Basic Usage

The NumericTextBox provides a set of default API configuration options which can be set during its initialization such as minimum and maximum values, incremental steps, and so on.

The following example demonstrates how to create a NumericTextBox and set some of its configuration options.

 <input id="textbox">

 <script>
    $("#textbox").kendoNumericTextBox({
        value: 10,
        min: -10,
        max: 100,
        step: 0.75,
        format: "n",
        decimals: 3
    });
</script>

Initializing the NumericTextBox

Upon its initialization, the NumericTextBox wraps the <input> element with a <span> tag and renders its Spin buttons.

To get a reference to the NumericTextBox, always use id instead of a class selector. Behind the scenes, the NumericTextBox creates a secondary element that represents the visual look of the widget and copies all non-id attributes including the class. When you use the class for referencing the widget, this behavior causes unexpected results.

The following example demonstrates how to initialize the NumericTextBox.

<input id="textBox" />

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#textBox").kendoNumericTextBox();
    });
</script>
