You can try thiss jQuery code :

In HTML

In JS

$(document).ready(function () {
    var element = document.getElementById('number');

    $("#number").keydown(function (event) {
        // Allow only backspace and delete

        if($(this).val().length <= 9 || event.keyCode == 46 || event.keyCode == 8 || event.keyCode == 9 )
        {
            if (event.keyCode == 46 || event.keyCode == 8 || event.keyCode == 9) {
                // let it happen, don't do anything
            } else {
                // Ensure that it is a number and stop the keypress
                if ((event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57) && (event.keyCode < 96 || event.keyCode > 105)) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }
        }else{

            event.preventDefault();
        }          

    });


});
