Javascript - validation, numbers only

Question

I'm trying to get my login form to only validate if only numbers were inputted. I can it to work if the input is only digits, but when i type any characters after a number, it will still validate etc. 12akf will work. 1am will work. How can i get past this?

Part of the Login

<form name="myForm">     <label for="firstname">Age: </label>     <input name="num" type="text" id="username" size="1">     <input type="submit" value="Login" onclick="return validateForm()">  function validateForm() {      var z = document.forms["myForm"]["num"].value;     if(!z.match(/^\d+/))         {         alert("Please only enter numeric characters only for your Age! (Allowed input:0-9)")         } } 

Answer 1

Match against /^\d+$/. $ means "end of line", so any non-digit characters after the initial run of digits will cause the match to fail.

Edit:

RobG wisely suggests the more succinct /\D/.test(z). This operation tests the inverse of what you want. It returns true if the input has any non-numeric characters.

Simply omit the negating ! and use if(/\D/.test(z)).
