Input validation on keypress
Hi,
Is there anyway to validate each key used on input? I'd like to restrict a field to only numeric values and would like to just block alpha characters and not alert or prompt, just 'ignore'.
TIA!

And this is as good as it gets:
activeInput.onKeyPress = function (event) {
var isIe = /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var key = String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode || event.charCode);
var txt = this.getControlText();
if ('0123456789'.indexOf(key) == -1)
{
if (isIe)
event.keyCode = 0;
else
{
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
}
}

Here is another solution using onControlTextChanging event (also works on copy/paste etc.)
<style>
.aw-gecko .aw-edit-control .aw-item-box {
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>
<script>
var obj = new AW.UI.Input;
obj.onControlTextChanging = function(text){
if (text.match(/[^0-9.+-]/)){
return "error";
}
}
document.write(obj);
</script>
