Disable scrolling on `<input type=number>`

Question

Is it possible to disable the scroll wheel changing the number in an input number field? I\'ve messed with webkit-specific CSS to remove the spinner but I\'d like to get rid

There is a better solution for this. Blur removes the focus from the input and that is a side affect that you do not want. You should use evt.preventDefault instead. This prevents the default behavior of the input when the user scrolls. Here is the code:

input = document.getElementById("the_number_input")
input.addEventListener("mousewheel", function(evt){ evt.preventDefault(); })
