Replacing characters using jQuery

Question

I'm trying to remove commas from all of my textboxes on keyup. I came up with the script below but it's not working. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

<script>
    $("input[type='text']").keyup
    (
        function () 
        {
            alert('1');
            $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[,]/g, ""));
        }
    );
</script>

NOTE: please excuse the $ in Script. SO won't let me post it otherwise...

Answer 1

You might want to wrap that whole chunk of code in a document ready function

$(function() {
  $("input:text").keyup(function() {
        $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[,]/g, ""));
  });
});

You can read all about this on the jQuery documentation site.
