Please specify a bit more.
Do you already have a sort of validation function?

From your message, I conclude that your problem is that Javascript does not understand that for you, "10,2" equals "10.2".
Here I wrote a sample html, but the important part is the javascript function that checks the value.

You would test the form field with a regex like this.
(10, 2) in database means 10 numbers, 2 decimal places. so 12345678.90 is valid.

var testRegEx = /[0-9]{1,8}\.?[0-9]{0,2}/
var isValidNumber = form.formField.value.match(testRegEx);
var testRegEx = /[0-9]{1,8}\.?[0-9]{0,2}/
var isValidNumber = form.formField.value.match(testRegEx);
