0

I added this code in javascript snippet but its not working as expected. $('.mx-name-textArea5').keypress(function(event){ var ew = event.which; if(ew == 32) return true; if(48 <= ew && ew <= 57) return true; if(65 <= ew && ew <= 90) return true; if(97 <= ew && ew <= 122) return true; return false; }); Please suggest what to add/modify in it. Error: When I am entering any alphabet apart from english its also taking it.

Nothing wrong with the javascript. It returns true whenever you hit enter, 0-9, A-Z or a-z. False otherwise.

So describe the error behavior. What is it doing/not doing?

Try this, comparing with key directly using regex instead of keycode

var ew = event.key;
if( /[A-Za-z0-9 ]/.test(ew))
return true;
