Formatting NumField & Keeping ImageField from edition

Hi,

a) you could use script in the exit event of the numeric field to check the value that the user has inputted and to take appropriate action. EG if they enter greater than 360 degrees it would change it back to a maximum of 360.

b) you have at least two options. First you could use an image object (instead of an imageField object). This would mean that you would have to edit the form in LC Designer to change the image source.

Another option would be to have an image object but include this script in the docReady event:

Then if you pick another field (like a textfield) you could have the following script in the exit event:

if (this.rawValue == "Open Sesame") // your secret password
{
imageField1.access = "open";
}
else
{
imageField1.access = "readOnly";
}

Now this is not 100% secure, as the "password" is hardwired into the form. There are ways to secure this with HASH codes, but this might be sufficient for you.

You could also use the 'validate' script action. You need write a script that evaluates to a logical true or false.

($.rawValue >= 0 & $.rawValue <= 360)You can then set the object's "Value" "Validation Script Message" by checking the option and enter a message like:

Enter a whole number between 0 and 360.

You can set your field's formats to "zz9".

Thanks a lot, to both of you, [b]gkaiseril[/b] & [b]Niall[/b].I don't know how could I not see there were TWO image related fields. on the numeric field matter, I must have made a mistake with the patterns (I had set them to "zz9" prior to posting here, BTW), but the script was the simplest solution, of course.
