[FX.php List] Leading zero getting dropped in a login

[Steve Winter]

Hi Jon,

You can still validate that the field only contains numeric characters, you
just can't treat it as a number, so you'd have to check each character
that's being submitted is within the charset [0-9]...

As to 'why now', my guess is that it's not just started happening now, but
that nobody got round to telling you till now...

Cheers
Steve

Steve,
    Thank you.  I change the javascript validation to Alphanumeric (if they
entered any letters it would kick them out anyway as there are no user id's
with letters in them.).
    But why did it just now start causing a problem?  We used this same
system last year for the first time. No problems and it just started today.
As I looked through the data base, there are other users with leading zeros
entered and they never got, (or told me) an error?  Oh well, it works now, I
hope.

    Thank you so much!

Jon Montgomery
