I have made a calculation app in AppJs.
Basicly it is a bunch of:
<input type=number>
fields.
To make it more user friendly i thought i should replace All commas with dots, so that javascript can use the actual values to calculate.
I've tried doing this with this following pice of code:
$("input[type=number]").keyup(function(e){
var key = e.which ? e.which : event.keyCode;
if(key == 110 || key == 188){
e.preventDefault();
var value = $(this).val();
$(this).val(value.replace(",","."));
}
});
In explorer 9, this works as expected: see fiddle
But since App.js uses chromium i guess this is a something thats happens in chromium. How can I work around this?
This is what happens in my app: When you enter a number containing a comma char. The comma char is moved to the right and when the input box loses focus, the comma is removed (Probably since the comma char isn't allowed in type=number)
When you get the value of an <input type=number> but it isn't valid, then a blank string is returned. You could check this by doing this:
$("input[type=number]").keyup(function(e){
var key = e.which ? e.which : event.keyCode;
if(key == 110 || key == 188){
e.preventDefault();
var value = $(this).val();
console.log(value === "");
$(this).val(value.replace(",","."));
}
});
It will print true every time. Therefore, you need to
Since, on the keyup event, the input has already changed, you must change it to a keydown or keypress event.
Change value.replace(",", ".") to value + "." (since there will be no ",").
Finished code:
$("input[type=number]").keydown(function (e) {
var key = e.which ? e.which : event.keyCode;
if (key == 110 || key == 188) {
e.preventDefault();
var value = $(this).val();
console.log(value);
$(this).val(value + ".");
}
});
A better idea might be to make it <input type=text> and validate manually if you really need this feature.
