title: Set input of type number to string
body: <p>I am building my own context menu and am replacing copy / cut / paste functionality. I have copy and paste working but I cannot paste arbitrary text into an input of type 'number'.</p>
  
  <p>I am setting the value using javascript similiar to below</p>
  
  <pre><code>document.getElementById('input').value = 'some text'; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whenever type is of number, the text is lost and the input is left blank.</p>
  
  <p>Can I set the input to a string? The system paste allows this, but the input seems to parse the input and fail.</p>
