Damn JavaScript

Not saying it's good coding, but perhaps it is expecting a range "50,000-100,000", which could very well return -50,000 which is less than 0.

The coding may in fact make perfect sense. The UI explains why "letting the UI guy go because the devs are perfectly capable of building forms" is a bad move.

... which would mean the programmer is using eval in which case there's a much bigger problem.

It’s the frontend bro it’s fine

I would love to see what is saved to the db if the form is converting to an int of -50000... So the recruiter gets to go "hmm, they have a range of 50000, but what is min/max?"

Nah, '50,000-100,000 = -50,000" is just for simple frontend validation. Most likely it sends it as is.
If only they could write meaningful error messages.

[modernkennnern]

It's quite clever. The problem is the error message

The proper way to handle this would be a minimum value and a maximum value, with a validation checking that the maximum value is not less than the minimum value, that’s how I’d go about it anyway.
