<input name=lorem onkeyup=this.value=this.value.replace(/[^a-z]/g,'');>

And can be the same to onblur for evil user who like to paste instead of typing ;)

[+] Pretty jQuery code:

<input name=lorem class=alphaonly>

<script type=text/javascript>

$('.alphaonly').bind('keyup blur',function(){ 

    var node = $(this);

    node.val(node.val().replace(/[^a-z]/g,'') ); }

);

</script>
