I have a text field in ASP.NET and i want to allow only alphanumeric and forward slash (/) keys in that. I tried the following code,
function jsCheckInput(e) {
var evt = (e) ? e : window.event;
var key = (evt.keyCode) ? evt.keyCode : evt.which;
if (key != null) {
key = parseInt(key, 10);
if (key < 47 || (key > 57 && key < 65) || (key > 90 && key < 97) || key > 122) {
if (!jsIsUserFriendlyChar(key)) {
return false;
}
}
else {
if (evt.shiftKey) {
return true;
}
}
}
return true;
}
function jsIsUserFriendlyChar(val) {
// Backspace, Tab, Enter, Insert, and Delete
if (val == 8 || val == 9 || val == 13 || val == 45 || val == 46) {
return true;
}
// Ctrl, Alt, CapsLock, Home, End, and Arrows
if ((val > 16 && val < 21) || (val > 34 && val < 41)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
In the web forms page i added like below,
<asp:TextBox ID="text_value" CssClass="textbox" onkeydown="return jsCheckInput(event);" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
Here i am able to enter alphabets and numbers but i am not able to enter the value /
. I have enabled the shift key so i can give shift + ?
to enter the forward slash. Also another problem is when i press shift + any numeric key the special characters there like ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) ...
are also coming in tet field. What am i doing wrong here?
SOLUTION
Finally found a solution as below,
function jsCheckInput(e, t) {
try {
if (window.event) {
var charCode = window.event.keyCode;
}
else if (e) {
var charCode = e.which;
}
else { return true; }
if ((charCode > 64 && charCode < 91) || (charCode > 96 && charCode < 123) || (charCode > 46 && charCode < 58))
return true;
else if (jsIsUserFriendlyChar(charCode))
return true;
else
return false;
}
catch (err) {
alert(err.Description);
}
}
This code works perfectly!!
