Well, I started out trying to find a isNumber function and on my way,
before I found the isNaN, I started looking into only allowing the
correct characters in, rather than testing for an error afterwards.
Since you can enter in 544.44.44 with this, I might also have a isNaN
check afterwards. dunno if that is the best tactic, but clearly I
don't do a ton of work in js.
