How to ........... in Javascript?

otherwise?

the parseInt and parseFloat functions take a variable in, attempt to extract
an int or float respectively and return NaN if the value entered is, you
guessed it, not a number..

var x = 'aby635';
if isNaN(parseInt(x)) {
// it's not a number
}else{
...
}

well, you're on your own on that one. If you want to give back dir lists of
the server,
you can use the FileSystemObject's API. If you ant to browse the client's
fs, you're screwed.
