Hello,

I've written a asp.net web application for the BlackBerry browser. I've included several forms that have a text box used for inputting numeric data. I'm trying to make is so that one doesn't have to press the alt button when entering the numbers - just like when dialing a telephone number from the home screen of the device. Is there a way so that when the cursor is in the text box the device defaults to inserting numbers? Does the possible solution include javascript?

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion rnickel. I tested putting in a input tag as follows:

<input name="Age" size="15" format="*N"/><br/>

Unfortunately, this didn't work as expected. Even if I changed the emulation mode of the browser (followed by completely exiting the browser) the input still didn't default to numerical values.

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure WAP plays a part in this. We're using a BES server and the site is internal on our intranet. I believe WAP requires a WAP gateway and I don't think there's one between the MDS service on the BES and our internal IIS server. Does this sound right?

Either way, thanks again for your suggestion.

Man, your gonna love, as this morning i had the same issue and found the solution

create a style sheet on your project, or add this style tags

input.format_n 
{
	-wap-input-format: "*N";
	-wap-input-required: false;
}

And just link your input to the class format_n and woala, just make sure your browser support the use of style sheets
