[pattern]', function(e){
  var input = $(this);
  var oldVal = input.val();
  var regex = new RegExp(input.attr('pattern'), 'g');

  setTimeout(function(){
    var newVal = input.val();
    if(!regex.test(newVal)){
      input.val(oldVal); 
    }
  }, 1);
});
