How can I allow only numbers, one comma, and two digits after the comma in my input field? [duplicate]

Question

I have an input field, that only allows numbers and one point.

$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ((event.which != 46 || $this.val().indexOf('.') != -1) &&
       ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57) &&
       (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8))) {
           event.preventDefault();
    }

    var text = $(this).val();
    if ((event.which == 46) && (text.indexOf('.') == -1)) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            if ($this.val().substring($this.val().indexOf('.')).length > 3) {
                $this.val($this.val().substring(0, $this.val().indexOf('.') + 3));
            }
        }, 1);
    }

    if ((text.indexOf('.') != -1) &&
        (text.substring(text.indexOf('.')).length > 2) &&
        (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8) &&
        ($(this)[0].selectionStart >= text.length - 2)) {
            event.preventDefault();
    }      
});

.number {
    padding: 5px 10px;
    font-size: 16px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" class="number" />

I want to use this for currency so instead of the point I need to have a comma. So I replaced every point into the function with a comma. But it is not working.

$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ((event.which != 46 || $this.val().indexOf(',') != -1) &&
       ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57) &&
       (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8))) {
           event.preventDefault();
    }

    var text = $(this).val();
    if ((event.which == 46) && (text.indexOf(',') == -1)) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            if ($this.val().substring($this.val().indexOf(',')).length > 3) {
                $this.val($this.val().substring(0, $this.val().indexOf(',') + 3));
            }
        }, 1);
    }

    if ((text.indexOf(',') != -1) &&
        (text.substring(text.indexOf(',')).length > 2) &&
        (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8) &&
        ($(this)[0].selectionStart >= text.length - 2)) {
            event.preventDefault();
    }      
});

.number {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

You need to change 46 to 44, in order to allow commas instead of full stops...

$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    // this next line...
    if ((event.which != 44 || $this.val().indexOf(',') != -1) &&
       ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57) &&
       (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8))) {
           event.preventDefault();
    }

    var text = $(this).val();
    // this next line...
    if ((event.which == 44) && (text.indexOf(',') == -1)) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            if ($this.val().substring($this.val().indexOf(',')).length > 3) {
                $this.val($this.val().substring(0, $this.val().indexOf(',') + 3));
            }
        }, 1);
    }

    if ((text.indexOf(',') != -1) &&
        (text.substring(text.indexOf(',')).length > 2) &&
        (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8) &&
        ($(this)[0].selectionStart >= text.length - 2)) {
            event.preventDefault();
    }      
});

.number {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" class="number" />

The two lines I marked detect the user pressing the full stop key, and allows it (along with any numbers), but blocks everything else. 46 is the ASCII value for a full stop so it just needed changing to 44, which is the ASCII value for a comma.

You simply need to replace the number 46 (.), with 44(,);

$('.number').keypress(function(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ((event.which != 44 || $this.val().indexOf(',') != -1) &&
       ((event.which < 48 || event.which > 57) &&
       (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8))) {
           event.preventDefault();
    }

    var text = $(this).val();
    if ((event.which == 44) && (text.indexOf(',') == -1)) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            if ($this.val().substring($this.val().indexOf(',')).length > 3) {
                $this.val($this.val().substring(0, $this.val().indexOf(',') + 3));
            }
        }, 1);
    }

    if ((text.indexOf(',') != -1) &&
        (text.substring(text.indexOf(',')).length > 2) &&
        (event.which != 0 && event.which != 8) &&
        ($(this)[0].selectionStart >= text.length - 2)) {
            event.preventDefault();
    }      
});

.number {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  font-size: 16px;
}
