On the NodeRed Dashboard. We are using the Text Input to allow user input a phone number.  
All works well.  
We have set the Text Input mode = phone also numbers.  
However on iOs ( iPad) it does not trigger the Numeric only keypad.  
What we like is the keypad to show 0-9 and .

Any ideas?

Why not build a little keypad with the numbers and period? Each one could be a button. I'm sure I've seen it done by others not the forum.

Did you try a search of the forum using 'keypad'?

well that is just using the html5 input types - so it is down to how the local browser decides to render it...  
eg try here also - [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html\_form\_input\_types.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_form_input_types.asp)
