Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

I need to replace the point (.) character pressed by user with comma (,) character, similar Excel feature. I manage the keyPress event and I change event.charCode from 46 to 44. It doesn't work on Firefox.

Have you any suggestion? Thank you.
