Formatting a textbox field for numbers?

[AllenRitch]

Is there anyway to format a textbox for decimal points or percentages (much the same way one would in a spreadsheet)?

For example: if the user typed 1.08 in the textbox, I would like it to show 108% after they leave the textbox.

The only way I know of is to use Javascript with the onBlur event for the textbox. Quick example thanks to Google.

Ask in the Javascript forum for more specifics.

Unfortunetly, I'm not that familiar with Javascript. Is there anyway to do it using VBScript or by setting the textbox properties?

No on properties and VBScript only works in IE, so you're limited by that.

Why don't you try in the JavaScript forum... I'm sure someone would be kind enough to provide a bit of code for you. It is best to ask there because when someone is trying to find the same solution they are likely to find the post when it is where it should be.
