what input field type forces the number pad mobile keyboard to come up when focused?

Use pattern="[0-9]*"

  • Example number input: <input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" />

  • Example phone input: <input type="tel" pattern="[0-9]*" />

Note: Browsers that do not support type="tel" will default to a text type

Beware: Using type="number" can cause problems with some browsers and user experience for credit card, postal code, and telephone inputs where a user might need to enter punctuation or a comma being in the output.
