Hi...

i have an edit box that must take only integers...
Is it possible to do it useing javascript???

currently when a user types anything that is not an integer and click on the submit button it displays a message saying that must type only integers... but i dont want to do it that way, i want to not allow the user to enter letters... or even when the user stop typing letters the edit box will display an error message...? is that possible

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

I personally don't like disabling the user's keyboard...but it can be done.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="javascript">
function checkNum(evt){
var chCode = (evt.which)?evt.which:evt.keyCode;
if (document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if ((evt.charCode>34 && evt.charCode<41) || evt.charCode==46) return false;
if ((chCode>34 && chCode<41) || chCode==46) return true;
}
if(chCode>31 && (chCode<48 || chCode>57)){
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form><input type="text" name="textfield" onKeyPress="return checkNum(event);"></form>
</body>
</html>
