Formatting

[sue]

Hi,

Is there a way to format a textbox such that when the
user types in the number 4000 it will be automatically
formatted to $4,000?

Thanks.

It could be done in a client-side script, but not ASP. ASP could only alter
the input after it is submitted to the server where the ASP runs.

This can be done using VBScript

Sub textbox_onfocusout
document.form1.textbox.value = FormatCurrency(document.form1.textbox.value)
End Sub

The beauty of Firefox, of course, is that a VBScript extension could
conceivably be written for it (not that anyone in the Gecko development or
user community would want to).

OTOH, if FormatCurrency really does achieve the desired result, a server
round-trip would suffice.

I'd recommend a client side JavaScript. This will work in most browsers
too. Try posting in the Jscript newsgroup or a JavaScript newsgroup for
more details, as it is out of the scope of this newsgroup.
