10 Keypad Typing Letters??

[bodington]

I made a web app that is based on a MySQL database .. php.. and templated with HTML and CSS. I have a form that has a lot of fields. I want my users to be able to type numbers using the 10 keypad (like for phone numbers, zips, etc.). The top row numbers on the keyboard work fine, the 10 keypad types letters. Any idea what could be causing this? I don't even know where to start to figure out how to resolve this. Any clue as to why this could be happening would be a HUGE help! Thank you in advance.

If you talk about a notebook keyboard, that could be the case, if numlock is not on, those keys would include letters uiojkl and m.

I have tried on both a notebook and a PC. The numberlock is definitely on. I had 2 other users try it to make sure that I wasn't crazy! But instead of numbers, it is always letters. Any ideas?

On some notebooks you might need to press a key like "fn" or the like to enter numbers. Otherwise wouthout any code I can't see what's causing this. If you use simple form controls they should not influence the input, for example typing the same into notepad should not cause different characters or letters instead of digits. So very probably it has nothing to do with your html.

Bye, Olaf.

Ok, thank you. I think maybe it is the javascript that creates input masks. Thanks for helping me narrow down the problem. I'll post a new question in the javascript forum. Thanks again.

Just to point out the obvious: the numeric keypad and the number keys send different codes.
