hello,
i have a sort of validation that i need to implement in my form.
there are textboxes that should accept only numbers. as the user types the appropriate commas should appear accordingly.
example: the user types 25000 but in the text box it appears as 25,000 automatically.
i dont want the user to input points as there wont be any decimals in the values. he/she should only input the number.
could i get some help on it with javascript?
peace,

thnx for the link rdmjrb, i would have given it 60 points but im out of points right now.
jaysolomon!!! sup? i see you got what i wanted. your script works fine with maxlength=6. in my environment it is a bit difficukt coz the digits always exceed the max length=6. i live in a country where a dollar costs a 1000 shillings.
i would like to go to a maximum of 9. could you help me with the commas? it's working fine right now coz in my question i gave a 6 digit example. i see my mistake.
thnx once again jaysolomon

there is the link
after you look at that and if you decide to go that route, we can then see your form and create the Number Only function

wow that script on that page is quite complex and trying to customize it for my form is way beyond my capabilities. but there's a setback, that try it button does the formatting. i am sure there must be a way to make that function trigger onkeypress or something? dont you think so? well, i have decided to go that route but that button shouldn't do the function, it should be done on the textbox itself.
peace

Response.Write "<SELECT name=studentid onchange=""studentname.val
I think it should be like so
Response.Write "<SELECT name=studentid onchange='this.form.studen
and
Response.Write "<SELECT name=studentname onchange='this.form.studen
This is contredicting itself to me
and this is why you are getting the same results in the 2 DB fields

Basically you would have a function that gets fired onKeyPress that firstly checks the user only types numbers and second checks the length and if the length is 3/6/9, etc then it sticks a ',' in the string.
This is a pretty complicated piece of javascript for only 30 points, however this is one of the best javascript sites I have come across: http://www.dynamicdrive.co
