When a calculated field is zero, I would like it to print blank.

When I use the java script in Validation,

if (event.item ==0) event.item = "";

I saw this on another post.

I received the message

Syntax Error: missing ) at condition 1: at line 2.

I don't know what I am doing wrong.  I know I am missing a ) but I don't know where I need to add it.

I just saw how to attach.  Here it is.


It's validation script, you need to change value of the field to trigger script,try changing value and then back to 0.

There's no such thing as "event.item" in Acrobat JavaScript.

Use this code:

if (event.value==0) event.value="";

Hello @Mary241430957hka,

 

Can you post the entire code?

I no longer receive the syntax error but the zero is still printing in the calculation field on the form.  The calculation field is a currency field.

 

Here is what I put in the Valdate Window under custom:

if (event.value==00) event.value = "";

 

Thank you for help.  I tried Adobe customer support and I was on Chat for over 45 minutes and shared my screen and they told me they don't do java script.
