To activate the numeric keypad when an HTML/Javascript element is in focus, you can use the following code snippet:
<input type="number" onfocus="activateNumericKeypad()" />
<script>
function activateNumericKeypad() {
var inputElement = document.activeElement;
inputElement.setAttribute("pattern", "\d*");
inputElement.setAttribute("inputmode", "numeric");
}
</script>
In the above example, the <input>
element has the type="number"
attribute set which will automatically show the numeric keypad on mobile devices. However, on desktop devices the user may need to manually enable the numeric keypad.
To automatically enable the numeric keypad when the <input>
element is focused, we attach an onfocus
event to the element that calls the activateNumericKeypad
function. The function then retrieves the active element and sets the pattern
and inputmode
attributes to allow only numeric input.
Note: The inputmode
attribute is relatively new and not all browsers support it. If the numeric keyboard is not showing with the code above, you may want to check if your browser supports the inputmode
attribute or use a third party library to implement a custom numeric keyboard.
