Restrict Numbers And Special Characters In Visualforce Page Input Field

Sample Code:

<apex:page standardController="Lead" docType="html-5.0">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageBlock>
            <apex:pageBlockSection>
                <apex:inputField id="firstname" value="{!Lead.FirstName}" onkeypress="return (event.charCode > 64 && event.charCode < 91) || (event.charCode > 96 && event.charCode < 123)" />
                <apex:inputField id="lastname" value="{!Lead.LastName}" onkeypress="return (event.charCode > 64 && event.charCode < 91) || (event.charCode > 96 && event.charCode < 123)" />
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Invoke Visualforce Page Javascript Method From Lightning Component

Lightning Component:

<!--SampleComponent.cmp--> 
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable" access="global">
    <!--Declare Attributes-->
    <aura:attribute name="vfMsgMethod" type="object" description="this attribute is for visualforce page javascript method"/>
    
    <!--Component Start--> 
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <lightning:button variant="Brand" class="slds-button" label="Submit" onclick="{!c.doAction}"/>
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

Lightning Controller:

({
    doAction : function(component, event, helper) {
        var msg = 'Welcome to Salesforce Ohana';
        var msgMethod = component.get("v.vfMsgMethod");
        msgMethod(msg, function(){
            //handle callback
        });
    }
})

Lightning App:

<!--SampleApp.app--> 
<aura:application extends="ltng:outApp" access="global">
    <!--Lightning component-->
    <aura:dependency resource="c:SampleComponent"/>
</aura:application>

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
    <apex:includeLightning />
    <!--Lightning Container-->
    <div style="width:100%;height:100px;" id="LightningContainer"/>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //Create Lightning Component
    $Lightning.use("c:SampleApp", function() {
        $Lightning.createComponent("c:SampleComponent", { 
            vfMsgMethod : getMessage, //Method to call from lightning component
        },"LightningContainer", function(component) {
            console.log('Component created');
        });
    });
    
    //Function to call from Lightning Component
    function getMessage(welcomeMsg){
        alert(welcomeMsg);
    }
    </script>
</apex:page>

Output:

Invoke Lightning Component Methods From Visualforce Page

We can use aura:method to invoke lightning controller methods from visualforce page. The below example is to call Lightning Component methods from visualforce page.

Lightning Component:

<!--SampleComponent.cmp--> 
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable" access="global">
    <!--Aura Method-->
    <aura:method name="welcomeMsgMethod" action="{!c.doAction}" access="global"> 
        <aura:attribute name="message" type="Object" /> 
        <aura:attribute name="name" type="String"/> 
    </aura:method>
    
    <!--Declare Attributes-->
    <aura:attribute name="msg" type="String"/>
    
    <!--Component Start--> 
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <!--Print Welcome Message--> 
        {!v.msg}
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

Lightning Controller:

({
    doAction : function(component, event, helper) {
        //Get Parameters
        var params = event.getParam('arguments');
        if (params) {
            //Get Welcome message parameter
            var msg = params.message.message;
            var developerGroup = params.message.developerGroup;
            //Get name parameter
            var name = params.name;
            //Set welcome message and name
            component.set("v.msg", name + ' ' + msg + ' ' + developerGroup);
        }
    }
})

Lightning App:

<!--SampleApp.app--> 
<aura:application extends="ltng:outApp" access="global">
    <!--Lightning component-->
    <aura:dependency resource="c:SampleComponent"/>
</aura:application>

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page>
    <apex:includeLightning />
    <!--Lightning Container-->
    <div style="width:100%;height:100px;" id="LightningContainer" />
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var component; //Variable for Lightning Out Component
    //Create Lightning Component
    $Lightning.use("c:SampleApp", function() {
        $Lightning.createComponent("c:SampleComponent", { },
                                   "LightningContainer",
                                   function(cmp) {
                                       component = cmp;
                                       console.log('Component created');
                                   });
    });
    
    //Method to call Lightning Component Method
    var getWelcomeMessage = function(){
        component.welcomeMsgMethod({message : "Welcome to Salesforce Ohana", developerGroup: "Bengaluru"}, "Biswajeet Samal");
    }
    </script>
    
    <apex:form>
        <!--Button to call Javascript method-->
        <apex:commandButton value="Get Welcome Message" onclick="getWelcomeMessage();return false;"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
