Hi,

 

I've search thru the group of how to call the numeric keyboard when the focus is on <input>.

I've tried style='-wap-input-format: "*n";' and setting phone and zip in the name but without success.

Any other ideas?

You could try type="number" to get the alphanumeric keyboard with dot comma etc.

I haven't seen a numeric only keyboard with dot.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I've tried the <input type="text" pattern="[0-9]*"> method but I need the dot...

I've tried setting <input type="number" step="0.01"> but I'm getting a parse error message.

Any advise will be welcome.

there is no numerical keyboard with a dot: a numerical keyboard is set for a numerical value. a numerical value doesn't have dots. it has numerics.

it's like asking for an email keyboard with a space key.

two options:

- split input in two inputs you merge with a dot on submit

- preventDefault + make your own numerical "keyboard"

about option 2: don't forget to deal with non-touchscreen devices

This numeric keypad was designed for input of phone numbers, not decimal values, thus the lack of a decimal point. I believe that recent objective c apis allow you to customize this keypad and add a decimal point, but no equivalent apis are yet available in JavaScript in Safari. Let's hope they show up soon, because this issue comes up repeatedly.

The type="number" is exactly what I needed, but when putting it in an ASPX page I'm getting the following error:

"Parser Error Message: 'number' is not a valid type for an input tag."

Any suggestions?

forget about ASPx :)

I have no skills in aspx but if you can't do it server side due to some limitations, you may have to do it client-side (aka Javascript)

ASPX doesn't know HTML5 it seems. type="number" was introduced with HTML5. I don't know ASPX, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Input type="number" is good for getting the numeric + special keyboard instead of the alpha, but it suffers from a couple of (serious ?) annoyances.

1. it fails JSLint as an invalid type (apparently because JSLint is not HTML 5...)

2. it massively tweaks with the output format - i.e. deletes trailing zeroes in the fractional part, deletes a trailing decimal point, and (!!) inserts thousands separators (commas).

If anyone has hints about controlling this behavior, I am sure many people would be interested.

Could you share a link / demo of that?!

Sounds weird...
