Java script Help!

I'm trying to create a format for a field in my PDF.

 

Custom Format Script:

event.value="/" +event.value + "/";

 

Custom Keystroke Script:

event.rc = /^[A-Z]*$/.test
(event.change);

 

I'm hoping the outcome that the what ever is entered in this field starts with "/" and ends "/". - when testing for e-sign, it did not warn the signor to use the "/" and "/" and they were able to move to hte next field and sign the document.

 

How can build this script to make it a requirement?

I meant, do I remove the format script and put that in the validation?*


Yes, remove that script and add this one instead:

if (event.value) event.value = "/" + event.value.replace(/^\//, "").replace(/\/$/, "") + "/";

Do you want the field value to actually have those characters in it, or just to appear as if it does?

If the former then using the Format event will not achieve that. You can use the Validation event to force it.
