Got it.  so just in case anyone else has the same problem.

The problem is I started to use Chrome instead of Firefox where

type=”number”

works a bit differently in that it does not allow decimal places unless it also has

step=”any”

I found it here: http://blog.isotoma.com/2012/03/html5-input-typenumber-and-decimalsfloats-in-chrome/

 

and it works.
