You could use a for-loop (rather than a recursive function) to strip off leading 0's.

I have a text input that I am using as a free input field for a number. I have it restricted to 0-9 characters and am casting it to a number when setting the value to my object. The problem is that if someone enters a value with a leading 0 such as 0100 it casts to 64. I am assuming that this is seen as a hex value when casting. Is there an easy way to avoid this without doing some crazy recursive string functions checking each character until I am sure the 1st character is not a 0 before the cast to Number() ? If someone enters 0100 by mistake, it should be set as 100. Rich Yahoo! Groups Links
