What have you attempted so far?

i am using this code for validation but this way only can check null,(-)value,and character with special caracter. but don't know how can do with my requirement like 45.10

function ck_wt(obj)
{
if(obj.value=="")
{
obj.focus();
alert("Wt. Must be entered.")
}
else if(obj.value<0 || obj.value=="")
{
obj.focus();
alert("wait must be +ve")
return;
}
  else if(!obj.value.match(/^\d+$/)){
    obj.focus();
	alert("Only numbers are allowed.");
	return;
  }
}

thanks

Either use parseFloat and isNaN or use a simple float regular expression, e.g. /^\d{2}\.\d{2}$/

the code for check wait is modified by but not work it accepted special character like 4.5a or 4.5;aq but i wants to 4.5 only or 4

function ck_wt(obj)
{
if(obj.value=="")
{
obj.focus();
alert("Wt. Must be entered.")
}
else if(obj.value<0 || obj.value=="")
{
obj.focus();
alert("wait must be +ve")
}
else if(obj.value.match(/^\d{2}\.\d{2}$/))
{
obj.focus();
alert ("testing")
return;
}
}

i'm using this library below, u can use this

[CODE=javascript]function numbersonly(myf ield, e, dec) {
var key;
var keychar;

if (window.event)
key = window.event.ke yCode;
else if (e)
key = e.which;
else
return true;
keychar = String.fromChar Code(key);

// control keys
if ((key==null) || (key==0) || (key==8) ||
(key==9) || (key==13) || (key==27) )
return true;

// numbers
else if ((("-0123456789").in dexOf(keychar) > -1))
//else if ((("0123456789" )))
return true;

// decimal point jump
else if (dec && (keychar == "."))
{
myfield.form.el ements[dec].focus();
return false;
}
else
return false;
}[/CODE]


and to call that function in HTML form is with this event below :

onkeypress="ret urn numbersonly(thi s, event,true)"


hope usefull,

kind regards, maminx

Oh, I see you want any type of float number. What I suggested earlier was a very simple version from what you posted, but it seems you need something a little more complete. This link should help.

It allows multiple "." decimal characters.
