Answer 2

If your looking for form validation, you can look into the validation plugin: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation

However if you just want some sample code, it could be as simple as this:

$(function() {
  $('ref-to-input').blur(function() {
    if($(this).val().match(/[^\d]/)) {
      // invalid chars detected
    }
  });
});

you could also filter your input to only allow numeric characters:

$(function() {
  $('ref-to-input').keyup(function() {
    $(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[^\d]/, ''));
  });
});

Edit: don't forget to always use server side checking

Answer 4

function IsNumeric(sText){
    var ValidChars = "0123456789.";
    var IsNumber = true;
    var Char;
    for (i = 0; i < sText.length && IsNumber == true; i++) {
        Char = sText.charAt(i);
        if (ValidChars.indexOf(Char) == -1) {
            IsNumber = false;
        }
    }
    return IsNumber;
}

USE:

if ( IsNumeric(my_number) )
//do some here...
