Rediff Books: Spaced out?
So did I enter numeric data or not? I did, only, I inserted a space. If I am not wrong, the field does not allow spaces between numbers. The error message should read "Spaces not allowed." or something like that. But, this error situation should not occur in the first place. Why can't Rediff tell the user BEFORE the user enters data that spaces are not allowed? Better still display an example of the accepted format? I wanted to buy the latest Chetan Bhagat's book. But looks like I will shop else where for it.

The space that u left was non numeric.
That begs the question do users perceive Space as a character in the first place? I am talking about lay users and not techies like you.
Duh... you have given a space. Space is obviously not considered a numeric value.
@ Anon: Duh right back at you. Users don't consider space as a character in the first place, which was precisely my point. Duh!
