-------------------------------------

             Summary: type="number" fails when decimal separator isn't "."
                 Key: TAP5-2409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2409
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.4
            Reporter: Geoff Callender


This probably affects versions before 5.4 too.

I have BigDecimal fields that I'm editing with TextField. On mobile devices I would like a numeric keyboard to pop up, so I added type="number".

This all worked just fine in English, but then I switched locale to French and found Tapestry's client-side validation rejecting it as not a number.

Digging around, I found that with type="number", the W3C spec requires the browser to translate the field value to a String with a "." decimal separator. The problem for Tapestry is that Tapestry's validation always expects the field value to be untouched and in the format of the locale.
