Answer 1

Here are two functions, accepting an array of selector(s) as a parameter that will accomplish this:

  // Turn input into Number keyboard
  function inputNumber(numArr) {
    if (numArr instanceof Array) {
      for (var i = 0; i < numArr.length; i++) {
        if ($(numArr[i]).length > 0) {
          var copy = $(numArr[i]);
          var numEle = copy.clone();
          numEle.attr("type", "number");
          numEle.insertBefore(copy);
          copy.remove();
        }
      }
    }
  }
  // Turn input into Email keyboard 
  function inputEmail(emailArr) {
    if (emailArr instanceof Array) {
      for (var i = 0; i < emailArr.length; i++) {
        if ($(emailArr[i]).length > 0) {            
          var copy = $(emailArr[i]);
          var numEle = copy.clone();
          numEle.attr("type", "number");
          numEle.insertBefore(copy);
          copy.remove();
        }
      }
    }
  }

You can then use this like:

  var numberArr = ["#some-input-id", "#another-input-id"];
  var emailArr = ["#some-input-id", "#another-input-id"];

  inputNumber(numberArr);
  inputEmail(emailArr);
