RegExp For Delete, Backspace And Arrow Keys

Nov 8, 2006

I'm using the below to limit the input into a text box to just letters,
numbers, hyphens and full stops, but I also need to allow the backspace,
delete and arrow keys to come through. How can I do this?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function onKeyPressBlockNumbers(e)
{
var key = window.event ? e.keyCode : e.which;
var keychar = String.fromCharCode(key);
reg = /^[.a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$/;
return reg.test(keychar);
}
//-->
</script>

<form>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return onKeyPressBlockNumbers(event);" />
</form>

Disable Up / Down Arrow Keys In Mozilla Firefox Browser

Aug 21, 2009

I got this problem while disabling Up/Down arrow keys in Mozilla firefox browser useing javascript Given a standard HTML select/option box, I can capture any keypress while the select has focus and stop the select�s option list from changing values in IE but not in Mozilla.

[Code]....

In IE and Mozilla I have no trouble capturing the keyCode, and in IE I can prevent pressing a letter "D" and Up/Down arrows from making the list move to Dead, but the select list will drop to �Dead� in Mozilla. I've tried attaching the event handler to keyup, keydown and keypress, but have yet to find a way in Mozila to capture the keypress and prevent the select list from changing the current selection.

Using Arrow Keys To Navigate Around Inside An HTML Form?

Oct 9, 2009

A client would like me to implement spreadsheet-style form traversal using the arrow keys on a keyboard, i.e. left arrow would submit the entry for that field and then move left by one field on the form.

The form is managed by my PHP code. Does anyone have a browser-independent method of doing this please?

All input fields in the form are single line text fields.

Search Box Autocomplete - Keyboard Selection Using Arrow Keys

Apr 26, 2010

I am implementing an "auto complete search box" much like the one Google uses. If you notice on Google, if you type a letter and the drop down box appears with the predicted terms, you are able to navigate in and select from those terms using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

In my implementation, the drop down box is really just a DIV. It is separate from the search box. How do I replicate the Google behavior?

Diving Into Regexp By Porting A Perl Script Over To Js That Uses Regexp To Compress Into A Bookmarklet Capable Format?

Aug 10, 2010

I'm finally diving into regexp by porting a perl script over to js that uses regexp to compress javascript into a bookmarklet capable format.I've successfully worked out 90% of the expressions but am troubled with a few, this one at the moment is odd:I want to remove the first line if it hasjavascript:So I thought str.replace(/^javascripts+:s+/, "") would be ok. I want javascript text, any space, colon, any space and new line. what I'm doing wrong.btw this is the original perl version

How To Allow CARRIAGE RETURN And BACKSPACE?

May 22, 2007

This JS limits the input characters into the form. How do I modify it
so that it also allows CARRIAGE RETURN and BACKSPACE (for making text
correction)?

Due to the template engine I am using, I cannot use IF/ELSE statement.

<form>

<textarea name="event_description" ONKEYPRESS="if (document.layers)
var c = event.which;
else if (document.all)
var c = event.keyCode;
else
var c = event.charCode;
var s = String.fromCharCode(c);
return /[0-9a-zA-Zs,.?!@#$%&*()-]/.test(s);"></
textarea>
</form>

How To Disable Backspace For Text

Jul 16, 2010

<script language="javascript">
function disableback(evt) {
if (evt.keyCode == 8 || evt.which == 8) {
return false; /*have also tried return (evt.keyCode != 8) and evt.which == 46 and the variations*/
}}
</script>
<input type="text" onkeydown="disableback(event)" onkeypress="disableback(event)">
I am doing my testing on Firefox. From posts this should work to stop from the page going back yet no dice. I currently have the text area in a frame and have it reload keeping all text in a variable, it just seems awful sloppy.
This may work on IE, have yet to test. Just trying for FF atm.

Disable Backspace On Form Pages

May 6, 2004

I've been getting some complaints from my users: when filling out forms, while on a select box, pressing the backspace key would actually mimick pressing the back button (like history.go(-1) ...)

Then I realized that if the user wasn't in a textbox or a textarea, pressing the backspace key would send them back one page. Now I've got a multi-page form in an iFrame and that's really screwing their inputs up as it loses all the information entered in that form (pressing back doesn't submit/post backwards... I wish it would!).

So anyway, here's the script I'm using on all my pages so that the user won't 'accidentally' go back a page. (In my opinion, with my users anyway, a user shouldn't need to hit the backspace unless they're in a textbox or a textarea).


//so backspace doesn't go back
document.onkeydown = checkForBackspace;
function checkForBackspace() {
//we can backspace in a textbox
if(window.event.srcElement.type.match("text")) {
return true;
}

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 8) {
// try to cancel the backspace
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
window.event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}
}

This is IE only. srcElement is an IE thing.. I believe most other browsers use target. I don't know what else would be different, but anyway, that's what I'm using.

BTW: If you're wondering why anyone would press backspace in a selectbox, well I recently showed them that you can press the first letter of an item in the list to quickly jump to that item. Well, perhaps naturally, if they press the wrong key, instead of pressing the right key, they try to hit backspace first. Just if you were curious... I guess checkboxes and radios could be similar?
