Regex: only numbers with HTML5 (?)

Hi guys, I want to use only numbers here

<input type="text" placeholder="" class="tel" id="placePhone" name="place[phones]" pattern="[0-9]">

I have it that way but I am not pretty sure of what I am doing. And also I need a max length of 15 digits.

A friend shows me this:

pattern="\d{1,15}"

will be right?

Remember what I need is only digits and a max-length of 15 digits.

Hi,

Your solution is usable but it allows user to enter more than 15 characters.

For maximum length html5 has an attribute => maxlength="15" and for only numbers you can use the pattern which you also used with a regular expression.

Solution could be:

<input type="text" placeholder="" class="tel" id="placePhone" name="place[phones]" maxlength="15" pattern="\d*">
