I am creating an app to do calculations which require a decimal point. One problem that I have come across is that the Samsung numeric keyboard does not have an option for a decimal point when using inputting numbers when I select the numeric option input in MobiOne.
Here is what it looks like:

Is there a way to get a decimal point option in one of the blank boxes?

I was hoping for something like this:

Is there any way to achieve this?

Probably not as that would be device level. You could try adding a decimal point using javascript. Use the textboxes on change call to add the point:

    <script type="text/javascript">
      function intFormat(n)
      {
        var
          regex = /(\d)((\d{3},?)+)$/;
        
        n = n.split(',').join('');
        
        while(regex.test(n))
        {
          n = n.replace(regex, '$1,$2');
        }
        
        return n;
      }
      function numFormat(n)
      {
        var
          pointReg = /([\d,\.]*)\.(\d*)$/, f;
        
        if(pointReg.test(n))
        {
          f = RegExp.$2;
          return intFormat(RegExp.$1) + '.' + f;
        }
        return intFormat(n);
      }
    </script>

I believe this is the code for making a decimal point show up:

<input type=”text” pattern=”[0-9.]*”></input>

I’m not sure how to work it in the code to get it to work though. Where/how can I add this?
