How can I validate the datatype of the textbox value using javascipt? e.g. validate if data entered is decimal/int.
I'm currently validating through the if else methods.

What I have tried:

if (...)
{
}
else(...)
{
}

Solution 1

JavaScript

var value = document.getElementById('textboxID').value;
        if (isNaN(value))
            alert('not an number')
        else
            alert('valid number');

refer JavaScript isNaN() Function[^]
