Imagine having to type in 45,000,000 without the visual feedback of the commas. We can accomplish this with JavaScript (on an "input" event listener, e.g.): function localizeCurrency() { var oldValue = this.value; this.rawValue = oldValue ? parseInt(oldValue.replace(/,/g, '')) : 0; if (oldValue) { var newValue = parseInt(oldValue.replace(/,/g, '')).toLocaleString(); var caretPos = this.selectionStart - (oldValue.length - newValue.length); this.value = newValue; this.setSelectionRange(caretPos,caretPos); } } But it requires an input type of "text" (to allow the commas to appear), and it would be much better to have this in the HTML itself. <input type="currency" locale="usd"> As I type...what should appear 1 $1.00 10 $10.00 1000 $1,000.00 450000 $450,000.00 128615 1 lwatson 2017-05-29 16:50:03 +0000 Moved to the HTML repo: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/939
