Answer 1

This is how you use the input type number in HTML5:

<input type="number" name="cost">

Here is a working example of the input type number.

If you want to add validation try this:

<input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" name="cost">

Here is a working example of the pattern attribute.

Note: Both the input type number and the pattern attribute have limited browser support.
