    and only 15 digits.

    Can you post examples of what valid numbers would be? We should be able to use the input mask to force a certain number of digits. If the first 6 are always the same, you might have to have two fields: the first one with the 6 digits which never change, and the second field with 9 digits. Post some example IDs though so we can see what you're trying to accomplish. Thank you.

    Hi a valid number is 15 digits long.

    99900 this identifies the the chips the company uses and rest are unique as per each chip.

    Example: 999001234567890 that would be a valid chip number.

    Thanks

    I notice the number field only holds single numeric characters.
    How do i make it accept lengthier characters like say 15 digits.

    Thanks

    The number field will hold more than a single digit. Where are you seeing something different?

    Why not make the number field 10 digits long, and display the first five (12345) to the left of the input? 

    12345[__________]

    If the first 5 never change, why require them? I understand you're trying to make them find a number which conforms to the right format, but why pre-enter the first 5 for them?
