$('#file_lists').append('<div class="custom_text"><input type="text" onkeyup="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^1-9]/g,\'\');" name="custom_time" id="' + rands + '" value="1"></div>').after($("#final_result")); — Rayon

Note the difference: you have '' in the middle of the string literal specified with single (') quotes. The parser thinks the string ends there and another begins. You need to escape those characters like Rayon did: \'. — szym

Escape the single quotes in the replace function (.replace(/[^1-9]/g,\'\')) '' => \'\':

$('#file_lists')
 .append('<div class="custom_text"><input type="text" onkeyup="this.value=this.value.replace(/[^1-9]/g,\'\');" name="custom_time" id="'+rands+'" value="1"></div>')
 .after($("#final_result"));
