How do you display $ dollar signs and % signs?

[BVGContentQueen]

I'm creating a calculator but I cannot display a $ before the number unless there is a space. We've tried various Javascripts but it's becoming more work than it is worth. What are some tips and formatting options?

Are you talking about displaying it in a text entry?

Yes. So I can't write $$$var_somedollarvalue$$.

In JavaScript you just need to append the amount you want to display with the dollar sign.

window.var_somedollarvalue = "$"+window.var_amount;

I created a variable called var_amount, which is the number that is calculated.

Your test caption would just be: $$var_somedollarvalue$$

Thank you! Because there was additional funky math before it, I had to truncate all the additional digits using this:
window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("var_truncDollar", "$"+var_vacationTotalx.toLocaleString('en-US', {maximumFractionDigits:2}));

Just curious, why did you decided to use the .toLocaleString...method for your number adjustment? Hope you are having a great day!
