Hi all,

I was hoping someone could help me, any help would be greatly appreciated:-)

I have a text field called "userAnswer" which the user enters their answer in, i then have a field called "userScore"

I am trying to create a validation script that if the user enters the words 50% anywhere inside the userAnswer text field, then the userScore field will display "Correct".

Any help would be great, thank you:–)

You can place this code as the custom validation script of userAnswer:

if (event.value && event.value.match("50%")!=null) {
this.getField("userScore").value = "Correct";
} else this.getField("userScore").value = "";
