How to validate Special Character in javascript?

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="address" id="address" value="<?php echo set_value('address'); ?>" placeholder=" Enter Address"
onkeypress="return IsAlphaNumeric(event);" ondrop="return false;" onpaste="return false;"
/>
<span id="error" style="color: Red; display: none">* Special Characters not allowed.</span>
<span class="required" id="address_errr" aria-required="true"></span>
<span class="error"><?php echo form_error('address'); ?></span>

<script type="text/javascript">
// special characters not allowed.
var specialKeys = new Array();
specialKeys.push(8); //Backspace
specialKeys.push(9); //Tab
specialKeys.push(46); //Delete
specialKeys.push(36); //Home
specialKeys.push(35); //End
specialKeys.push(37); //Left
specialKeys.push(39); //Right

function IsAlphaNumeric(e) {
/* var keyCode = e.keyCode == 0 ? e.charCode : e.keyCode;
var ret = ((keyCode >= 48 && keyCode <= 57) || (keyCode >= 65 && keyCode <= 90) || (keyCode >= 97 && keyCode <= 122) || (specialKeys.indexOf(e.keyCode) != -1 &&charCode != e.keyCode));
document.getElementById("error").style.display = ret ? "none" : "inline";
return ret;
*/

var k;
document.all ? k = e.keyCode : k = e.which;
var ret = ((k > 64 && k < 91) || (k > 96 && k < 123) || k == 8 || k == 32 || (k >= 48 && k <= 57));
document.getElementById("error").style.display = ret ? "none" : "inline";
return ret;
