How can i force the number field in apex:inputfield to accept numbers only

Hi,
Whats the right way of enforcing the datatype for a inputfield in Visualforce page?
I have a field defined as number but still can take characters.
We have another requirement where we want another input field defined as percent to accept percent only.
Please advise.

The page allows to enter the alphabets but only numbers will be comitted to the data base. The best way is enforce javaScript that can show an error on page while user enters any thing other than numbers.

if you have field defined as number or percent then <apex:inputField> will allow only number or percent. you don't need to do any thing. probably check if you are saving your VF page with latest api version.
