dojox/mobile/TextBox with numeric type

[User#]

Hello,

I would like to set the type "numeric" to my TextBox? in order to open the numeric keyboard by default on mobile devices.

Solution 1:

<input data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/TextBox"
       data-dojo-props="value: at(this.loadedModels.NumberModel, 'Value'),
                        onChange: lang.hitch(this, this.numberChanged),
                        intermediateChanges: true,
                        type: 'numeric'"></input>

Bug: The default keyboard on mobile device is NOT the numeric keyboard.

Solution 2:

<input data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/TextBox"
       data-dojo-props="value: at(this.loadedModels.NumberModel, 'Value'),
                        onChange: lang.hitch(this, this.numberChanged),
                        intermediateChanges: true"
       type="numeric"></input>

Bug: The function "numberChanged" is not called if the user inserts at least one character which is not a number (example: letter "a").

Do you know how to fix these bugs please ??

Thank you

I made a mistake in the description, please read "number" instead of "numeric" for the input type. Sorry.

As specified by the HTML5 spec, you shouldn't set the type "numeric", but "number". See for instance ​https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input . Also, the type is an HTML attribute of the input tag, it is not a property of the widget. All in one, this works:

<input type="number" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/TextBox" ...>

At least on iOS 6 and Android 4.2, touching it pops the numeric virtual keyboard.

Finally, if the type is number, it is expected and understandable that onChange doesn't fire when you enter an invalid character (a letter).

Therefore, I'm closing the ticket for now, but of course it can be reopen if appropriate.

I would like to reopen this. We would like to receive this invalid data and popup a validation error message to the end user to notify them that they have a typo in their number value.

Can we please?
