I tried with builtin in number filed option but it's truncating the leading zeros, I need to make the field only accept maximum of 6 digits, should not truncate any other zeros. Please help

Set the Format option to None and use this code as the custom validation script (you can also set the maximum number of characters to 6, if you wish):event.rc = /^\d{0,6}$/.test(event.value);

I need to have them enter an ID number between 5 and 7 digits long

- and I need to guarantee its numbers not letters

- and I need to allow leading zeros to display as well.

I currently have a format set to number and a validation script of:

---

var minLength = 5; // the minimum number of digits the user should enter

var maxLength = 7; // the maximum number of digits the user should enter

event.rc = true;

if (event.value && (event.value.length<minLength || event.value.length>maxLength))

{

app.alert("You must enter between " + minLength + " and " + maxLength + " digits.");

event.rc = false;

}

---

This takes car of 5-7 digits and guarantees its a number but it still suppresses leading zeros in the display.

Any ideas?
