This numeric keypad was designed for input of phone numbers, not decimal values, thus the lack of a decimal point. I believe that recent objective c apis allow you to customize this keypad and add a decimal point, but no equivalent apis are yet available in JavaScript in Safari. Let's hope they show up soon, because this issue comes up repeatedly.
