Topic: Force the decimal keypad when entering times on mobile devices

Hi Roel,

Here's a neat trick I was recently able to add to the calendar.

I use my iPhone and iPad to create events, and realised I can make this process easier if I can get the "digits" keypad to pop when i select the start and end time boxes. As luck would have it the "decimal" keypad includes the digits AND a period, and the calendar code treats the period the same as a colon!

All I needed to do was edit /cal/pages/eventform1.php and add inputmode='decimal' into the span dTimeS and dTimeE elements.

Here's one in context:

<span id='dTimeS'{$hidden}><input inputmode='decimal' class='time' type='text' name='sti' id='sti' value='{$sti}'>

Hi Greig,
Sounds like a good suggestion. And it's very easy to implement.
I will test it and add it to the next calendar version.
Thanks very much!
Roel
