If you want to check if the user has entered a number or not, you could use isNaN
:
function foo() {
var a = document.getElementById("inputField").value;
if (isNaN(a))
{
alert("Must input numbers");
}
else
{
alert("its a number");
}
}
where inputField is the ID of your input field. Of course you can use
if (isNaN(a))
{
alert("Must input numbers");
}
else
{
alert("its a number");
}
in any context, you don’t have to place it in an apart function like I did here.
