You should have it the way it was. parseInt tries to convert what's left after stripping all of the ($), (.), and (,), into an integer. If it fails, it will return NaN (Not a Number).

Well, it looks like I'm making progress... I needed to change if ( isNaN ( parseInt ( value.replace ( /[\$\,\.]/, "" )))) to if ( isNaN ( value.replace ( /[\$\,\.]/, "" ))) because I don't want to parse what's left. If there's anything besides digits, dollar signs, commas, and periods in the input, I want an error to be thrown. However, the problem I have now is the variations on the input that should pass validation... Here are some examples: $255900 passes as a valid entry. $255,900 does not pass and I want it to. $255,900. does not pass and I want it to. $255,900.00 does not pass and I want it to. But why? The statement if ( isNaN ( value.replace (/[\$\,\.]/, "" ))) is stating that "if all dollar signs, commas, and periods are taken out of the input entry, and the input is not a number"... right?

Rick: When you specify rules via plugin options, metadata is ignored. I thought I documented that somewhere... Gonna fix that. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de
