I have the following piece of code to check that a text field contains only letters, but it doesnt seem to work!

Code:
     var name = document.frmContact.name;
        var nameError = 0;
        
        if ((name.value.length < 2) || (isNaN (name.value) == false))
            {
                nameError++;
                alert ('Please enter a valid name' + nameLetter);
                return false;
            }
Does anyone know how I can use the IsNaN function to get it to work? Or is there a more suitable function? Such as one that tests for letters rather than numbers?

Never mind, the 'nameLetter' bit was causing the problem!

But I dont suppose there is a function that does just test for letters rather than numbers?

Regular Expression and string.match()

if (frmElement.value.match(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/))
