I need a javascript that I can place in a form field properties area that will replace a "&" symbol with the word "and".....any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are a couple of places you can enter a script that modifies the contents of the field. The question is, do you want the value of the form field to be altered, or just what the user sees on the screen?
To modify the value of the field you will need to use a custom keystroke script. To modify the appearance of the field you will need to enter a format script. You can find articles on both of these in the tutorial on this site.
The script itself can be done with the JavaScript "replace" function, In both cases (assuming that you've got an AcroForm) the code will look like this
event.value = event.value.replace(/\&/g,"and");Thom Parker The source for PDF Scripting Info [url=http://www.pdfScripting.com]pdfscripting.com[/url]
