Script text fields

Is your form being created in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

The form is created in Acrobat. I am using 9.0 Pro Extented.

The Windows version provides both Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer.

You can use the field's 'Validate' tab to code a custom script for the validation. Since you will be in the current field being updated, you should use the 'event.value'

// check value for the following string
if(event.value == "M100123") {
// match so issue an alert
app.alert("\"M100123\" is not a valid entry, please retry", 1, 2);
// set event return code for failure
event.rc = false;
}

If you want upper and lower cases of the inputted value to be validated you will need to add additional code to provide for that requirement. The above code assumes there will be no leading or trailing blanks.

George this great! Thank you!

Just what I need.
