HTML5 input box with type="number" does not accept comma in Chrome browser

As of now (30/08/2017), Antoine Thiry's answer seems to be no longer valid in Chrome (my version is 60.0.3112.113). Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestion, other than simulating type="number" with javascript.

actually, if i read the documentation correctly, pattern is not supported for type=number. hence, stick to type=text and then add pattern="..." for the front end validation. in the next step, you will then need to convert the text input into a real number if it wasn't compatible to JavaScript/computing format.

2017 and still no good solution for this common problem...
