Answer 1

Is better to create custom binding http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/custom-bindings.html which accept only allowed characters [0-9,.] as numeric representation.

put this line into your view

put this line into your model (remember to bind number as observable property)

ko.bindingHandlers.numeric = {
    init: function (element, valueAccessor) {
        $(element).on("keydown", function (event) {
            // Allow: backspace, delete, tab, escape, and enter
            if (event.keyCode == 46 || event.keyCode == 8 || event.keyCode == 9 || event.keyCode == 27 || event.keyCode == 13 ||
                // Allow: Ctrl+A
                (event.keyCode == 65 && event.ctrlKey === true) ||
                // Allow: . ,
                (event.keyCode == 188 || event.keyCode == 190 || event.keyCode == 110) ||
                // Allow: home, end, left, right
                (event.keyCode >= 35 && event.keyCode <= 39)) {
                // let it happen, don't do anything
                return;
            }
            else {
                // Ensure that it is a number and stop the keypress
                if (event.shiftKey || (event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57) && (event.keyCode < 96 || event.keyCode > 105)) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }
        });
    }
};
