input a value via HTML page

hi all,

I have a browser running on a touchscreen, without a keyboard.
I need to input a number in a form.

Do you know if it is possible to write a HTML page,
pure HTML (preferred) or with javascript, to simulate
a keypad to input the number by clicking on the various
buttons?

Eventually, which is the more adapt newsgroup to ask to?

thanks
giammy

Pure html cannot capture events such as what you'd need to capture a touch on
a button to do things that affect an input (rather than just one submit
button that submits a form). So, no.
or with javascript, to simulate
a keypad to input the number by clicking on the various
buttons?


A kiosk application?
MSIE?

If so, HTA is your friend, as is msnews: microsoft.publi c.* groups.
Some very experienced people over there with this sort of thing.
This group tends to be more internet application and cross-browser focused.

Hello, I have noticed that when using JavaScript to create a page, the sizes of the text input form elements come out bigger than the size I am trying to set them to. I don't know if it matters, but I am using IE6... For example: if I create a text input with a size of "1" using straight HTML, and then type into it, I can see 2 characters at a time. But when I use JavaScript's 'document.write()' function to create the same text...

Re: ASP.NET 2.0 I would like suggestions or code examples on how to collect a variable length list of input data (item# & item quantity specifically).

Does this approach sound feasible or are there better alternatives? My problem is that I don't...

Hi All; I, like others, have been frustrated with designing forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox. They simply did not scale the same. I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem to offer any way to control the font size of a text input element.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
