jQuery Number Text Field Validation Using Regex
Below is the full example of how to validate number using regex
var pattern = new RegExp("(^(\-?)([0-9]{0,12}?)(\\.)([0-9]){0,12}$)|(^(\-?)([0-9]){0,12}$)"); $(document.body).on("keypress", "input[type='text'].number", function (e) { if (e.which == 0 || e.which == 8) return true; var v = getTextFieldValue(this, String.fromCharCode(e.which)); $("div").html(v); return pattern.test(v); }); document.addEventListener("paste", function (e) { var v, f = $(e.target), ov = f.val(); if (window.clipboardData && window.clipboardData.getData) { // IE v = window.clipboardData.getData('Text'); } else if (e.originalEvent && e.originalEvent.clipboardData && e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData) { v = e.originalEvent.clipboardData.getData('text/plain'); } else if (e.clipboardData && e.clipboardData.getData) { v = e.clipboardData.getData('text/plain'); } v = getTextFieldValue(f[0], v); if (!pattern.test(v)) e.preventDefault(); $("div").html(v); }); function getTextFieldValue(input, nv) { var v = input.value, i = input.selectionStart, j = input.selectionEnd; if (i == 0 && j == v.length) return nv; else if (i != j || i > 0) return v.substr(0, i) + nv + v.substr(j); else if (i == 0) return nv + v; else return v + nv; } $("input[type='text'].number").focus();
And finally you can use below regex to test your number:
^[-+]?(?:\.[0-9]{1,12}|[0-9]{1,12}(?:\.[0-9]{0,12})?)(?:[eE][-+]?[0-9]{1,12})?$
