Numeric input in 3650

**bennysasson** · 2003-08-19, 09:46

Hi,
I'm trying to define an input field that should accept numeric value in length upto 12 digits.
I've tried adding format="*N" style="-wap-input-format:*N" to the input tag but this did not work.
Any ideas ???

Hi,

you should use style sheet, but there is limitations, like valid values are only from "1N" to "9N" in case of numerics.
.format_9n { -wap-input-format: "9n" }

However, if the author wants to implement 10 numeric chars, it can be achieved by using format "NNNNNNNNNN" (type N ten times).

If you need more than ten digits, you use "*n".

BR,
Pete

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

Since I need a numeric value up to 12 digits, i've tried using the "*n" value. It does not work (when striking a key in the field, an alphabetic char is prompted).

Any ideas ?

Hello!

Did you use that "*n" on the style sheet?!?

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

I have tested, that it works.

I have tried, and tried and tried implementing all the things mentioned above. But let's face it numeric input does not seem to work for me and the Nokia 3650. :-(

I have attached a simple xhtml page containing the code. I can't see anything wrong with it, maybe one of you can?
But the fact is that Nokia 3650 phone will not change the text input to numeric input.

.format_n {-wap-input-format: "*N";}
</style>

<form action="http://something" method="post" name="numericInputTest">
<input class="format_n" size="7" value="" title="myTitle1" type="text" name="name11" />
<input style="wap-input-format: *N" size="7" value="" title="myTitle2" type="text" name="name2" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

What am I doing wrong???

Hi!

I tested your code with my Nokia 3650 and first input field

<input class="format_n" size="7" value="" title="myTitle1" type="text" name="name11" />

seemed to work ok.

Can you please provide more information?

Kind regards,

What kind of information would you like me to provide to you?

I just find it very, very strange that the same code exucetes diffenrently on same type on Nokia Phone.

But please let met know what other type of information tou need, because i would really like to get this functionality working on my phone.

Thank you in advanced.

Strange - I uploaded this exact test to my server and I get a "REPLY UNKNOWN" error when I try to browse to the code...

What causes this error?
