Can I hide the HTML5 number input’s spin box?

Question

Is there a consistent way across browsers to hide the new spin boxes that some browsers (such as Chrome) render for HTML input of type number? I am looking for a CSS or Jav

Answer 1

To make this work in Safari I found adding !important to the webkit adjustment forces the spin button to be hidden.

input::-webkit-outer-spin-button,
input::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
    /* display: none; <- Crashes Chrome on hover */
    -webkit-appearance: none !important;
    margin: 0; /* <-- Apparently some margin are still there even though it's hidden */
}

I am still having trouble working out a solution for Opera as well.
