keycode to disable the shift key??

[WB786]

I have all of the keys disabled except for the number keys and period. But the user is able to hold down the shift key and type a % symbol, etc. I don't want any other characters in this field except for numbers and a period.

I am using event.keycode to check for non numeric keys and then disabling them. I am calling the even using OnKeyDown.

What do I need to add to this function in javascript to disable both of the shift keys.

Thanks,

WB

Some of the symbols such as % are considered numeric. I would check the ASCII Code to see if the values are between 48 and 57 or 46 for the period.

Hope this helps.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

You could also just check if the string (or the last character) contains any illegal characters and if so truncate it.
