How to format a text field with either alpha/numeric (2 decimal & thousand separator)

Currently I've designed a form with text fields whereby I can either type in "Not applicable" or numerical values. However, the default formatting does not cater to my requirements. Can anyone kindly guide me in regards to formatting using Javascript as I'm totally new to Javascript?

What kind of "formatting" are you referring to, exactly?

At the moment, if I use the default choice available (such as number) when selecting format category from format tab in properties, then I can't type in "Not applicable" in that particular text field since an error message will appear. However, if i choose none, then when I type in numerical such as 1000, it will remain exactly as 1000. I'm hoping that it will auto format for me into 1,000.00.

You will need to write your own custom Format (and Validation) script to be able to do it.
