JavaScript Function isNaN

24th December 2007 - 1 minute read time

Small JavaScript function to check if a variable is a number.

function checkValue(value){
  if(isNaN(value)){
    return false;
  }else{
    return true;
  }
}

Use this in your form validation if you are checking to see that a user has entered a number.
