HTML input fields used for Zip Codes should be type=text and use the pattern attribute to provide hints to the browser
<!--
-
- US Zip Codes are text (not numbers) made up of digits (and optionally the dash character, if you accept 9 digit codes)
-
- Number input fields will drop leading zeros and may add numeric formatting (ie- add commas) to the input. This behavior
- is incorrect for Zip Codes which can have leading zeros and should not include commas.
-
- This Gist shows the incorrect and correct way to tell the browser what is expected in a Zip Code field. Oddly, HTML5
- adds 'date', 'time' and 'tel' types to input elements, but does not include 'zip'.
