Removing automatic "0" from Javascripted form field

[dtschorn]

Hi All,

I'm having a massive problem trying to remove the default "0" from a Javascripted form field.  I needed the field to be in the "xx xxx xxx xxx" numerical format, which has been figured out:

var x = Number(event.value).toFixed(0); 
event.value = 
event.value = " " + x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, " ").replace(/\./g, ',');

But this unfortunately means that now the field defaults to "0" when opening the file.  I've searched the forums and have been unable to come up with any kind of solution that maintains the integrity of the format.  If anybody can provide some help it'd be really appreciated, thanks!

For a number I use the following Custom Format Script:

if(event.value == o) {

event.value = "";

}

Hi, thanks for your response, but if I add that, then the xx.xxx.xxx.xxx formatting for the numbering is lost.

You are dealing with a string value and not a numeric value.

Try as a custom format script:

var x = Number(event.value).toFixed(0);
if(event.value == 0){
event.value = "";
} else {
event.value = " " + x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, " ").replace(/\./g, ',');
}

Thank you again, does that mean that there is no way to get numbers to automatically format into the "1 123 123 123" format (rather than the 1,123,123,123 format) without there being a "0" in the field prior to entry?
