That worked. &nbsp;But how do I let the user add commas to the field? &nbsp;Is there a site that I can learn how the &quot;pattern&quot; works?<br />

That worked.  But how do I let the user add commas to the field?  Is there a site that I can learn how the "pattern" works?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a page where I'm getting data from a previous page. &nbsp;The field is a monthly rental and therefor is #####.##. &nbsp;The data being passed is &quot;250.00&quot;. &nbsp;I originally had the field as a numeric but that displays &quot;250&quot;. &nbsp;I've tried several different &quot;patterns&quot; that i googled but they didn't work as advertised.<br />
<br />
The code that I'm currently running is:<br />
<br />
echo '&lt;input type=&quot;number&quot; pattern = &quot;0.00-99999.99 {8}&quot; title = &quot;Enter a dollar amount without commas&quot; name=&quot;$PSF&quot; size = &quot;8&quot; min = &quot;0.00&quot; max = &quot;99999.99&quot; value=&quot;';<br />
echo $work;<br />
echo '&quot; maxlenghth=&quot;8&quot; step = &quot;0.01&quot;&gt;';<br />
<br />
The source code in the browser reads as:<br />
<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;number&quot; pattern = &quot;0.00-99999.99 {8}&quot; title = &quot;Enter a dollar amount without commas&quot; name=&quot;$PSF&quot; size = &quot;8&quot; min = &quot;0.00&quot; max = &quot;99999.99&quot; value=&quot;250.00&quot; maxlenghth=&quot;8&quot; step = &quot;0.01&quot;&gt;<br />

Thanks for the help<br />

How do I set up an input (text pattern) for a dollar field
