Jquery filter text boxes (Preventing user from inserting certain characters)

Question

I am trying to prevent users from typing certain characters in text boxes and this is the code that I have so far :

$().ready(function() {
  $(\".textbox\").keyp

You have to include keyVal = 48 and keyVal = 57 or you will be allowing the 0 and 9 respectively. The final code would look like this:

$().ready(function(){
    $(".textbox").keypress(function(event){
        var keyVal =  (event.charCode || event.keyCode || event.which);
        if((keyVal >= 48 && keyVal <= 57))// Numbers
        {
            return false;
        }
    });
});

Also looks clearer using the || operator as Devon suggested.
