I have the following script, which blocks all typing in an input, forcing the user to use DatePicker made available:
$(".readonly").keydown(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
In this same script, is there any way I can only allow the delete ?
Yes, you can do it as follows
$(".readonly").keydown(function(e){
if( e.keyCode !== 46 ){ // 46 é tecla delete
e.preventDefault();
}
});
The code for the delete key is 46. You will only run e.preventDefault(); if it is different from delete . Every event in Jquery is given a parameter, in this case e , in it you can access the keycode of the .keydown event, so just check with the value of the delete key.
$(".readonly").keydown(function(e){
if(e.keyCode != 46 ){
e.preventDefault();
}
});
