asked on Form Field Validation Logic
I have a form with three fields. 1 or more of these fields needs to contain at least 1 number. (all three fields can only contain a number) At least one field needs to contain a number. At the moment you can enter Zero (0) but it must be at least the number 1. What type of jQuery validation can I do to validate these three fields for this type of rule?

@Julian All fields can contain a number (character [0-9]) BUT at least one of the fields MUST contain a number (character [0-9])
Can they contain other characters in addition to a number?
Assuming it is only numbers then is it single digits only or can it be more than one digit?
I am assuming from what you said that the following is valid.
F1: (empty)
F2: 33
F3: (empty)
Is the above valid?

Yes. But the following is not:
F1: (empty)
F2: 0
F3: (empty)
It has to be at least the number 1
Yes. But the following is not:

F2: 0

And
F1:ABC
F2:A2
F3:
I am still not certain of the exact set of rules. Can fields contain non-numerics.
If a field is allowed alpha's does F2 count?

NO, that will not work. Only Numeric values except the number Zero. At least one of the three fields must contain a Numeric value.
Ok got it - will post back shortly
What about this.
var total = 0;
$('input').each(function(i, e) {
total += $(e).val();
});
if (total > 0) alert('you are ok');
else alert('invalid input');

Thanks. It was not 100% what I needed but this helped me to understand what to do. Thanks!
You are welcome.

Are you saying that a field must contain at least one numeric character [0-9] or are you saying that all fields must contain only numbers?
