Check whether an input string contains number

Question

Question by Udara S.S Liyanage

I want to check whether an input string contains number.

I am trying to validate an input field. I want it to contain only alphabet, not numbers.

Answer 1

You can do this using javascript. No need for Jquery or Regex

function isNumeric(n) {
  return !isNaN(parseFloat(n)) && isFinite(n);
}

While implementing

var val = $('yourinputelement').val();
if(isNumeric(val)) { alert('number'); } 
else { alert('not number'); }

Update: To check if a string has numbers in them, you can use regular expressions to do that

var matches = val.match(/d+/g);
if (matches != null) {
    alert('number');
}
