Javascript will only fire when the text field looses focus and has changed.
If you want to watch the text field interactively, you need to capture the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events. Then you can insure that only numbers (or specific characters) are enetered into the field.

I tested it by typing in just the letter "s" but the regular expression did not catch my test. Is the value not being send to the JS variable and then the function or am i missing something else?

Paul,
OnChange is only called when field looses focus. If you want to watch the text as it is type into the field, use onKeyDown / onKeyUp.
Also, look for a regx script that will validate the number style you are expecting. If the regx can't match the number, then fire your alert.
The validate function expects two arguments, which cannot be passed to it.
Instead of using string.concat (string), use string = string + string; It us much cleaner.
Instead of using document.write, create a div, id="txtDebug" and use
.innerHTML (myresult);
document.getElementById("txtDebug")
These are some suggestions that I can see of the top of my head that will clean up your code.
Good luck.
