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

The pattern attribute in HTML5 specifies a regular expression that the element's value is checked against.

  <input  type="text" pattern="[0-9]{1,3}" value="" />

Note: The pattern attribute works with the following input types: text, search, url, tel, email, and password.

• [0-9] can be replaced with any regular expression condition.

• {1,3} it represents minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 digit can be entered.

Here is the function I use:

// Numeric only control handler
jQuery.fn.ForceNumericOnly =
function()
{
    return this.each(function()
    {
        $(this).keydown(function(e)
        {
            var key = e.charCode || e.keyCode || 0;
            // allow backspace, tab, delete, enter, arrows, numbers and keypad numbers ONLY
            // home, end, period, and numpad decimal
            return (
                key == 8 || 
                key == 9 ||
                key == 13 ||
                key == 46 ||
                key == 110 ||
                key == 190 ||
                (key >= 35 && key <= 40) ||
                (key >= 48 && key <= 57) ||
                (key >= 96 && key <= 105));
        });
    });
};

You can then attach it to your control by doing:

$("#yourTextBoxName").ForceNumericOnly();

I also would like to answer :)

    $('.justNum').keydown(function(event){
        var kc, num, rt = false;
        kc = event.keyCode;
        if(kc == 8 || ((kc > 47 && kc < 58) || (kc > 95 && kc < 106))) rt = true;
        return rt;
    })
    .bind('blur', function(){
        num = parseInt($(this).val());
        num = isNaN(num) ? '' : num;
        if(num && num < 0) num = num*-1;
        $(this).val(num);
    });

That's it...just numbers. :) Almost it can work just with the 'blur', but...

Why so complicated? You don't even need jQuery because there is a HTML5 pattern attribute:

<input type="text" pattern="[0-9]*">

The cool thing is that it brings up a numeric keyboard on mobile devices, which is way better than using jQuery.

Answer 5

Need to make sure you have the numeric keypad and the tab key working too

 // Allow only backspace and delete
            if (event.keyCode == 46 || event.keyCode == 8  || event.keyCode == 9) {
                // let it happen, don't do anything
            }
            else {
                // Ensure that it is a number and stop the keypress
                if ((event.keyCode >= 48 && event.keyCode <= 57) || (event.keyCode >= 96 && event.keyCode <= 105)) {

                }
                else {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }

Inline:

<input name="number" onkeyup="if (/\D/g.test(this.value)) this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g,'')">

Unobtrusive style (with jQuery):

$('input[name="number"]').keyup(function(e)
                                {
  if (/\D/g.test(this.value))
  {
    // Filter non-digits from input value.
    this.value = this.value.replace(/\D/g, '');
  }
});

<input name="number">
