Re: Nueric pad keys

Hello, Davide!

Here is the code:
-----------------------
<html>
<head>
<script language="javas cript">
function CheckStr()
{
var f = document.myform .myedit.value;
re=RegExp('[.]','gi');
f=f.replace(re, ',');
document.myform .myedit.value=f ;
}

</script>
<body>
<form action="" name="myform">
<input type="text" name="myedit" onkeyup="CheckS tr();">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
-----------------

Did it help you?

Kindest Regards,

Re: Nueric pad keys

Thank you Olexiy,
it works fine, but if I use the "period" key that is not on the numeric pad,
the script write a comma.
Do you know if it's possible to write a comma ONLY by pressing the period
key on the numeric pad?

(I can use Microsoft Internet Explorer specific features, because this is an
intranet application used only with Internet Explorer)

Thanks,
Davide.

Re: Nueric pad keys

Sorry but I don't understand what is this 'period key'. If you mean comma
that is up
the spacebar, it work ok for me...

This code replaces commas after pressing the key so if you know undesired
symbol code
you can easily replace it by point '.' or with empty space ''

In the US they say [for unknown reasons] "period" for "point",
both meaning the "." character, Olexiy.

So the "Period key" on the numeric pad is
between the "0" and the "enter" on a US keyboard.

Yes, also on an italian keyboard.
But in Italy the "decimal point symbol" is not a point (".") but a comma
(",").
So, if in the USA people wrotes 1,000.50 (one thousand and 50 pennies), in
Italy we usually wrote 1.000,50.
Some programs (like italian version of Microsoft Access for example) write a
comma when you press the "decimal point" of the numeric pad, but Internet
Explorer doesn't do this (and I want to do this in my web application).

Then it is not a "decimal point" but a "decimal comma" ;-)

<input
onkeydown="if(e vent.keyCode==1 10){this.value+ =',';return false}"
style="font-size:30pt;">

This only works if the cursor is on the far right !!!

=============== ======

<input
onkeydown="this .value=this.val ue.replace(/\./g,',')"
onblur="this.va lue=this.value. replace(/\./g,',')"
style="font-size:30pt;">

This works for all points, but on the next key or blur.

=============== =======

Please warn your users beforehand !!!

Great! It works
Any Idea when the cursor is not on the far right?

Actually, USA: 1,000.50 (one thousand and 50 pennies)
Italy: 1.000.000,50 (one million lira and a half)

Or roughly that much. I didn't check the latest conversion rate. ;-)

You heavily miss the point [or the comma], Steve:

Actually:

USA: 1,000.50

Italy: 1.128,36 (rate of 2 minutes ago)
