Can't get '.' when it is the last character in input type number

How do i retrieve the text value of my input type number?

I can retrieve the value just fine when it's a valid number 

1.23 //returns 1.23
1 //returns 1

But when the last character is '.'. I can't seem to get it.

2. //returns 2

Want it to return 2.

HTML:

<input type="number" id="size" step="0.001"></td>

JS:

$("#size").val();

With the type="number" you probably get a numbered version of the input value.

If you try Number('13.') in Javascript you get 13

Change it to type="text" and you should get the entire value.

Check for '.' using string functions. If it does not exist, then append it. Else you have to use input type text.

use this:

parseFloat($("#size").val());

all results:

parseFloat('1.23') // return 1.23;
parseFloat('1') // return 1;
parseFloat('2.') // return 2;
