  • Component changed from unfiled to misc
  • Priority changed from undecided to low
  • Status changed from new to open

Confirmed in Chrome 15 and Firefox 8.

This is because the isNumeric method is using parseFloat which is coercing the array into a number.

Can we just update the ​isNumeric documentation to make it clear that what's being checked is the argument's String representation?

What is there to change? That behaviour is correct. ​http://es5.github.com/#x15.1.2.3

@rwaldron can't we at least just add this to the other examples, to make it clear? $.isNumeric("[1]");   true
