Hi, Here's a small problem that I'm facing. I have a form which has an integer field, say a cost of some item. Now, I need to do the validation for this form-field to make sure that the user does not enter a non-numeric data in this field. I have the form containing this field as a primitive int. The problem is that whenever a non-numberic value is entered the value is reset to zero. This leads to two problems, one it doesn't give me a chance to find out that the user has entered a non-numeric value in my validate method & secondly, I end up losing the value that the user had entered & hence can't show him the value back. The rather crude solution to this is to make the numeric form-field value a String & do the check in the validate() to find if a non-numeric value is entered. But I'm not happy with this solution as it requires me to decalre a field as string even when it should have been an int or float ...
Is there any other way around this prob? Thanx in advance, VD. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
