Here is my solution(It also validates data/values copy&pasted):
function InputValidator(input, validationType, validChars) {
if (input === null || input.nodeType !== 1 || input.type !== 'text' && input.type !== 'number')
throw ('Please specify a valid input');
if (!(InputValidator.ValidationType.hasOwnProperty(validationType) || validationType))
throw 'Please specify a valid Validation type';
input.InputValidator = this;
input.InputValidator.ValidCodes = [];
input.InputValidator.ValidCodes.Add = function (item) {
this[this.length] = item;
};
input.InputValidator.ValidCodes.hasValue = function (value, target) {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
if (typeof (target) === 'undefined') {
if (this[i] === value)
return true;
}
else {
if (this[i][target] === value)
return true;
}
}
return false;
};

}
})(['Numeric', 'Custom', 'Decimal']);
To apply it to an input, do the following :
new InputValidator(document.getElementById('txtValidate'), InputValidator.ValidationType.Decimal);/* Numeric or Custom */
If you specify Custom as the validation type you have to specify the valid characters.
eg :
new InputValidator(document.getElementById('txtValidate'), InputValidator.ValidationType.Custom,'1234abc');
