Is is possible (cross-browser compatible) to CANCEL a keystroke after a user has made it (for example on a textbox)

The code I currently use edits the textbox value after the keystroke has been displayed:

$('.number').keypress(function() {
    this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\.]/g, '');
});
