[validate] number validation method fails if first char is decimal

[ryan.rch]

succeeds for '0.25' but fails for '.25'

I suggest modifying the regexp as such: /^{-?(\d*|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})+)(?:\.\d+)?$/.test(value);}

seems to work for me.

We're having the same issue. A slightly less intrusive fix for the regex would be to just replace the first one or more repeat matcher with the zero or more one:

original: /^{-?(?:\d+|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})+)(?:\.\d+)?$/}

modified: /^{-?(?:\d*|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})+)(?:\.\d+)?$/}
