I have this one text field I want the user to enter Yes or No. To save time is there a javascript to allow Yes to be entered when they just type in y or n so then No would get populated in the same field. I use to have a drop down, but I don't want to use that option. Does anyone know a little javascript that would enable me to do this? Thanks.

You can use this code as the field's custom Format script:

if (event.value.toUpperCase()=="Y") event.value = "Yes";

else if (event.value.toUpperCase()=="N") event.value = "No";

else event.value = "";

You're welcome. Just keep in mind this code doesn't change the actual value of the field, only the display value.
If you want to change the actual value use it as a Calculation script.
