javascript a value from another field to another field

[stepheng54012748]

Hello,

I have a field that is a number that results (when entered) 999-99-9999.  This is field "1a".  I'm trying to get this result to show up in another field "a14a7" without the "-" between the numbers so it all comes together as 999999999.  This is the script i wrote, which is pulling the number entered but my result still has the hyphens.  Can anyone help me with this?

if(this.getField("1a").value)
{event.value=this.getField("1a").valueAsString}
else
{event.value=this.getField("").valueAsString}

Try this

if(this.getField("1a").value)
    event.value=this.getField("1a").valueAsString.replace(/\-/g,"");
else
    event.value=this.getField("").valueAsString;

PERFECT!!!  Thank you!

If you have a lot of calculations, then form performance could be improved by using a Validation script for this action instead of a Calculation script.  Calculation scripts are run every time any field on the for is changed, whereas the Validation is only run when the specific field is changed. This solution works because field "a14a7" only get it's value from a single field. So that value can be pushed directly from the source field. 

To do this, delete the calculation on field "a14a7", and then add this script to the Custom Validation script on "1a";

if(event.value)
    this.getField("a14a7").value = event.value.toString().replace(/\-/g,"");
else
    this.getField("a14a7").value = "";

Yes, i am having an issue.  The result is pulling where i want it go.  I even put in the validation script you suggested.  The is, if i delete the number that was typed in "1a" it is not clearing in the other field.

try using just this code in the validation script for 1a, and make sure the name of the destination field ("a14a7") is correct, and that the original calculation script is deleted:

this.getField("a14a7").value = event.value.toString().replace(/\-/g,"");

Still not working.  When enter the number in the field the first time, it seems to be working.  When i delete it the number just stays.  Here is the script i put in "a14a7":

if(this.getField("1a").value)
event.value=this.getField("1a").valueAsString.replace(/\-/g,"");
else
event.value=this.getField("").valueAsString;

and here is validation i put in:

this.getField("a14a7").value = event.value.toString().replace(/\-/g,"");

Delete the script in "a14a7".  

Only the validation script in "1a" is needed. This validation script moves the data in "1a" into "a14a7".

Wow, that was very confusing and cool once i got my mind around it!!!

I think i'm getting this now.  If, i didn't want to get rid of the hypens how would i change the script and the validation?  So mirrorr with the script and validation what is in "1a"?

[stepheng54012748]

argh.  When i deleted the number that was in 1a it did not clear out of a14a7

[stepheng54012748]

ok.  it is in fact working!  ty;
