Hello,

I would like use buttons as numbers for an input field, it looks like this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/9/2/928f1506297068016b7521cc0df12f2e23ebb18c.png)

but when I press the button, its obviosly not continue adding number, it just change the current number.  
How I can add numbers until 4 for example? So that there are numbers like 6432 in the text input field.  
For input field I'm using dashboard node text input.

Any ideas?

The various threads about virtual keyboards may help ?

> Hi everyone, I am using the Virtual Keyboard as modified by @hugobox and shared on Node-Red flows. I have sent @hugobox a message but as yet no reply. [link to node](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/7fb5bc5ae66e6bc1b1c1b8e800bdef51) I'm trying to modify it to display the text that has been entered as in this example which I believe is where the Virtual Keyboard originated. I just don't understand JQuery. [Example](http://javidan.github.io/jkeyboard/examples/index.htm) I can see where the header line is displayed (line 524) but I can't see what the value to display is called anywhere. Any pointers or help greatly…

though I think they pop over the top rather than being embedded.
