Question

I’m trying to set function onFocusOut event with jQuery like:

$(':number').keypress(function (evt){
    //validating cone
}

but it can’t select number types throwing an error

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: number

Same code for type text works fine.

Does jQuery not know a number datatype? How to make it work?

Answer 1

Are you trying to select <input> elements with the number as the type? Try this:

$('input[type="number"]').keypress(function (evt){

}
