I believe there was a discussion on this a few weeks ago. It is generally not advised to use typed fields on the form so that the form can contain invalid data and display them to the user. If you still want to use typed fields you should probably do the validation yourself in. The alternative is to create your own version of the FieldCheck for numeric values.
