HTML5 Input Type Number 16 Digits or More Chrome Replaces with Zeroes

Has anyone else experienced a problem with Chrome when using an input type of number and the number of digits exceeds 16? In my situation, anything after the 16th digit is being replaced with a zero on blur. This doesn't occur in the other browsers.

<label for="some-number-input">Number Input</label>
<input type="number" name="some-number-input" id="some-number-input" />

Is there a solution to this other than changing the input type?

Thanks.

When the number input is blurred, Chrome parses the number. According to the WHATWG standard, it should convert it to an IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point number, just like the way numbers are represented in JavaScript. And also like in JavaScript, there's a limit to the precision that these numbers can have, hence the rounding.

You might want to use <input type="text"> instead..
