A few more things in addition to the existing answers  Have a look at this   var seatsValid   true     cache the selector var seatsVal       seats   val    if seatsVal           seatsValid   false      alert  Not a valid character          convert seatsVal to an integer for comparison  else if parseInt seatsVal   lt  99999       seatsValid   false      alert  Not a valid Number        The variable name setFlag is very generic  if your only using it in conjunction with the number of seats you should rename it  I called it seatsValid   I also initialized it to true which gets rid of the need for the final else in your original code  Next  I put the selector and call to  val   in a variable  It s good practice to cache your selectors so jquery doesn t need to traverse the DOM more than it needs to  Lastly when comparing two values you should try to make sure they are the same type  in this case seatsVal is a string so in order to properly compare it to 99999 you should use parseInt   on it

Iam confused a lot from morning whether it should be less than or greater than  this can accept value less than  quot 99999 quot   I think you answered it yourself     But it s valid when it s less than   Thus the following is incorrect   elseif    quot  seats quot   val    lt  99999     alert  quot Not a valid Number quot     else   You are saying if it s less than 99999  then it s not valid   You want to do the opposite   elseif    quot  seats quot   val    gt   99999     alert  quot Not a valid Number quot     else   Also  since you have    quot  seats quot   twice  jQuery has to search the DOM twice   You should really be storing the value  or at least the DOM element in a variable   And some more of your code doesn t make much sense  so I m going to make some assumptions and put it all together  var seats      quot  seats quot   val     var error   null   if  seats     quot  quot         error    quot Number is required quot     else       var seatsNum   parseInt seats            if  isNaN seatsNum             error    quot Not a valid number quot         else if  seatsNum  gt   99999            error    quot Number must be less than 99999 quot            if  error    null        alert error     else       alert  quot Valid number quot          If you really need setflag  var setflag   error    null   Here s a working sample  http   jsfiddle net LUY8q

Change the less-than operator to a greater-than-or-equal-to operator    elseif     seats   val    gt   99999

See this answer  val   is comparing a string  not a numeric value
