title: Is it possible to control switching the alphabet and numbers keyboards on iPad?
body: <p>I have a form which contains a lot of individual fields which contain numeric values. The issue I have is that on an iPad the on-screen keyboard is split between an alphabetic and numeric one like so: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/1zSmv.png" alt="iPad keyboard"></p>
  
  <p>The issue is that when switching between each individual form field, the iPad reverts to the alphabetic keyboard which is not disastrous but definitely inconvenient for the end user. Is there anything I can do to tell iPad which keyboard to show for a specific input type or some other way of keeping the numeric keyboard for certain form elements?</p>
  
  <p>I'm specifically referring to developing for the web and not iOS apps. I'm sceptical and so far Googling has not brought up any results but I wonder if there is an input type that iPad might recognise as numeric automatically.</p>
