Problem with Chrome handling numeric fields

[terryd]

Windows7 Ultimate 64bit Clarion6.3_9056 NT545
I have fields definition in the dictionary is ULONG
In the NetWebForm I have set the type to Number right justify width 7 and as a required field

If I change a record created with (say IE8) using Chrome the field displays as a spin field but with no values displayed. Saving the record says that the field is required.
However if I do the same operation with Firefox or IE8 Or IE9 etc. the values in the field display and there is no problem with save

that probably has to do with the way Chrome handles a "number".

In NT6 there was a thread on this some weeks back. The upshot of it was that the "number" implementation on forms could not have a picture. (So in NT5 setting the picture to say @n_4 - where 4 is the number of digits) may help.
In the long run an upgrade to NT6 is probably recommended, as it's a bit more flexible there.

Thanks Bruce
What I have done is changed thge type from NUMBER to STRING and checked the numeric box on the validation tab and problem is solved.
Re NT6 as you know I ordered my copy 10 minutes after your webinar. I am just waiting for the flutter of "my lookups don't work" etc. to  die down before doing something irrevocable.
