My suggestion would be to put the $ outside the form at the left edge - customers would be less likely to add a $ if there was already one there. But you could also use a mask to be sure that all values entered are either numeric or a decimal point.
Hope this helps, Joanne Mansur Client Systems Analyst Northeastern University (617) 373-3295 (office) (617) 373-5985 (fax) [email protected] From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sokol, Brian Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ARSLIST] Decimal Field ** I have a form that is part of a purchasing application. The cost field on one of the forms is a decimal field. If a user enters a $ in front of the amount it is saved as 0.00. Any suggestions on preventing the users from entering a dollar sign?
