input field to default to numerical keypad

[Michael]

I have seen mobile websites with input fields which bring up a numerical keypad by default (say for entering quantity or banking number, etc).

Is there a way to accomplish this with kendo?

Hi Michael,

Kendo UI does not have control over the device keyboard by design. You can achieve this with the simple HTML elements like:

<input type="text" pattern="\d*"> for iOS
<input type="number"> for Android

This: <input type="number"> worked for both devices.

This: <input type="text" pattern="\d*"> just resulted in an empty space.

Hello Michael,

<input type="text" pattern="\d*"> on iOS7 device forces the number only keyboard, but does not work as expected on Android. Anyway I happy to hear that you have found the solution for your case.

Have a happy weekend!

On my iOS7 device, 'pattern="\d*"' doesn't do anything. In fact, there won't even be an input field displayed.

<input type="number">  results in a number pad, though - on both devices.
