Question

I want my textbox to have only floating point value, and filter out any symbols and alphabetical letters, the nearest solution i found is:

jQuery(".sow-items .discovery_repeat input.hours").live("keyup", function(e) {       
    $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^\d]/, ''));       
});

but it also filters out decimal point. how to exclude decimal from the above filter or any new suggestions?

Answer 1

Try this:

jQuery(".sow-items .discovery_repeat input.hours").live("keyup", function(e) {       
    $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^\d.]/g, ''));       
});
