How to open Number keyboard for iOS , android if the html5 textbox type="text"?

i have the following questions for html5 mobile textbox.

  1. is there any option to open number keyboard for ios and android platform if the input is type="text".

  2. issue i am facing here is, if the textbox is type="number", not able to append $, % symbols dynamically in the textbox(to reproduce this open html page in android or ios browser)

    is there any option to include $, % symbol in the textbox, if type must be type="number" the value not appearing in safari,chrome and android browsers.

Sample:

http://jsfiddle.net/bharathid/bFk9c/

open the above URL in firefox it's working fine, but while opening in chrome value disappeared.

Note:

in my case not like to use $, % symbol in separate span.

Reference:

iOS5 show numeric keypad by default without using type="number" or type="tel"

Solution

  • Try this...

    <input type="number" />
<input type="tel" />

    Both of these present the numeric keypad when the input gains focus.

    Everything else seems to bring up the standard keyboard.
