What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them? Problem Encountered:

While working on creating a number input field in a form, I noticed that most browsers display increment and decrement buttons (called "spinner" buttons) by default. These buttons were not necessary for my design, and I wanted to remove them to create a cleaner and simpler input field. However, the challenge was that these spinners are added automatically by browsers for number inputs, and each browser handles them differently.

How I Overcame the Problem:

To solve this issue, I used CSS to target the specific elements responsible for the spinner buttons:

• I identified that WebKit-based browsers (like Chrome and Safari) add these spinners using internal elements called -webkit-inner-spin-button and -webkit-outer-spin-button.
• For Mozilla-based browsers (like Firefox), the appearance of the number input field is controlled by -moz-appearance.

I wrote CSS rules targeting these browser-specific elements:

• I used the following CSS code to hide the spinner buttons in WebKit browsers:

  input[type="number"]::-webkit-outer-spin-button,
  input[type="number"]::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
      -webkit-appearance: none;
      margin: 0;
  }
  

• To handle Firefox, I used:

  input[type="number"] {
      -moz-appearance: textfield;
  }
  

By adding this CSS, I was able to remove the spinner buttons across different browsers, ensuring a consistent and clean design for the number input field.
