How can I change this so that the input only allows the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 while typing, without using a regular expression?

Assuming you also want to accept spaces:
$("#user").keypress(function(event){
var ew = event.which;
if(ew == 32)
return true;
if(48 <= ew && ew <= 57)
return true;
if(65 <= ew && ew <= 90)
return true;
if(97 <= ew && ew <= 122)
return true;
return false;
});
If you don't want to accept spaces then remove the if(ew == 32) return true;
JSFiddle
<input type="text" id="firstName" onkeypress="return (event.charCode >= 65 && event.charCode <= 90) || (event.charCode >= 97 && event.charCode <= 122) || (event.charCode >= 48 && event.charCode <= 57)" />

You can do something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/DveuB/1/
Then it's only 0-9, a-z and A-Z
$(function(){
$("#user").keypress(function(event){
if ((event.charCode >= 48 && event.charCode <= 57) || // 0-9
(event.charCode >= 65 && event.charCode <= 90) || // A-Z
(event.charCode >= 97 && event.charCode <= 122)) // a-z
alert("0-9, a-z or A-Z");
});
});
Update: http://jsfiddle.net/DveuB/4/
To prevent what @mu is talking about:
$("#user").keyup(function(event){
if (event.altKey == false && event.ctrlKey == false)
if ((event.keyCode >= 48 && event.keyCode <= 57 && event.shiftKey== false) ||
(event.keyCode >= 65 && event.keyCode <= 90) ||
(event.keyCode >= 97 && event.keyCode <= 122))
alert("0-9, a-z or A-Z");
});

$(document).ready(function () {
$('.clsAlphaNoOnly').keypress(function (e) { // Accept only alpha numerics, no special characters
var regex = new RegExp("^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+$");
var str = String.fromCharCode(!e.charCode ? e.which : e.charCode);
if (regex.test(str)) {
return true;

e.preventDefault();

Think you have to write some if statements or something like that, that takes the keycode and validates it against some numbers that represent other keycodes:
for example:
if(keycode < 80)
return false;
I'm using this function.
By modifying RegExp you can get rid of any characters you don't like personally.
$(function(){
$("#user").bind('keypress',function(e){
var regex = new RegExp("^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+$");
var str = String.fromCharCode(!e.charCode ? e.which : e.charCode);
if (regex.test(str)) return true;
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
});
