i'm new to javascript.So i had a doubt
for the following code, how to change the function by alerting the users when a number or special character is pressed?
function onlyAlphabets(e, t) {
try {
if (window.event) {
var charCode = window.event.keyCode;
} else if (e) {
var charCode = e.which;
} else {
return true;
}
if ((charCode > 64 && charCode < 91) || (charCode > 96 && charCode < 123))
return true;
else
return false;
} catch (err) {
alert(err.Description);
}
}
i think Answer to your question is alredy availble in stackoverflow
Few Extracts from the above link: I have updated the fiddle here you can type any chracters and get the required alert.
$(function() {
var $kp = $('#keyPress');
var $kd = $('#keyDown');
var $ku = $('#keyUp');
var _to_ascii = {
'188': '44',
'109': '45',
'190': '46',
'191': '47',
'192': '96',
'220': '92',
'222': '39',
'221': '93',
'219': '91',
'173': '45',
'187': '61', //IE Key codes
'186': '59', //IE Key codes
'189': '45' //IE Key codes
}
var shiftUps = {
"96": "~",
"49": "!",
"50": "@",
"51": "#",
"52": "$",
"53": "%",
"54": "^",
"55": "&",
"56": "*",
"57": "(",
"48": ")",
"45": "_",
"61": "+",
"91": "{",
"93": "}",
"92": "|",
"59": ":",
"39": "\"",
"44": "<",
"46": ">",
"47": "?"
};
$(document).on('keydown', function(e) {
var c = e.which;
if (_to_ascii.hasOwnProperty(c)) {
c = _to_ascii[c];
}
//for Chracters
if (!e.shiftKey && (c >= 65 && c <= 90)) {
c = String.fromCharCode(c + 32);
alert("chracters");
} else if (e.shiftKey && shiftUps.hasOwnProperty(c)) {
c = shiftUps[c];
alert("Special chracters");
} else {
c = String.fromCharCode(c);
alert("Numbers");
}
$kd.val(c);
}).on('keypress', function(e) {
$kp.val(String.fromCharCode(e.which));
});
});
