Is there any way to make the HTML5 form input type "number" work with numbers in bases other than 10? For example, I would like to use the features of the number input type (up/down arrows, browser validation) with hexadecimal numbers.

The W3C specs says that the number input value can only be a floating point number http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/input.number.html#input.number.attrs.value , so the value is defined in here: http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/datatypes.html#common.data.float If you'd like to have similar functionalities you can consider to use the jQuery UI spinner and check out this question for thoughts.
