Question

this script works but it needs to show only as seen in example

try67 was nice enough to provide this script (see below). It works great but I noticed it allows me to enter text in the field. Don't want that. The field should only allow a dollar amount to be entered and accepted. Can someone show me how to modify this bit of script to not allow text? Thank you.

script:

if (event.value) { 

    event.value = "$" + util.printf("%,0.2f", event.value) + "/ per foot"; 

}

I've placed the script under Custom Format.

You'd need to add a custom Keystroke script. When you say you want to enter a dollar amount, do you want to allow cents as well?

hi George, yes I want to show the dollars and cents. As it is right now, I can do that. Like this, if I enter 25.58 the field shows $25.58 per foot. But, if I enter some text, the field shows the text and the "per foot". Not what I want to do. It doesn't make sense. I don't know how to modify the script to do as you're saying. Would I just place the script to the Keystroke window? Would modifying this script be too complicated?

No, you'd need to write a second piece of script to control what the user types.

Or modify the first strip to remove everything that isn't one of your legal 11 characters.
