Is it possible to always show up/down arrows for input "number"?
You can achieve this (in Chrome at least) by using the Opacity property:
input[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button,
input[type=number]::-webkit-outer-spin-button {
opacity: 1;
}
As stated above, this will likely only work in Chrome. So be careful using this code in the wild without a fallback for other browsers.
I tried this and it worked
input[type=number]::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
opacity: 1
}
</style>
<input type="number" value="1" min="1" max="999">

If you're trying to get the same appearance across different browsers you may be forced to use a plugin/widget or build one yourself, the main browsers all seem to implement number spinners differently.
Try jQuery UI's spinner widget it offers a lot more versatility when it comes to styling.
Working Example
<p>
<label for="spinner">Select a value:</label>
<input id="spinner" name="value" />
</p>
$("#spinner").spinner();
