I am working on website where I would like to display the numeric keypad in a text field.

Is it possible to default the numeric keypad once the user starts typing? Currently, the use has to click/touch the numeric symbol to get the numeric keypad.

I would really appreciate.

You can use the <input type="number"> for this. Defaults to type="text" for browsers not supporting it. Read more on MDN
