Hi All,

How to disable Comma key press in a aspx page using java script?

Thanks

http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/javascriptkey.shtml might help, though it seems Windows Opera8+ returns keycode number 44 for the comma key on my computer while IE6 and Firefox return number 188. Don't know if other OSs are different. Then there's the comma key on the num pad.

And you must still check the submitted data in the server-side script, in case the user has disabled javascript in the browser.

And of course, there are other ways to input a comma character.

Strictly, you can't "disable" any key. If you told us what you are really trying to do, you might get a better answer...
