Jquery validation - allow number without the leading zero?

Question

I\'m using jquery validation (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation) like so:

    var $__field = $(\"#selector\");  
    if ($__field.is(\":visible\")) {         


        

Answer 1

The solution included in jQuery Validation 1.14.0 takes care of the leading zero issue but leaves a leading negative sign issue. -.124 is invalid. -0.124 is valid. The RegEx provided in the posting above seems to allow -.124 so I favor it over the solution in jQuery Validation 1.14.0
