Trying to use conditional formatting to change text color based on field contents.

New(ish) to creating fillable forms in Acrobat Pro.  I would like to have the text within a field change color based on the numeric value entered.  Through other posts, I've learned that I have to enter a java script in the validation field.  As I'm unfamiliar with java script, I'm not able to use the examples in these other posts to help...I'm not sure what I need to change to do what I want to do.  The field is named "Percentage" and if the value entered is greater than 15, I want the text to appear in red.  Help???

As the custom validation script of the field you can enter this code:

event.target.textColor = (event.value>15) ? color.red : color.black;

I assume that you want the text color to be black if it's not more than 15...
