How to allow user to enter only the letters, no numbers and other characters



I want to implement TexBox where user can input only letters. When user enter numbers or invalid characters, near TextBox must appear Error message. Like this:





enter image description here

  1. You can use Character.isLetter(char) on TextBox's KeyUpHandler:

    textBox.addKeyUpHandler(new KeyUpHandler() {
    public void onKeyUp(KeyUpEvent event) {
    if (!Character.isLetter(event.getNativeKeyCode())) {
    ((TextBox)event.getSource()).cancelKey();
    customPopup.showRelativeTo(textBox);// your styled PopupPanel
    }
    }
    });


    But, Character.isLetter(char) works with ASCII, if you want more see you can do it something like that:

    /**
    * A better implementation of isLetter -- the default GWT version doesn't support non-English characters.
    *
    * @param c the character to check
    * @return whether the character represents and alphabetic symbol.
    */
    public static boolean isLetter(char c) {
    int val = (int) c;

    return inRange(val, 65, 90) || inRange(val, 97, 122) || inRange(val, 192, 687) || inRange(val, 900, 1159) ||
    inRange(val, 1162, 1315) || inRange(val, 1329, 1366) || inRange(val, 1377, 1415) || inRange(val, 1425, 1610);
    }

    /**
    * Checks if an int value is in a range.
    * @param value value to check
    * @param min min value
    * @param max max value
    * @return whether value is in the range, inclusively.
    */
    public static boolean inRange(int value, int min, int max) {
    return (value <= max) & (value >= min);
    }

  2. You can write some validation code on keyTyped event to check, what was the last letter typed. Was it a number or not. If not then show error message.

    Try considering KeyLister method : keyTyped()

  3. Javascript to allow Alphabetical characters

    function AllowAlphabet(e)
    {

    keyEntry = !isIE ? e.which : event.keyCode;
    if (((keyEntry >= '65') && (keyEntry <= '90')) || ((keyEntry >= '97') && (keyEntry <=
    '122')) || (keyEntry == '46') || (keyEntry == '32') || keyEntry == '45')
    return true;
    }

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
