HTML text input allow only numeric input

Question

Is there a quick way to set an HTML text input () to only allow numeric keystrokes (plus \'.\')?

Answer 1

JavaScript

function validateNumber(evt) {
    var e = evt || window.event;
    var key = e.keyCode || e.which;

    if (!e.shiftKey && !e.altKey && !e.ctrlKey &&
    // numbers   
    key >= 48 && key <= 57 ||
    // Numeric keypad
    key >= 96 && key <= 105 ||
    // Backspace and Tab and Enter
    key == 8 || key == 9 || key == 13 ||
    // Home and End
    key == 35 || key == 36 ||
    // left and right arrows
    key == 37 || key == 39 ||
    // Del and Ins
    key == 46 || key == 45) {
        // input is VALID
    }
    else {
        // input is INVALID
        e.returnValue = false;
        if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
    }
}

additional you could add comma, period and minus (,.-)

  // comma, period and minus, . on keypad
  key == 190 || key == 188 || key == 109 || key == 110 ||
