I have this code:

C++

C#

$('#textName').keypress(function (e) {
        var regex = new RegExp("^[a-zA-Z]+$");
        var str = String.fromCharCode(!e.charCode ? e.which : e.charCode);
        if (regex.test(str)) {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
        e.preventDefault();
        alert('Please Enter Alphabate');
        return false;
        }
    });

Solution 2

you have id called txtName

HTML

<input type="text" name="name" id="txtName"></input>

so change

C#

$('#textName').keypress(function (e) {

to

C#

$('#txtName').keypress(function (e) {

And also use the Regex expression as /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/
