Jquery check if value is numeric
I was wondering if anybody had a quick and dirty jquery method that will check if a value is numeric or not? I was thinking about using a regex type method to check the value, if not do not submit the form. I was using jquery validation, but I am running into issues just loading jquery validation.
I just have one value that I want to make sure is numeric.

Sure, use jQuery's isNumeric() function.
$.isNumeric("-10"); // true
$.isNumeric(16); // true
$.isNumeric(0xFF); // true
$.isNumeric("0xFF"); // true
$.isNumeric("8e5"); // true (exponential notation string)
$.isNumeric(3.1415); // true
$.isNumeric(+10); // true
$.isNumeric(0144); // true (octal integer literal)
$.isNumeric(""); // false
$.isNumeric({}); // false (empty object)
$.isNumeric(NaN); // false
$.isNumeric(null); // false
$.isNumeric(true); // false
$.isNumeric(Infinity); // false
$.isNumeric(undefined); // false
