I want to validate the string which the user enters into a textbox. I have to prevent user from entering alpha characters into the textbox and I also want to restrict user to entering no more than 6 digits, and also prevent the user from entering special characters into the textbox. I have tried the below code which is working when the user manually enters the value in textbox, but it's not working when the user pastes the some code into textbox.
<input type="text" name="textbox" id="textbox" class="form-control" required>
$("#textbox").on('keypress', function(e) {
var length = 6;
var validationtype = 'numeric';
var stringLength = $('#textbox').val().length;
if(stringLength < length) {
if(validationtype == 'alphanumeric') {
if (e.which != 8 && e.which != 0 && ((e.which < 65 || e.which > 122) || (e.which < 48 || e.which > 57))) {
return false;
}
} else if (validationtype == 'numeric') {
if (e.which != 8 && e.which != 0 && (e.which < 48 || e.which > 57)) {
return false;
}
}
} else {
return false;
}
});
Just use Paste event to handle this the same way.
/*Click and Past events*/
$("#textbox").on('keypress', function(e) {
return onTextChange(e, this);
});
$("#textbox").on("paste", function(e){
return onTextChange(e, this);
});
/*--------------------*/
function onTextChange(e, thisRef){
let length = 6;
let stringLength = $(thisRef).val().length;
let validationtype = 'numeric';
if(stringLength < length && e.which !== undefined) {
if(validationtype == 'alphanumeric') {
if (e.which != 8 && e.which != 0 && ((e.which < 65 || e.which > 122) || (e.which < 48 || e.which > 57))) {
return false;
}
} else if (validationtype == 'numeric') {
if (e.which != 8 && e.which != 0 && (e.which < 48 || e.which > 57)) {
return false;
}
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

I have to allow only Debit/Credit card number format in asp.net textbox. Below is a sample screenshot-
Please let me know how to do this with asp.net textbox and I don't have to use validators.
Note: I only have to allow numbers and after every 4 numbers there
should be a hyphen(-).
I would strongly recommend you not to reinvent the bicycle and use jQuery inputmask plugin which will let you do the following:
$("input").inputmask({
mask: "9999 9999 9999 9999",
placeholder: ""
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.inputmask/3.3.4/jquery.inputmask.bundle.js"></script>
<input type="text"/>
Note that in this code I assumed that card number consists of 4 groups of 4 digits each, and it is not always true - it depends on expected cards' payment systems, country etc.
You can easily achieve any result by adding or removing digits in mask.
You can do the following:
<input type="text" onkeypress="return allowNumbersAndHyphen(event)">
function allowNumbersAndHyphen(evt) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode;
//allowing numbers, left key(37) right key(39) backspace(8) delete(46) and hyphen(45)
var length = $('input').val().length;
if (((charCode == 37 || charCode == 39 || charCode == 8 || charCode == 46 || charCode == 45) || !(charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))) && length <19)
{
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
//put hyphens atomatically
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input').on('keypress', function() {
var temp = $(this).val();
if (temp.length == 4 || temp.length == 9 || temp.length == 14) {
$('input').val(temp + '-');
}
});
$('input').on('blur', function() {
var regex = /^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}$/;
var cardNumber = $(this).val();
if(regex.test(cardNumber)) {
//success
alert('successful');
}
else {
//show your error
alert('Error');
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false -->
Using vanilla javascript
document.getElementById('inp1').onkeypress = verify;
console.clear();
function isKeyValid(key) {
if(key > 47 && key < 58) return true
else if(key === 45) return true;
else return false;
}
function isValidCard(arr, isDash) {
const last = arr[arr.length - 1];
if(last.length === 4 && !isDash) return false;
else if(isDash && last.length !== 4) return false;
else if(isDash && arr.length === 4) return false;
else return true;
}
function verify(e) {
const key = e.keyCode || e.which;
const isDash = key === 45;
const val = e.target.value;
const input = val.split('-');
if (!isKeyValid(key) || !isValidCard(input, isDash)) {

On html I have one input box in which I just want to enter numeric values. I used following function:
function allowNumbersOnly(event,locale) {
if(locale=='en' && (event.keyCode==190 || event.keyCode==110)){
return true;
}
else if(locale=='nl' && (event.keyCode==188 || event.keyCode==190 || event.keyCode==110)){
return true;
}
if(event.keyCode==189 || (event.keyCode==109) ){
return true;
}
var key = event.charCode || event.keyCode || 0;
// allow backspace, tab, delete, arrows, numbers and keypad numbers ONLY
if (
key == 8 ||
key == 9 ||
key == 46 ||
(key >= 37 && key <= 40) ||
(key >= 48 && key <= 57) ||
(key >= 96 && key <= 105)){
}else{
event.preventDefault();
}
}
This code works fine. But when I am pressing shift key+ any number from keyboard then special character gets entered. Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?
Try the following function
function isNumber(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : window.event;
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
If you are using HTML5 just try
<input type="number">
Try like this:
function blockspecialcharacter(e) {
var key= document.all ? key= e.keyCode : key= e.which;
return ((key > 64 && key < 91) || (key> 96 && key< 123) || key== 8 || key== 32 || (key>= 48 && key<= 57));
}
Check demo here
shiftKey event attribute returns a Boolean value that indicates whether or not the "SHIFT" key was pressed
if (event.shiftKey==1)
{
alert("The shift key was pressed!")
}
else
{
alert("The shift key was NOT pressed!")
}
so you can exit from your function if shift is pressed using value of event.shiftKey
// in your code
function allowNumbersOnly(event,locale) {
if (event.shiftKey==1) {
return false;
} // RETURN if shift key got clicked.
if (locale=='en' && (event.keyCode==190 || event.keyCode==110)) {
return true;
}
else if (locale=='nl' && (event.keyCode == 188 ||
event.keyCode == 190 ||
event.keyCode == 110)) {
return true;
}
if (event.keyCode==189 || (event.keyCode==109)) {
return true;
}
var key = event.charCode || event.keyCode || 0;
// allow backspace, tab, delete, arrows, numbers and keypad numbers ONLY
if (key == 8 ||
key == 9 ||
key == 46 ||
(key >= 37 && key <= 40) ||
(key >= 48 && key <= 57) ||
(key >= 96 && key <= 105)) {
}
else {
event.preventDefault();
}
}
Try this:
function blockSpecialChars(e){
var e = e || window.event;
var k = e.which || e.keyCode;
var s = String.fromCharCode(k);
return !/^[\\\"\'\;\:\>\|~`!##\$%^&*\(\)]$/i.test(s);
}
Add or remove the special characters from the above code to make it as you need.
Guys and gals i have this piece of JavaScript code that only allows for numbers and one decimal period. The problem i'm having is that when i tab over to my textbox controls it highlights the value but i have press backspace to erase then enter a number. That is an extra keystroke that i want to prevent.
Props to the guy who created it found (http://www.coderanch.com/t/114528/HTML-CSS-JavaScript/decimal-point-restriction) and here is the code. I put this on keyUp event.
<script>
// Retrieve last key pressed. Works in IE and Netscape.
// Returns the numeric key code for the key pressed.
function getKey(e)
{
if (window.event)
return window.event.keyCode;
else if (e)
return e.which;
else
return null;
}
function restrictChars(e, obj)
{
var CHAR_AFTER_DP = 2; // number of decimal places
var validList = "0123456789."; // allowed characters in field
var key, keyChar;
key = getKey(e);
if (key == null) return true;
// control keys
// null, backspace, tab, carriage return, escape
if ( key==0 || key==8 || key==9 || key==13 || key==27 )
return true;
// get character
keyChar = String.fromCharCode(key);
// check valid characters
if (validList.indexOf(keyChar) != -1)
{
// check for existing decimal point
var dp = 0;
if( (dp = obj.value.indexOf( ".")) > -1)
{
if( keyChar == ".")
return false; // only one allowed
else
{
// room for more after decimal point?
if( obj.value.length - dp <= CHAR_AFTER_DP)
return true;
}
}
else return true;
}
// not a valid character
return false;
}
</script>
<input type="text" class="decimal" value="" />
And in Js use this
$('.decimal').keyup(function(){
var val = $(this).val();
if(isNaN(val)){
val = val.replace(/[^0-9\.]/g,'');
if(val.split('.').length>2)
val =val.replace(/\.+$/,"");
}
$(this).val(val);
});
Check this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2YW8g/
THis worked for me, i have taken this answer from "Nickalchemist" and take none of its credit.
If you can't use an already stable and well-know library, you can try something like this:
document.write('<input id="inputField" onkeyup="run(this)" />');
function run(field) {
setTimeout(function() {
var regex = /\d*\.?\d?/g;
field.value = regex.exec(field.value);
}, 0);
}
I know it doesn't prevent the wrong char to appear, but it works.
PS: that setTimeout(..., 0) is a trick to execute the function after the value of the field has already been modified.
Here is a sample solution that will accept a number with one(1) decimal point only. e.g 1.12, 11.5
Enter a number with one(1) decimal point only<br />
<input type="text" id="decimalPt"> <br />
$('.decimalPt').keypress(function(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : window.event;
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if (charCode == 8 || charCode == 37) {
return true;
} else if (charCode == 46 && $(this).val().indexOf('.') != -1) {
return false;
} else if (charCode > 31 && charCode != 46 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57)) {
return false;
}
return true;
});
Take a look at this: https://jsfiddle.net/sudogem/h43r6g7v/12/
I think it would be best to use something that already exists... like Masked Input Plugin with jQuery
Try this,
$('input').on('keydown', function (event) {
return isNumber(event, this);
});
function isNumber(evt, element) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if ((charCode != 190 || $(element).val().indexOf('.') != -1) // “.” CHECK DOT, AND ONLY ONE.
&& (charCode != 110 || $(element).val().indexOf('.') != -1) // “.” CHECK DOT, AND ONLY ONE.
&& ((charCode < 48 && charCode != 8)
|| (charCode > 57 && charCode < 96)
|| charCode > 105))
return false;
return true;
}
Be sure to test on any browser. The accepted answer doesn't work on Firefox.
Try HTML5 type number:
<input type="number" placeholder="1.0" step="0.1">
You could define min="0" max="10"
Reference:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/number#Controlling_input_size
Note: type="number" is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
I solve my problem with like this.
const sanitize = (value = '') => value.replace(/(-(?!\d))|[^0-9|-]/g, '') || ''
export const toNumeric = value => {
let digits = sanitize(value)
// parseInt with 0 fix/avoid NaN
digits = parseInt(0 + digits)
let newValue = digits.toString().padStart(4, 0)
return newValue
}
i'm making some input mask that allows only float number. But current problem is I can't check if multiple dots entered. Can you check those dots and prevent it for me?
Live Code: http://jsfiddle.net/thisizmonster/VRa6n/
$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
if (event.which != 46 && (event.which < 47 || event.which > 59))
{
event.preventDefault();
if ((event.which == 46) && ($(this).indexOf('.') != -1)) {
event.preventDefault();
}
}
});
You can check for the period in the same statement.
Also, you need to use the val method to get the value of the element.
Also, you want to check for the interval 48 to 57, not 47 to 59, otherwise you will also allow /, : and ;.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('.float-number').keypress(function(event) {
if ((event.which != 46 || $(this).val().indexOf('.') != -1) && (event.which < 48 || event.which > 57)) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<html>
<body>
Enter Number:
<input type="text" name="number" value="" class="float-number">
</body>
</html>
I think you guys have missed the left right arrows, delete and backspace keys.
$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
if(event.which == 8 || event.keyCode == 37 || event.keyCode == 39 || event.keyCode == 46)
return true;
else if((event.which != 46 || $(this).val().indexOf('.') != -1) && (event.which < 48 || event.which > 57))
event.preventDefault();
});
I think everybody forgot the case of pasting text with the mouse, in which you can't detect the keystrokes, because there's none. Here's another approach I have been working on.
// only integer or float numbers (with precision limit)
// example element: <input type="text" value="" class="number" name="number" id="number" placeholder="enter number" />
$('.number').on('keydown keypress keyup paste input', function () {
// allows 123. or .123 which are fine for entering on a MySQL decimal() or float() field
// if more than one dot is detected then erase (or slice) the string till we detect just one dot
// this is likely the case of a paste with the right click mouse button and then a paste (probably others too), the other situations are handled with keydown, keypress, keyup, etc
while ( ($(this).val().split(".").length - 1) > 1 ) {
$(this).val($(this).val().slice(0, -1));
if ( ($(this).val().split(".").length - 1) > 1 ) {
continue;
} else {
return false;
}
}
// replace any character that's not a digit or a dot
$(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^0-9.]/g, ''));
// now cut the string with the allowed number for the integer and float parts
// integer part controlled with the int_num_allow variable
// float (or decimal) part controlled with the float_num_allow variable
var int_num_allow = 3;
var float_num_allow = 1;
var iof = $(this).val().indexOf(".");
if ( iof != -1 ) {
// this case is a mouse paste (probably also other events) with more numbers before the dot than is allowed
// the number can't be "sanitized" because we can't "cut" the integer part, so we just empty the element and optionally change the placeholder attribute to something meaningful
if ( $(this).val().substring(0, iof).length > int_num_allow ) {
$(this).val('');
// you can remove the placeholder modification if you like
$(this).attr('placeholder', 'invalid number');
}
// cut the decimal part
$(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, iof + float_num_allow + 1));
} else {
$(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, int_num_allow));
}
return true;
});
Good for integer and float values. Plus, copy/paste clipboard event.
var el = $('input[name="numeric"]');
el.prop("autocomplete",false); // remove autocomplete (optional)
el.on('keydown',function(e){
var allowedKeyCodesArr = [9,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,8,37,39,109,189,46,110,190]; // allowed keys
if($.inArray(e.keyCode,allowedKeyCodesArr) === -1 && (e.keyCode != 17 && e.keyCode != 86)){ // if event key is not in array and its not Ctrl+V (paste) return false;
e.preventDefault();
} else if($.trim($(this).val()).indexOf('.') > -1 && $.inArray(e.keyCode,[110,190]) != -1){ // if float decimal exists and key is not backspace return fasle;
e.preventDefault();
} else {
return true;
};
}).on('paste',function(e){ // on paste
var pastedTxt = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('Text').replace(/[^0-9.]/g, ''); // get event text and filter out letter characters
if($.isNumeric(pastedTxt)){ // if filtered value is numeric
e.originalEvent.target.value = pastedTxt;
e.preventDefault();
} else { // else
e.originalEvent.target.value = ""; // replace input with blank (optional)
e.preventDefault(); // retur false
};
});

Your code seems quite fine but overcomplicated.
First, it is $(this).val().indexOf, because you want to do something with the value.
Second, the event.which == 46 check is inside an if clause that's only passed when event.which != 46, which can never be true.
I ended up with this which works: http://jsfiddle.net/VRa6n/3/.
$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
if(event.which < 46
|| event.which > 59) {
event.preventDefault();
} // prevent if not number/dot
if(event.which == 46
&& $(this).val().indexOf('.') != -1) {
event.preventDefault();
} // prevent if already dot
});
I found this way to do this,
$.validator.addMethod("currency", function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^\$(\d{1,3}(\,\d{3})*|(\d+))(\.\d{2})?$/.test(value);
}, "Please specify a valid amount");

One-more plugin, based on Carlos Castillo answer
https://github.com/nikita-vanyasin/jquery.numberfield.js
Adds method to jQuery object:
$('input.my_number_field').numberField(options);
where options is (you can pass any or no options):
{
ints: 2, // digits count to the left from separator
floats: 6, // digits count to the right from separator
separator: "."
}
Using jQuery and allowing negative floats :
// Force floats in '.js_floats_only' inputs
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.js_floats_only').each(function() {
// Store starting value in data-value attribute.
$(this).data('value', this.value);
});
});
$(document).on('keyup', '.js_floats_only', function() {
var val = this.value;
if ( val == '-' ) {
// Allow starting with '-' symbol.
return;
} else {
if ( isNaN(val) ) {
// If value is not a number put back previous valid value.
this.value = $(this).data('value');
} else {
// Value is valid, store it inside data-value attribute.
$(this).data('value', val);
}
}
});
For simple cases and without hardcoding some html instructions would fit that pretty enough
<input type="number" step="0.01"/>
$('.number').keypress(function(event){
