What can override the attributes in an html input?

I am outputing the values I want into an html input with PHP. But for some reason it is not recognizing the min and step attributes. How can html attributes be overridden?

EDIT – I am customizing Anspress for WordPress. Here is a link to look through the files for the plugin.

Any thoughts??

HTML that structures the output (ap_ask_form() is in the PHP code below)

<div id="ap-form-main" class="active ap-tab-item">
    <?php ap_ask_form(); ?>
</div>

ask_form.php

class AnsPress_Ask_Form
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        add_filter('ap_ask_form_fields', array($this, 'ask_form_name_field'));
    }

    public function ask_form_name_field($args){
        if(!is_user_logged_in() && ap_opt('allow_anonymous'))
            $args['fields'][] = array(
                'name' => 'name',
                'label' => __('Name', 'ap'),
                'type'  => 'text',

            );

        return $args;
    }
}

My extension to this plugin using the WordPress hook “plugins_loaded” (the ask_form_amount_field($args, $editing) below is part of a class I made; if someone would like me to post it I can, just trying to show all the relevant info without making it too lengthy…)

            $amount_field = $amount_field[0]->term_id;
        } //More things purely related to taxonomy, it seems.
