Question

$('.licensetable :text').live('keydown', function (event) {
    if ((event.keyCode < 48 || event.keyCode > 57) && (event.keyCode < 96 || event.keyCode > 105) && (event.keyCode != 8)) {
        event.preventDefault();
    }
});

I only allow numbers. This works. But if i log

$(this).val().length

Its obviously “one step after”. If i bind the keyup event, i get the correct number. But then i cant disable the keypress event. My goal is to disable the input after a certain amount of numbers has been entered. Hope you get the idea. Thanks

You can simply set the attribute maxlength='X' on the input field.

See it in action.
