Number Keyboard for Mobile Devices

When it comes to creating a number input, we would create an <input/> with the type attribute set to number. This makes arrow buttons show up that can let us go up and down.

On mobile, we don't want this. It's expected by the end-user that their numberic keyboard shows up, so we set the inputmode instead.

When building a custom video player, it will likely not work for end-users that have decided to disable JavaScript in their web browser. To get around this, it's best to add a fallback that'll allow them to switch over to the web browser's native player.

To pull this off, we'll take advantage of the HTML tag known as details and noscript.

Detect JavaScript is Disabled

First, we need to tell if JavaScript is disabled, we can use the noscript tag. Anything used within a noscript tag is shown if JavaScript is not present.

<noscript>If you're seeing this, JavaScript is not enabled.</noscript>

During the day, I happen to switch between my speakers and headphones quite a bit. I've recently decided to setup custom shortcuts to switch quickly between them without needing to open the volume menu in GNOME or KDE.
