I have a number input text box and I want to allow the user to edit but do not want to allow the user to enter any other text except numbers. I want them only to be able to use the arrows on the number input box.
<input type = "number" min="0" max="10" step="0.5" input id="rating" name = "rating" class = "login-input" placeholder = "Rating 1-5:" value="0">
You can achieve this by pure JavaScript. Create this function that you can reuse in your script.
function allowNumbersOnly(e) {
var code = (e.which) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
if (code > 31 && (code < 48 || code > 57)) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}
You may preferably call this onkeypress event handler.
<input type="text" id="onlyNumbers" onkeypress="allowNumbersOnly(event)" />
function allowNumbersOnly(e) {
var code = (e.which) ? e.which : e.keyCode;
if (code > 31 && (code < 48 || code > 57)) {
e.preventDefault();
}
