Comment:
This is actually an HTML5 Problem. The admin form for the input of a
number uses the following HTML5 statement:
`<input id="id_decimal_number" name="..." step="0.01" type="number" />`.
`step=` in HTML5 can only be defined that way with a `.`as delimiter. Then
the browser will show it on the screen according to local browser
settings. Mine showed it as a dot, but I read on stackoverflow, that some
other users see it with a
comma.[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6178332/force-decimal-point-
instead-of-comma-in-html5-number-input-client-side].
I think HTML5 will develop further and this behaviour can be corrected via
a Javascript-Library-Use in the meantime. I am not sure what to do with
this bug. I would probably place it outside the influence of Django even
though I can see that it is annoying. Django decided to use HTML5 for its
forms and this is due to the actual state of HTML5. I feel Django is not
responsible to correct HTML5 behaviour, but I would really like to know
the opinion of some more experienced Django contributers on this. So I am
handing the ticket back.
