Number entry on mobile

There are many forms that when I fill out online that when it is looking for a number only it will only pull up a number keypad on my mobile device instead of the entire keyboard.  I'm not sure about all phone models, but on the iPhone I then have to switch from the main keyboard to the section of the keyboard with numbers.

I'd like it so that when I set a field style to 'number' that this would prompt a number only keypad to pop up on the end user mobile device for ease of entering information.

In the photo examples that I found online below:  I'd like to see the bottom right numerical keypad only on 'number' style fields.

Thanks!

  • I just noticed the example above is not entirely accurate.  The below example has the decimal key for entering monetary or decimal place entries.

  • Hi Chad,

    Are you not seeing this version of the keyboard when you do number fields (or short text styled as number fields): 

    I agree though, I like the big number keyboard a lot.

  • Sara,

    My apologies, I just checked a field as you mentioned, and yes, it does automatically switch to the semi-numeric keypad.  I'd still like to see the big number keypad.  Makes for fewer mistakes...
