Question

I want to restrict user to enter only characters in a html text box. I am using the following code

 $('.alphaonly').live("input", function () {
     $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^A-Za-zÀ-ÿ ]/g, ''));
 });

and this works fine in IE9, but fails in IE8.

Can anyone help me fixing ?

Is much easier to use a plugin I mean:

$('#text_input').filter_input({regex:'[a-z]'});
