adding script to validate entry only includes numeric values

[patricklatella]

hi all,

I've seen several posts about this but am having trouble adding in the script needed to validate that the entry in a field only contains numbers.   I already have an onChange client script validating that the entry in a field is 6 characters, but I need to also ensure the entry only contains numbers.

here's my existing script...can anyone help with the needed additional script?   thanks!

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

g_form.hideErrorBox('emp_workday_id');

if(!isLoading){

//check that the entry in the field is 6 digits

var empNumber = g_form.getValue('emp_workday_id');

if(empNumber.length!=6){ //check to see if emp workday id matches 6 numbers long

g_form.showErrorBox('emp_workday_id','Entry must be a 6 digit number');

return;

}

}

}

Hello Patrick

Can we try something like this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if(isLoading || newValue == ''){

return;

}

var pattern = /^[0-9]*$/;

if(!pattern.test(newValue)|| (newValue.length != 6))// adjust your digits.

{

alert('please enter only digits and min length should be 6');

g_form.setValue('u_variable1', ''); // adjust field name accordingly if you want to blank it out.

}

}
