Currency Formating for a Input Textfield (ASP)

[Guest]

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and VBScript coding.  I have a regular text field where the user will be entering in a dollar amount and ultimately I want a user to enter in 5000 and when they hit tab to the next field I want that number to appear as 5,000.00.  Searched the forums for a while and there where different variations but none answered this questions.

Thanks

I don't use that language, but it looks as if FormatNumber() is what you're looking for.

I think a JavaScript solution is needed here. When the form field loses focus, change the entered value into another format. I don't know the solution myself, but it should be fairly easy. A quick Google came up with this: http://javascript.internet.com/forms/currency-format.html

Good luck!
