How do you set decimal places in html?

I used @carpetofgreenness's answer in which you listen for input event instead of change as in the accepted one, but discovered that in any case deleting characters isn't handled properly.

Let's say we've got an input with the value of "0.25". The user hits "Backspace", the value turns into "0.20", and it appears impossible to delete any more characters, because "0" is always added at the end by the function.

To take care of that, I added a guard clause for when the user deletes a character:

if [e.inputType == "deleteContentBackward"] {
  return;
}

This fixes the bug, but there's still one extra thing to cover - now when the user hits "Backspace" the value "0.25" changes to "0.2", but we still need the two digits to be present in the input when we leave it. To do that we can listen for the blur event and attach the same callback to it.

I ended up with this solution:

const setTwoNumberDecimal = [el] => {
  el.value = parseFloat[el.value].toFixed[2];
};

const handleInput = [e] => {
  if [e.inputType == "deleteContentBackward"] {
    return;
  }
  setTwoNumberDecimal[e.target];
};

const handleBlur = [e] => {
  if [e.target.value !== ""] {
    setTwoNumberDecimal[e.target];
  }
};

myHTMLNumberInput.addEventListener["input", handleInput];
myHTMLNumberInput.addEventListener["blur", handleBlur];

proto.createdCallback = function[] {
this.type = "number";
this.addEventListener["change", this.decimate];
this.value = parseFloat[this.value].toFixed[this.getAttribute['data-places']];

// 2 decimal places..
console. log[+num. toFixed[2]]; // 123.13..

How do I put 2 decimal places in HTML?

Use the toFixed[] method to format a number to 2 decimal places, e.g. num. toFixed[2] . The toFixed method takes a parameter, representing how many digits should appear after the decimal and returns the result.
