Please don't suggest validation method

Answer 1

This solution allows all keyboard functionality including copy paste with keyboard. It prevents pasting of negative numbers with the mouse. It works with all browsers and the demo on codepen uses bootstrap and jQuery. This should work with non english language settings and keyboards. If the browser doesn't support the paste event capture (IE), it will remove the negative sign after focus out. This solution behaves as the native browser should with min=0 type=number.

Markup:

<form>
  <input class="form-control positive-numeric-only" id="id-blah1" min="0" name="nm1" type="number" value="0" />
  <input class="form-control positive-numeric-only" id="id-blah2" min="0" name="nm2" type="number" value="0" />
</form>

Javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("input.positive-numeric-only").on("keydown", function(e) {
    var char = e.originalEvent.key.replace(/[^0-9^.^,]/, "");
    if (char.length == 0 && !(e.originalEvent.ctrlKey || e.originalEvent.metaKey)) {
      e.preventDefault();
    }
  });

  $("input.positive-numeric-only").bind("paste", function(e) {
    var numbers = e.originalEvent.clipboardData
      .getData("text")
      .replace(/[^0-9^.^,]/g, "");
    e.preventDefault();
    var the_val = parseFloat(numbers);
    if (the_val > 0) {
      $(this).val(the_val.toFixed(2));
    }
  });

  $("input.positive-numeric-only").focusout(function(e) {
    if (!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length != 0) {
      this.value = Math.abs(parseFloat(this.value)).toFixed(2);
    } else {
      this.value = 0;
    }
  });
});
