Is there any simple way I can use to prevent user from accepting numeric values in html textbox? I've encountered some features of HTML5 like type=email etc...

Now is there any feature for accepting only character values?

I would do like that with jQuery :

JQuery

$(#only-text).on('keyup', function(e) {

    var val = $(this).val();

   if (val.match(/[^a-zA-Z]/g)) {

       $(this).val(val.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, ''));

   }

});

See the working fiddle.
