The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
jQuery AlphaNumeric
Did you ever found a need where you want to prevent your user from entering certain characters?
Looking at the plugins available at jQuery, i found a great plugin by Sam Collet called Numeric.
But it was too limited, what if I'm asking the user to create a username? or to enter a number with decimals or an IP Address? There is another great plugin called Masked Input by Josh Bush, which can also control user input by defining a mask. but the problem was the length of text to be input must be defined as well. Again, what if I needed to control input of a username? I can't tell how many characters the user will be using, and I can't force him to use just 8 characters ,so I created AlphaNumeric.
jQuery AlphaNumeric is a javascript control plugin that allows you to limit what characters a user can enter on textboxes or textareas. Have fun.
