Having problems with dFilter suddenly in my asp pages

[alkemyst]

Customers are reporting that on fields I am using dFilter on it's doubling all text input so something like 05/05/1963 becomes 00/55/0055 when input.

We haven't been able to duplicate it and it's really not our place to cold call customers to get them to help troubleshoot. Some I have emailed have replied they are using IE, but they aren't sure about the version (telling them to use help and let me know has gotten no where).

The dFilter code tells you to use the OnKeyDown event, but I found this doesn't work with the numeric keypad (it puts in letters). I used OnKeyPress and it was working fine for over 2 years up until 6-8 months ago.

It has never worked in Firefox properly.

The call is:

<input TYPE="text" NAME="bDOB" VALUE="<%= mybDOB %>" onKeyPress="javascript:return dFilter (event.keyCode, this, '##/##/####');">

The dFilter code is:

// [dFilter] - A Numerical Input Mask for JavaScript
// Written By Dwayne Forehand - March 27th, 2003
// Please reuse & redistribute while keeping this notice.

var dFilterStep;

function dFilterStrip (dFilterTemp, dFilterMask)
{
dFilterMask = replace(dFilterMask,'#','');
for (dFilterStep = 0; dFilterStep < dFilterMask.length++; dFilterStep++)
{
dFilterTemp = replace(dFilterTemp,dFilterMask.substring(dFilterStep,dFilterStep+1),'');
}
return dFilterTemp;
}

function dFilterMax (dFilterMask)
{
dFilterTemp = dFilterMask;
for (dFilterStep = 0; dFilterStep < (dFilterMask.length+1); dFilterStep++)
{
if (dFilterMask.charAt(dFilterStep)!='#')
{
dFilterTemp = replace(dFilterTemp,dFilterMask.charAt(dFilterStep),'');
}
}
return dFilterTemp.length;
}

function dFilter (key, textbox, dFilterMask)
{
dFilterNum = dFilterStrip(textbox.value, dFilterMask);

if (key==9)
{
return true;
}
else if (key==8&&dFilterNum.length!=0)
{
dFilterNum = dFilterNum.substring(0,dFilterNum.length-1);
}
else if ( ((key>47&&key<58)||(key>95&&key<106)) && dFilterNum.length<dFilterMax(dFilterMask) )
{
dFilterNum=dFilterNum+String.fromCharCode(key);
}

var dFilterFinal='';
for (dFilterStep = 0; dFilterStep < dFilterMask.length; dFilterStep++)
{
if (dFilterMask.charAt(dFilterStep)=='#')
{
if (dFilterNum.length!=0)
{
dFilterFinal = dFilterFinal + dFilterNum.charAt(0);
dFilterNum = dFilterNum.substring(1,dFilterNum.length);
}
else
{
dFilterFinal = dFilterFinal + "";
}
}
else if (dFilterMask.charAt(dFilterStep)!='#')
{
dFilterFinal = dFilterFinal + dFilterMask.charAt(dFilterStep);
}
// dFilterTemp = replace(dFilterTemp,dFilterMask.substring(dFilterStep,dFilterStep+1),'');
}


textbox.value = dFilterFinal;
return false;
}

function replace(fullString,text,by) {
// Replaces text with by in string
var strLength = fullString.length, txtLength = text.length;
if ((strLength == 0) || (txtLength == 0)) return fullString;

var i = fullString.indexOf(text);
if ((!i) && (text != fullString.substring(0,txtLength))) return fullString;
if (i == -1) return fullString;

var newstr = fullString.substring(0,i) + by;

if (i+txtLength < strLength)
newstr += replace(fullString.substring(i+txtLength,strLength),text,by);

return newstr;
}

Thanks!
