Here is a quick overview of how to make number fields in your HTML form look more fancy using Bootstrap3 and jQuery. In particular I will show how to use Bootstrap markup to prepend a Bootstrap icon to one of the text input field on your form. Also I’ll show how to add a jQuery/JavaScript function to nicely format the numbers entered by your users.

Having nicely formatted number fields in your Web form is an example of how making things look much friendlier and professional, which is definitely a good thing!
