Once more, the iPhone recognises type="tel", only this time it goes one step further and completely changes the keyboard to the standard phone keyboard, as shown on the left in Figure 6. In addition to the iPhone, some Android devices (such as HTC Desire, shown on the right in Figure 6) also display a numeric keyboard for type="tel". That’s pretty handy, don’t you think? Nice, big keys for entering a phone number help you to get that big, nasty form completed quickly.

In contrast to Opera’s implementation, the iPhone (Figure 8) and some Android devices (such as HTC Desire, shown on the right in Figure 6-13) simply render the field as a standard text box but optimize the keyboard for easy input.

Chris’ technique may soon become absolete though with the introduction of the inputmode attribute. The attribute, recently added to the specification will allow users to specify the type of input mechanism that is most useful for users. When implemented, you will be able to choose between numeric, latin, email, or kana input modes.
