Is it possible to create an input field that sets the default input character set to numbers on a mobile phone (so the NUMERICAL KEYBOARD POPS UP)?
For example to make it easier type in a telephone number into a HTML form.

By default, HTML 5 input field has attribute type=”number” that is used to get input in numeric format. Now forcing input field type=”text” to accept numeric values only by using Javascript or jQuery. You can also set type=”tel” attribute in the input field that will popup numeric keyboard on mobile devices.
Complete HTML/CSS Course 2022 To limit an HTML input box to accept numeric input, use the <input type="number">. With this, you will get a numeric input field. After limiting the input box to number, if a user enters text and press submit button, then the following can be seen “Please enter a number.”
The HTML <input> tag is used to get user input in HTML. To give a limit to the input field, use the min and max attributes, which is to specify a maximum and minimum value for an input field respectively. To limit the number of characters, use the maxlength attribute.
The maxlength attribute defines the maximum number of characters (as UTF-16 code units) the user can enter into an <input> or <textarea> . This must be an integer value 0 or higher. If no maxlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input or textarea has no maximum length.
To make inputing numbers easier, use <input type="number">. To make entering phone numbers easier, use <input type="tel">. Not all phone will support them, but the iPhone at least will give you a numeric keypad by default instead of the normal keyboard. See the spec and Dive Into HTML5 for more information.

So you can use either type="tel" or type="numbers".
The difference is that one tries to bring up your phone dial keyboard and other simply switches to the numbers input of your mobile keyboard.
