jQuery - Change background of input field if text getting replaced
- by ywickham
I'm currently using jQuery to restrict a text box to number only input as follows:
$('input.numbersOnly').keyup(function () {
this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\.]/g,'');
});
I'd like to let the user know that what they are typing is being rejected by changing the background color of the field. I know that I can change the background of a field using something like this:
$('input.numbersOnly').addClass('alertClass');
My question is, how do I combine the two code examples above so that the color of the field changes as the character is getting replaced? My goal is to alert the user that something is wrong with their input as they type it in the field.
Thanks!
