Numbers Only Function

I am looking for a function that will only allow the following characters in every textbox in my form:

0-9, decimal point and commas.

The form in question is a calculated worksheet so all values must be numeric. Is there a generic function that I could run onload or something that will only allow the characters above in the textboxes?

@CharlesSep 08.2006 — It won't allow for commas but this is close:if (document.getElementsByTagName) onload = function () {
var e, i = 0
while (e = document.getElementsByTagName ('INPUT')[i++]) {
if (e.type == 'text') e.onchange = function () {
if (isNaN (this.value)) {
alert ('Numbers only, please')
this.value = ''
this.focus()
}
}
}
}
