how to filter period (full stop) but not DELETE

[jaschulz]

I want to filter the period character (.) but I want to allow the use of the DELETE key. However, so far as I can see, they yield the same key code. I am using:

function filterKeys(evt) {
var event=(evt)?evt:window.event;
var thisKeyCode=(event.keyCode)?event.keyCode:event.which;
...

Can anyone show me how to block the period but allow the DELETE key?

Thanks,

JAS

What event are you using to call the filterKeys function? I've found that onkeyup / onkeydown, and onkeypress will give different codes for some keys.

Try one of the others for size.

Hope this helps,
