To restrict input to allow only numbers and decimal point in a textbox with JavaScript, we can call the string match method to validate the input value. form. onsubmit = () => { return textarea. value.
The standard solution to restrict a user to enter only numeric values is to use <input> elements of type number. It has built-in validation to reject non-numerical values.
Use JavaScript for validation input or use step=". 01" , which allows up to two decimal places on keypress input.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=Javascript>
<!--
function isNumberKey(evt)
{
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if (charCode != 46 && charCode > 31
&& (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
return false;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<INPUT id="txtChar" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)"
type="text" name="txtChar">
</BODY>
</HTML>This really works!
The accepted solution is not complete, since you can enter multiple '.', for example 24....22..22. with some small modifications it will work as intended:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function isNumberKey(txt, evt) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
if (charCode == 46) {
//Check if the text already contains the . character
if (txt.value.indexOf('.') === -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} else {
if (charCode > 31 &&
(charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(this, event);" />
</body>
</html>form.onsubmit = function(){
return textarea.value.match(/^\d+(\.\d+)?$/);
}
Is this what you're looking for?
I hope it helps.
EDIT: I edited my example above so that there can only be one period, preceded by at least one digit and followed by at least one digit.
Here is one more solution which allows for decimal numbers and also limits the digits after decimal to 2 decimal places.
function isNumberKey(evt, element) {
var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : event.keyCode
if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57) && !(charCode == 46 || charCode == 8))
return false;
else {
var len = $(element).val().length;
var index = $(element).val().indexOf('.');
if (index > 0 && charCode == 46) {
return false;
}
if (index > 0) {
var CharAfterdot = (len + 1) - index;
if (CharAfterdot > 3) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
