[RESOLVED] Text field with numeric value only?

[Phill Pafford]

Hi All,

does HTML have a text field that is a numeric only value?

example:

I have a text field and I only want numbers to be enterd, does html have this? or is this some sort of javascript validation?

No. All text fields are strings.

You have to make sure that your script has sufficient information to convert it to a number, or explicitly use a conversion function such as parseInt().

You can use "regexp" to enforce numerics in a validation script.
