Can you add number padding to a bootstrap number input box?

If I'm using an input box, like so:

<input type="number" class="form-control" value="00001" />

How can I make it so that when pressing the arrow up, it changes to 00002 instead of 2?

enter image description here

Thanks!

"00001" or "00002" are not numbers, but if you still wanna do it, think something like:

Function to add leading zeros at left (num is value, size is the size of the string)

function padLeadingZeros(num, size) {
    var s = num+"";
    while (s.length < size) s = "0" + s;
    return s;
}

Then:

$(function() {
      $("input").change(function(e){ // If the value changes
            e.preventDefault();
            $(this).val(padLeadingZeros($(this).val(), 5)); //replace the value with the returned value of the function, 5 is size.
      });
});
