using jquery to detect number ranges

Question

Im trying to use jquery to detect a number above or below:

    $(".input-text").val()) > 499) {}
    $(".input-text").val()) < 1000) {}

Is there a way to set a range such as 500-1000 and the having jquery execute a function based on the range?

Thanks in advance!

var value = $(".input-text").val(); if(value > x && value < y){}? — gen_Eric

Do you want to execute the mentioned function whenever the value of the textbox changes? — techfoobar

You need to parse the value for numerical comparison:- parseFloat($(".input-text").val(),10) > 499 — PSL

You need to parse the input because it is just a string not a number

If your input is just Int:

if(parseInt($(".input-text").val(),10) > 499) {}
if(parseInt($(".input-text").val(),10) < 1000) {}

If your input is Float:

if(parseFloat($(".input-text").val(),10) > 499) {}
if(parseFloat($(".input-text").val(),10) < 1000) {}

Do

$(".input-text").change(function() {
    if (this.value > 499 && this.value < 1000) {
        console.log("working");
    }
});
