How to Check If a Value is Numeric or Not in jQuery

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to check if a value is numeric or not in jQuery. You can use jQuery’s isNumeric() method to check whether a value is numeric or not.

isNumeric() returns true only if the argument is of type “number” or if it is of type string and it can be converted to a number, otherwise it returns false.
 

HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Check If a Value is Numeric or Not</title>
		<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			// Put the jQuery code here.
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<input type="text" id="input" name="value" placeholder="Type a value">
		<p id="output"></p>
		<input id="check" type="button" value="Check value" />
	</body>
</html>
 

jQuery Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#check").click(function() {
        if ($.isNumeric($('#input').val())) {
            $('#output').html('The value is a number.');
        } else {
            $('#output').html('Value is not a number.');
        }
    });
});
