Re: RES: [PHP-DB] input field validation

Ok...so, I'm a couple days behind...

[somewhat OT tidbit]
!isNaN(null) will also return true since null is parsed as 0.

Now, if you're going to use a String search, might as well use something
built-in that does just that.
First advantage: shorter code and smaller files.
Also, RegExp's usually (but, no always) parse faster than charAt loops.

Javascript:

  function isInteger(value) {
    // accepts untrimmed strings
    return (/^\s*[0-9]+\s*$/).test(String(value));
  }

  function findInteger(value) {
    return String(value).replace(/^[^0-9]*([0-9]*).*?$/, '$1');
  }

Tests:

  var i, j;
  var funcs = [isInteger, findInteger];
  var input = ['12 ', '12sds', 'fhe34', 'a12.3b', '1abc2', 99, 2.4, null];
  for (i = 0; i < funcs.length; i += 1) {
    for (j = 0; j < input.length; j += 1) {
      document.write(funcs[i](input[j]), ';  ');
    }
    document.write('<br>');
  }

Output:

  true; false; false; false; false; true; false; false;
  12; 12; 34; 12; 1; 99; 2; ;

Usage:

  <input type="text" onblur="this.value=findInteger(this.value);" /><!--
silently strips invalid characters -->
  <span>(integers only)</span>

  function validate() {
    if (!isInteger(FormObject.input1.value)) {
      alert('Please enter an integer for ...');
    }
  }
