I\'m using the following Javascript to restrict a text field on my website to only accept numerical input, and no other letters or characters. The problem is, it REALLY reje
This is a variation on Robert's answer that allows a single decimal point to be entered. If a decimal point has already been entered, only numbers are accepted as input.
JSFiddle - decimal number input
// Allow only decimal number input
$('#decimalInput').keypress(function (e) {
var a = [];
var k = e.which;
for (i = 48; i < 58; i++)
a.push(i);
// allow a max of 1 decimal point to be entered
if (this.value.indexOf(".") === -1) {
a.push(46);
}
if (!(a.indexOf(k) >= 0)) e.preventDefault();
$('span').text('KeyCode: ' + k);
});
I know that there are already many answers but for the sake of simplicity i would like to add another answer which is simple and self explanatory in which we do not have to remember keycodes and it also works across all browsers.
document.getElementById('myinput').onkeydown = function(e)
{
console.log(e.key);
//console.log(e.target.value);
switch (e.key)
{
case "1":
case "2":
case "3":
case "4":
case "5":
case "6":
case "7":
case "8":
case "9":
case "0":
case "Backspace":
return true;
break;
case ".":
if (e.target.value.indexOf(".") == -1)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
break;
default:
return false;
}
}
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter Value" id="myinput" />
This JavaScript function will be used to restrict alphabets and special characters in Textbox , only numbers, delete, arrow keys and backspace will be allowed. JavaScript Code Snippet - Allow Numbers in TextBox, Restrict Alphabets and Special Characters
Tested in IE & Chrome.
JavaScript function
<script type="text/javascript">
/*code: 48-57 Numbers
8 - Backspace,
35 - home key, 36 - End key
37-40: Arrow keys, 46 - Delete key*/
function restrictAlphabets(e){
var x=e.which||e.keycode;
if((x>=48 && x<=57) || x==8 ||
(x>=35 && x<=40)|| x==46)
return true;
else
return false;
}
</script>

Refrence
Javascript is often used on the browser client side to perform simple tasks that would otherwise require a full postback to the server. Many of those simple tasks involve processing text or characters entered into a form element on a web page, and it is often necessary to know the javascript keycode associated with a character. Here is a reference.
Press a key in the text box below to see the corresponding Javascript key code.
function restrictCharacters(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : window.event;
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if (((charCode >= '48') && (charCode <= '57')) || (charCode == '44')) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
Enter Text:
<input type="text" id="number" onkeypress="return restrictCharacters(event);" />

There is my current solution of numeric input, need to test in different browsers but seems to work
Support comma and period delimiter (czech native is comma), space and numpad/keyboard numbers input. Allow Ctrl+C Ctrl+A or Ctrl+X, arrow navigation and delete block Ctrl+V. React on escape key by blurring input.
Watch my Coffee script:
(($) ->
$.fn.onlyNumbers = ->
@each ->
$(@).keydown (e) ->
# get code of key
code = if e.keyCode then e.keyCode else e.which
return $(@).blur() if code is 27 # blur on escape
return if code in [46, 8, 9, 13] # 46, 8, 9, 27, 13 = backspace, delete, tab, escape, and enter
return if (e.ctrlKey or e.metaKey) and code in [65, 67, 88] # ctrl|command + [a, c, x]
return if code in [96..105] # numpad numbers
return if code in [48..57] # numbers on keyboard
return if code in [35..39] # 35..39 - home, end, left, right
return if code in [188, 190, 32] # comma, period, space
return if code in [44] # comma, period,
e.returnValue = false # IE hate you
e.preventDefault();
$(@).keypress (e) ->
code = if e.keyCode then e.keyCode else e.which
return if code in [44, 46, 32] # comma, period, space
return if code in [48..57] # numbers on keyboard
e.returnValue = false # IE hate you
e.preventDefault();
