How to force keyboard with numbers in mobile website in Android

Question

I have a mobile website and it has some HTML input elements in it  like this    lt input type  text  name  txtAccessoryCost  size  6    gt    I have embedded the site into a WebView for possible Android 2 1 consumption  so that it will also be an Android application   Is it possible to get the keyboard with numbers instead of the default one with letters when this HTML input element is focused   Or  is it possible to set it for the whole application  maybe something in the Manifest file   if it is not feasible for an HTML element

Some browsers igoners sending leading zero to the server when the input type is  number   So I use a mixing of jquery and html to load a numeric keypad and also make sure that the value is sent as a text not as a number    x000D   x000D    document  ready function    x000D      numberonly   focus function     this  attr  type   number      x000D      numberonly   blur function     this  attr  type   text      x000D     x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt input type  text  class  numberonly  gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

IMPORTANT NOTE  I am posting this as an answer  not a comment  as it is rather important info and it will attract more attention in this format   As other fellows pointed  you can force a device to show you a numeric keyboard with type  number    type  tel   but I must emphasize that you have to be extremely cautious with this    If someone expects a number beginning with zeros  such as 000222  then she is likely to have trouble  as some browsers  desktop Chrome  for instance  will send to the server 222  which is not what she wants   About type  tel  I can t say anything similar but personally I do not use it  as its behavior on different telephones can vary  I have confined myself to the simple pattern   0-9    which do not work in Android

This should work  But I have same problems on an Android phone    lt input type  number    gt   lt input type  tel    gt    I found out  that if I didn t include the jquerymobile-framework  the keypad showed correctly on the two types of fields    But I havn t found a solution to solve that problem  if you really need to use jquerymobile   UPDATE  I found out  that if the form-tag is stored out of the    lt div data-role  page  gt     The number keypad isn t shown  This must be a bug
