<input type="number" ... /> allows not-numeric characters on Safari browser

[lukKowalski]

On safari browser it is possible to write letters inside when its marked as type="number". Can be tested at official ng-material page at input section - "Donation amount" at the bottom of the page https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/input

Material doesn't do any number validations/limitations on the user input. I believe only Angular marks it as invalid.

@crisbeto I agree. Also on every browser, you can type e in the number input.

This seems to be intentionally, but I haven't figured the why yet.

[crisbeto]

It might be because of the exponential notation in JS (e.g. 1.00001e+32).

@crisbeto its not only because of JS, its because of global use in math :)

@crisbeto @devversion ok, actually it is a browser-level problem. Safari handles type="number" differently and allows to write also other characters instead of numbers only. To block it you have to write custom event handler.
