Removing Commas from an input text field with Jquery

I am looking for a solution using Jquery that would mask / remove commas that are inserted into a input (numeric) text field in a form. I have done some research on my own and found a pluggin that does the job http://www.decorplanit.com/plugin/)... unfortunately my understanding of Jquery is limited.

Can someone help me complete the code attached or give me something that I can implement? I like the idea of using Jquery as it makes the change on the fly and is visual to the end user.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

	$.fn.autoNumeric.Strip(dollarvalue, {options} );

If by removing you mean don't allow :

Use :

$("#dollarvalue").autoNumeric();

Open in new window

Or :

$.fn.autoNumeric.Strip("#dollarvalue");

Yes, I would like to not allow commas to be entered.

Both of the suggestions did not work the second did some formatting for me by adding decimals .00 to the end but that is it... no commas were removed. On the site they mentioned under the strip section that the # signs are to be ommited (http://www.decorplanit.com/plugin/publicFunctions.htm)

Any other suggestions? My new code per your suggestion is attached

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.2.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="../../Scripts/AutoNumberic/jquery.metadata.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> //needed if changing defaults 
<script src="../../Scripts/AutoNumberic/autoNumeric-1.6.2.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<script src="../../Scripts/AutoNumberic/autoLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //I don't think the code here is legit
	 $(document).ready(function() {
		$("dollarvalue").autoNumeric(); 
 });
</script>

One other thought I added the $(document).ready(function() and put the other fucntion mentioned on the site in the middle... thinking this was proper. I don't know if it is or not I know that is states once the document is fully loaded do the function contained with in but it might be out of context.
