</div>The user agent shouldn't update the value until the input is a valid<br>
number. ("User agents must not allow the user to set the value to a string<br>
that is not a valid floating point number.")</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't accept this behavior. Suppose that a user type "-" to an empty <input type=number>, then press ENTER to submit the form. As per the current specification, UA should send an empty value for the number control even though the number control has a visible string. The user doesn't expect a value different from the visible value is sent. This is very confusing.</div>
