How to allow only numeric (0-9) in HTML inputbox using jQuery?

Question

I am creating a web page where I have an input text field in which I want to allow only numeric characters like (0,1,2,3,4,5...9) 0-9.

How can I do this using jQuery

Answer 1

Something fairly simple using jQuery.validate

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#formID").validate({
        rules: {
            field_name: {
                numericOnly:true
            }
        }
    });
});

$.validator.addMethod('numericOnly', function (value) {
       return /^[0-9]+$/.test(value);
}, 'Please only enter numeric values (0-9)');
