How to force field to use numeric keyboard in Dynamics NAV Web Client?

Posted on by 115

Hi everybody,

I would like to know if anybody knows how to force web clients (i.e. mobile phones or tablets) in order to show, for a specific field, the numeric keyboard instread of the standard keyboards with alphabet.

The problem is that I have a numeric field in my page and when I select it I would like to see only numbers.

In this article https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25425181/iphone-ios-presenting-html-5-keyboard-for-postal-codes they explain that one should use:

The type="number" input type shows the regular keyboard but shifted to the numeric layout:

Is it possible to tell NAV to use this type?

Thank you for your kind reply.

    It's not just type="Number"  but you need to also add step=any  so that you can add decimal etc. 

    You can do this with building an addin and build your own html file with what ever type of input you want and then pass those to nav through events.
