We are delivering our survey on iPads and have many form fields where the user is being asked to input numbers. If the input field was specified <input type="number" />, the iPad would know to present the numeric keyboard to the user. Is there a way do to this through the Admin interface? Or does this require heavy lifting by going into the source code? (Note that we already know about form field validation) Thanks in advance.

Hello Marjorie,

The use of [type="number"] for form input fields was introduced with HTML5 which is not used yet in the SP tool. There are ways to change the form field type dynamically by using javascript (google: javascript change input field type).

You may try using the Answer Type Editor, create a new answer type and add the javascript to change the type to number. If this does not work you will have to go into the sources and create new answertypes.
