number input code example

Example 1: html restrict input to numbers

<input type="text" oninput="this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, '').replace(/(\..*)\./g, '$1');" />

Example 2: form with number input html

<input id="number" type="number" value="42">

Example 3: html input get number

<form id="frm1" action="Calculate.html">
    <table width="350px" border="1px">
        <tr>
            <th colspan="2">Availability</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Total Production Time</td>
            <td>
                <input type="number" id="TotalProductionTime" placeholder="">hours</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Breaks</td>
            <td>
                <input type="number" id="Breaks" placeholder="">minutes</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Malfunctions</td>
            <td>
                <input type="number" id="Malfunctions" placeholder="">minutes</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Theoretical production time:</td>
            <td>
                <p id="test"></p>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <input type="button" onclick="Calculate()" value="calculate">
</form>


function Calculate() {
    var TotalProductionTime = document.getElementById("TotalProductionTime").value;
    var TotalProductionTimeInMinutes = TotalProductionTime * 60;
    var Breaks = document.getElementById("Breaks").value;
    var Malfunctions = document.getElementById("Malfunctions").value;
    var TheoreticalProductionTime = TotalProductionTimeInMinutes - Breaks - Malfunctions;

    document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = TheoreticalProductionTime;
}

Example 4: input number has empty value

The hack is to use type="tel" instead of type="number".

This solves the 2 main issues:

It pulls up a number keypad on mobile devices
It validates (and is not empty) with numbers or non-numbers as input.
