>IE9 – input field with right alignment

Hi
if I have a input field where the text is right aligned, the digit on the right that I enter is outside the visible range.
My HTML Code:
<input type="number" min="0" max="999" name="_home_1" value="" class="prediction" />

The issue is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13763021/ie10-removes-padding-on-input-with-right-alignment

My work around in my child theme is:

.ie input[type=number] {
	direction: rtl;
}

Because I know that the field is type number and even if IE9 and IE10 are not supporting this, it works!
