Ok...so, I'm a couple days behind... [somewhat OT tidbit] !isNaN(null) will also return true since null is parsed as 0.
Now, if you're going to use a String search, might as well use something built-in that does just that. First advantage: shorter code and smaller files. Also, RegExp's usually (but, no always) parse faster than charAt loops. Javascript: function isInteger(value) { // accepts untrimmed strings return (/^\s*[0-9]+\s*$/).test(String(value)); } function findInteger(value) { return String(value).replace(/^[^0-9]*([0-9]*).*?$/, '$1'); } Tests: var i, j; var funcs = [isInteger, findInteger]; var input = ['12 ', '12sds', 'fhe34', 'a12.3b', '1abc2', 99, 2.4, null]; for (i = 0; i < funcs.length; i += 1) { for (j = 0; j < input.length; j += 1) { document.write(funcs[i](input[j]), '; '); } document.write('<br>'); } Output: true; false; false; false; false; true; false; false; 12; 12; 34; 12; 1; 99; 2; ; Usage: <input type="text" onblur="this.value=findInteger(this.value);" /><!-- silently strips invalid characters --> <span>(integers only)</span> function validate() { if (!isInteger(FormObject.input1.value)) { alert('Please enter an integer for ...'); } } - Jon L.
