input a value via HTML page

[giangiammy]

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.public.* groups.
Some very experienced people over there with this sort of thing.
This group tends to be more internet application and cross-browser focused.
