REGEX Remove Commas From Form Textfield
Just in case you ever wanted to remove commas from a form automatically, this is one way to do it. It uses the javascript “onblur†trick. So when ever the mouse leaves this field, it calls the piece of code.
Why would you ever want to remove commas from a form?

In this case the code is this:
onblur=”this.value=this.value.replace(/,/g,”)”
In action, it looks like this:
