html5 input for money/currency

Question

I seem unable to work out what to use for accepting monetary values on a form.

I have tried...

Answer 1

We had the same problem for accepting monetary values for Euro, since can't display Euro decimal and comma format.

We came up with a solution, to use for user input. After user types in the value, we format it and display as a Euro format by just switching to . This is a Javascript solution though, cuz you need a condition to decide between "user is typing" and "display to user" modes.

Here the link with Visuals to our solution: Input field type "Currency" problem solved

Hope this helps in some way!
