* * *
## Input Number Object
The Input Number Object is new in HTML5.
The Input Number Object represents an HTML `` element with `type="number"`.
**Note:** Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support `` elements with the `type="number"` attribute.
### Accessing an Input Number Object
You can use the `getElementById()` function to access an `` element with the `type="number"` attribute:
```javascript
var x = document.getElementById("myNumber");
(#)
**Tip:** You can also access the Input Number Object through the form's (#) collection.
### Creating an Input Number Object
You can use the `document.createElement()` method to create an `` element with the `type="number"` attribute:
```javascript
var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "number");
(#)
