Use the following JavaScript function to only allow numeric (0-9) input and backspace input in a web form text field.
JavaScript:
function numbersonly(e) {
var unicode=e.charCode? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
if (unicode!=8){ //if the key isn't the backspace key (which we should allow)
if (unicode<48||unicode>57) //if not a number return false //disable key press
}}
Usage:
<input onkeypress=”return numbersonly(event);” name=”VAT_Number”>
To allow for tabbing change (unicode!=8) to (unicode!=8 && unicode!=9)
