How to test if a number or string is an integer in javascript

I want to test if a number or a string is an integer or not. Even for the number like 1.00 is actually an integer.

The javascript function to test it:

function IsInt(value)
{
     return (!(isNaN(value) || isNaN(parseInt(value))) && parseFloat(value) === parseInt(value));
}

In Javascript, isNaN method will return false for empty string, i.e., isNaN("") === false. However, parseInt("") will return NaN.

!(isNaN(value) || isNaN(parseInt(value)) will make sure the value is actually a number (it could be an integer or float). The next part parseFloat(value) === parseInt(value) will make sure the value is an integer type.

Here are some test results:

IsInt("") returns false
IsInt("123abc") returns false
IsInt("abc123") returns false
IsInt("1.0") returns true
IsInt(1) returns true
IsInt(1.2) returns false

Take a look at this live demo on jsbin.

Forms authentication ReturnUrl strange behavior and fix

When working with .NET forms authentication, I have found a strange behavior: For example, we have a web site using form based authentication. There are only two pages in the site: login.aspx and default.aspx. Default.aspx is the protected page. Without login to the site, if you type directly the URL to the default.aspx page with ReturnUrl as QueryString like this: http://localhost/YourWebApp/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=Default.aspx Instead of redirect you to the login.aspx page, you will directly get http unauthorized error (401.2). However, if you remove the ReturnUrl query string or change it to something else, you will get expected behavior: redirect to login.aspx page. It seems .NET has some special treatment to ReturnUrl parameter. In order to fix this, we need to intercept the 401 response before it sends to client and redirect user to login.aspx page. In global.asax page, we need to add this event handler:         protected void Applica...

Any commands issued with work against the remote server. We can use the Appcmd.exe command line tool to manage remote server just as what we do locally. For example, to add an application pool: c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /name:"Contoso" /managedPipelineMode:Integrated /managedRuntimeVersion:"v4.0" /enable32BitAppOnWin64:true To change application p...
