If anything than numbers inside textfield hide the submit button?

Question

I have multiple select and 2 text fields for advance multiple search in Magento eshop. The text field 1 has the value "Price Low" and the 2nd "Price High".

I want to disable the submit button until the user fills in only with numbers in the text fields, whose IDs are: "searchbar" and "searchbar2".

My problem is that if nothing is filled in the text field and the user submits the data, it will query "Price Low" & "Price High" text fields in the result and it will mess with the other values ("brand" etc).

Magento forms already use Really Easy Field Validation for Javascript so all you need to do is give those fields a class="required validate-number" and the rest is automatic.

However on the server side you should must validate all fields yourself if not for better searching then for security reasons. Remember the programmer's mantra; Garbage In, Garbage Out!
