jQuery.isNumeric()
Inside jQuery we've found several situations where we need to know if an argument is numeric, or would be successfully converted to a number if it is some other type. We decided to write and document jQuery.isNumeric() since it's a useful utility. Pass it an argument of any type and it returns true or false as appropriate.
