Styling HTML5 input type number

I'm writing a form in HTML5. One of the inputs is type=number. I want the input to only show 2 digits but it seems to default to showing at least 5 digits, which takes up extra space. I've tried adding size="2" attribute, with no effect.

This the tag i'm using:

<input type="number" name="numericInput" size="2" min="0" max="18" value="0" />

What am I missing?

HTML5 number input doesn't have styles attributes like width or size, but you can style it easily with CSS.

input[type="number"] {
   width:50px;
}
