To validate a given number, use the isNan() function. It checks whether a value is a number of not. If true returns, it means the value is not a number.
Example
The following code returns false, which means the value is a number −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <button onclick="display()">Check</button> <p id="test"></p> <script> function display() { var a = ""; a = a + isNaN(6234) + ": 6234<br>"; a = a + isNaN(-52.1) + ": -52.1<br>"; a = a + "The above values return false, i.e. numbers."; document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = a; } </script> </body> </html>
