I've created a few input fields, that I am cleaning up as the user types.
So, I'm using a keystroke detection event, like .keyup()
It's all working very well, but I do notice one thing that's rather annoying for the users.
While the script is cleaning the data as they type, their cursor is being sent to the end of the input field.
So, if you want to edit the middle of the value, you're cursor immediately goes to the end of the box.
Does anyone know of a way to maintain the cursor's current position inside the input field?
I'm not holding my breath, but I thought I'd ask.
Here's the cleanup code I'm using:
$(".pricing").keyup(function(){
// clean up anything non-numeric
**var itemprice = $("#itemprice").val().replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g, '');**
// return the cleaner value back to the input field
**$("#itemprice").val(itemprice);**
});
