Lets say I have <input id="inpID" type="number" min="1" max="5" value="3"></input>
would this code be legal:
$("#inpID").val('');
and does it work in practice in different environments/browsers?

`does it work?` Sounds like you didn't even try it – charlietfl Jun 10 '15 at 22:04

2I tried it with my environment, but there are a lot of different browsers, and versions of browsers. Perhaps other environment factors as well. But I have edited the question to be more clear on this, thanks. – Kevin Wheeler Jun 10 '15 at 22:41

Taken from here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#number-state-(type=number)
If the element is mutable, the user agent should allow the user to change the number represented by its value, as obtained from applying the rules for parsing floating-point number values to it. User agents must not allow the user to set the value to a non-empty string that is not a valid floating-point number.
My read on that is that yes, it is okay to use an empty string.
