A function like that would look something like:
function validateNumber(n) {
var ok = n >= 1 && n <= 17;
if (!ok) alert('The value is not valid. Values from 1 to 17 are allowed.');
return ok;
}
You can call it, and you get the status back if you want to use it for something:
if (validateNumber(x)) {
// the number was valid
} else {
// the number wasn't valid
}
