Don't allow typing alphabetic characters in a < input type=number />

I need to have a textbox, where, whenever typed inside should ONLY allow numbers [0-9]. I've used type=number which definitely holds the client side validation but also allows to type other alphabets. I can do it by tracking each keydown and matching with regex but I was wondering if there is any way I can restrict to type using only html tags and NOT defining any functions in JavaScript to compare in each keydown?

Code not sufficient to do so is:

    <input type=number id=txt_number maxlength=70 name=txt_name placeholder=Number>

Any help is appreciated.
