Here is what I have, I need to validate to make sure the user is inputting a number 1 through 7 but also not entering any letters, it works sort of. When I test it for when I dont make an intentional error (using the number 1) I have to enter it 3 times before the proper dialog comes up. what am I doing wrong?
edit: I'm not sure why you tagged to that other post, it didn't clear anything up for me it seems like a similar but different question.
