There is also a simple internal javascript function called isNaN(), meaning "is not a number".

It returns true (or -1) for non numeric values, and false (0) for numbers.

A decimal point inside a number is accepted as a number (for example "0.1"). isNaN is not locale dependant meaning that in countries using comma for decimal marker, we still get true from testing a value such as isNaN('0,1') )
