Edit "Warning: Javascript Window" Message

Hi

Newbie here - I have changed the formatting of a field to Arbitrary Mask for numbers to be displayed in a certain way. Eg: ABN Numbers to be completed on an application form in the following sequence:

99 999 999 999

Is there any way to change the Warning message from the Javascript Pop-up?? (see below)

 

I basically just need it to say: "ABN must be 11 digits" > as i have clients filling out this form - the pop up error needs to be very simple and explanatory.

 

If there is no way to do this due to the Arbitrary Mask formatting - is there any other way I can do this without losing the number sequence formatting of : 99 999 999 999??

 

Please help?

    You can't change it, but you can write your own code that will do the validation, and then you can use any message you'd like. However, the "warning: javsscript window" part will still appear, as it's a built-in part of any alert window that isn't executed from a trusted context.

    You can do the arbitrary mask as a custom keystroke script or as custom validtion script, for example.

     

     If the user doesn't enter the desired format it can throw a customized alert and reset the field .

     

    Is this  what you're asking about?
