This blog post recommends overriding the default jQuery validate number and range rules in order to enable client-side support of the comma decimal separator.

To fix these problems, we can take the default implementation from the jquery.validate.js file for the range() and number() functions. We then create another .js file (say jQueryFixes.js), in which we override these default functions with ones that contain support for the comma as a decimal separator. The contents of the file should be something like this:

$.validator.methods.range = function (value, element, param) {
    var globalizedValue = value.replace(",", ".");
    return this.optional(element) || (globalizedValue >= param[0] && globalizedValue <= param[1]);
}

$.validator.methods.number = function (value, element) {
    return this.optional(element) || /^-?(?:\d+|\d{1,3}(?:[\s\.,]\d{3})+)(?:[\.,]\d+)?$/.test(value);
}
