Maybe you should take a look here  http   en wikipedia org wiki Luhn algorithm  Here is Java snippet which validates a credit card number which should be easy enough to convert to JavaScript     public static boolean isValidCC String number         final int     sumTable     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9   0 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 9        int sum   0  flip   0       for  int i   number length   - 1  i  gt   0  i--          sum    sumTable flip    amp  0x1  Character digit number charAt i   10              return sum   10    0

You can use this snippet to validate 16 digits card numbers with the Luhn algorithm   function validateCardNumber number        var regex   new RegExp    0-9  16          if   regex test number           return false       return luhnCheck number      function luhnCheck val        var sum   0      for  var i   0  i  lt  val length  i              var intVal   parseInt val substr i  1            if  i   2    0                intVal    2              if  intVal  gt  9                    intVal   1    intVal   10                                   sum    intVal            return  sum   10     0

Luhn s algorithm is used for adding validation of credit and debit card numbers  This JavaScript function should work out   function validate creditcardnumber inputNum        var digit  digits  flag  sum   i   len      flag   true      sum   0      digits    inputNum       split     reverse        for   i   0   len   digits length   i  lt   len   i            digit   digits  i         digit   parseInt digit  10         if   flag    flag             digit    2                if  digit  gt  9            digit -  9                sum    digit            return sum   10     0

You should really use  test     if   re16digit test document myform CreditCardNumber value       alert  Please             You should also look around for implementations of  one or more of  the card number checksum algorithms  They re very simple

I m sure all of these algorithms are great  but you cannot verify that a card number is valid just by running an algorithm on it   Algorithms make sure the format is correct and its checksums are valid  However  they do not guarantee the bank will accept the card    For that  you need to actually pass the card number to your bank for approval

You define the variable name re16digit but later refer to it as re10digit  which will throw an error   To simplify your code  you should use RegExp prototype test   rather than String prototype search     function validate creditcardnumber         var re16digit      d 16         if   re16digit test document myform CreditCardNumber value             alert  Please enter your 16 digit credit card numbers            return false               Working demo  http   jsfiddle net Dxjkh    As others have mentioned  you may be better off using a JavaScript implementation of the Luhn Algorithm   It s also worth mentioning that a check for 16 digits will fail for American Express  15 digits  and Diners  14 digits  cards
