function hasNumbers(t)

Returns true if t contains numbers, otherwise false.

That should probably be returns true if t contains at least one
number, otherwise false.

So the function should probably be called hasNumber() or hasDigit().

Say, myVar is your object to be checked, if (/\d/.test(myVar)) .....

[epbon]

function hasNumbers(t)
{
var regex = /\d/g;
return regex.test(t);
}

just try ~_~

[epbon]

function hasNumbers(t)
{
var regex = /\d/g;
return regex.test(t);
}

just try ~_~

[epbon]

// t is your string
function hasNumbers(t)
{
var regex = /\d/g;
return regex.test(t);
}

:) try ~_~

If you do this a lot stretch the String.prototyp e:

String.prototyp e.gotNum=functi on(){
return /\d/.test(this)
}
otherwise
function gotNum(str){
return /\d/.test(str)
}

If you do it, do it right. The test is for a digit, not for a number,
and should be named accordingly.

R2D2 & C3PO have digits in their names, but not numbers.

HM Queen Elizabeth II and William Gates III have a number in their IDs,
but no digits.
