Is this a joke??? 😂
This is part of a survey of my university where I have to enter my id number (a six-digit number). And they really provide a +1/-1 button to increase/decrease the current number by one. WTF?!? Who would press the button up to 200.000 times just to enter the id?

That reminded me of this:

    I wouldn't want to put a combo box just to fill up my phone number every digit...

    It's just the client that wants that kind of button. Not the programmer.

    Not worse than this. BTW it's probably a numeral input field so people won't write letters into that field.

    Someone should haunt the people responsible for this with a spoon until they change it.

    @ilikeglue yep, most likely that. The browser then automatically adds the buttons to the field.

    Thats most likely an <input type="number"> and the browser adds those arrows automatically

    It actually makes sence. As pointed out before, it's just a type="number" input field. The browser then adds those buttons by it self. It also does a client side validation so you'll only be able to enter digits plus on mobile it changes the keyboard to the numpad.

    I had the exact same problem a few months ago. As far as I remember, Firefox is the only browser (I tested) that does this shit. It requires some very ugly CSS black magic to get rid of.
