title: Trigger numeric keyboard for input in Android/IOS without HTML5
body: <p>I've searched through the websites that I found the following.</p>
  
  <p>Using html5, we can trigger numeric keyboard with effortless like following,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type='tel' /&gt;
  &lt;input type='number'/&gt;
  &lt;input type='text' pattern='some pattern' /&gt; (This will work in IOS and not in android)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am using the <a href="https://github.com/BobKnothe/autoNumeric" rel="nofollow">autoNumeric</a> plugin to format/restrict the user input if as digits.
  <strong>As per the documentation of autoNumeric plugin (<a href="http://www.decorplanit.com/plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://www.decorplanit.com/plugin/</a>),
  autoNumeric won't work if input type='tel/number</strong>' . I tried and yes it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>If I go with the HTML5 and removing autoNumeric, will reflect in the way that my application won't be user friendly. To make it user friendly I need to do more code changes (It should be researched perfectly before start :-( ).</li>
  <li>If I go with autoNumeric, then my application won't be user friendly in MOBILE.</li>
  <li>If I go with another plugin instead of autoNumeric and that support HTML5, then I need to rework with whole project and testing time will take more cost.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Here my requirement is,</p>
  
  <p>How to <strong>enable/trigger numeric keyboard</strong> in mobile/ipad/iphone <strong>without html5</strong> ?</p>
  
  <p>Or</p>
  
  <p>Is there any jquery plugin to <strong>enable/trigger numeric keyboard</strong> in mobile/ipad/iphone <strong>without html5 and with autoNumeric js (<a href="https://github.com/BobKnothe/autoNumeric" rel="nofollow">autonumeric js</a>)</strong>?</p>
