why is <input type="number" maxlength="3"> not working in Safari?

html, maxlength, safari

Solution

I've accomplished it with:

<input class="required" id="field" type="text" maxlength="3" pattern="([0-9]|[0-9]|[0-9])" name="cvv"/>

and then in JavaScript I prevented the letters:

$("#myField").keyup(function() {
    $("#myField").val(this.value.match(/[0-9]*/));
});

Problem

I like to have an input with maximum 3 characters. In Firefox everything works fine I can only write 3 numbers inside the input - but in safari you can write a lot of numbers inside. You can test it in both browsers with this: http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/validator/custom-validators.htm For now I realized it with a validate plugin - but just for interest I like to know why isn’t this working? EDIT: with this it's working ``` <input class="required" id="field" type="text" maxlength="3" pattern="([0-9]|[0-9]|[0-9])" name="cvv"/> ``` answer: How can I prevent letters inside a text element?
