I changed a number lets say (150) to 150.00% using number formatting. Now this is the way I want to display the number with the percentage sign. But I want it to be of number type but it is of type string. Is there any way I can do this?
No. A number is just a number, it has nothing to indicate what you're using that number for — a percentage, a currency amount, the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin, etc. It's just a number.
You'll need to store two pieces of information: The number, and the fact it's a percentage.
Hi if you want to keep the number type in input tag then its good to go with bootstrap input-group-append/prepend to add % sign. this will keep the input with number formet and you will able to show % sign as well.
take a look on this demo.
