I have this code to filter a form field on a mobile device so that only numeric phone numbers are allowed:

$( document ).on( "keypress", ".numeric_only", function(e) {
  if (e.which != 8 && e.which != 0 && (e.which < 48 || e.which > 57)) {
             return false;
  }
});

The problem is, even with this it still allows people to enter characters like - or . especially on Android ..even if I allow only the numerical tel keyboard.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Did you try `e.preventDefault()` instead of return false? – Nir Tzezana Oct 08 '17 at 08:08
