    I recommend using regular expressions. To check for numbers your regular expression will probably be /^\d+$/ (string must be 1 or more numbers) and for letters /^[a-zA-Z]+$/ (string must 1 or more word chars).

    You didn't list the errors you are getting.
    Have you run the code through a debugger? Put a load of alert() messages into the code.
