How to force alpha or numeric inside text fields - LiveCycle Designer 9.0

it works fine for dynamic forms

I figured it out!  It just needs to be like this:

//replace @ with "@domain.com"
if (xfa.event.change == "@") {
  xfa.event.change = "@domain.com";
}

So it will generate the suffix string only when you press "@", and it allows corrections without duplication, etc.

Thanks, Radzmar, it works!  But there's one little issue -- if I press the Backspace key to make a correction, or even type in any other letters, it adds another "@domain.com" with every keystroke.  The only way I have found to get around it is to manually select the entire portion containing all the ampersands and then press Delete.  Any way to solve that?

You can use something like:

if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[\ba-zA-Z0-9._-]+@{1}/g))  {
  xfa.event.change = "@domain.com"; 
}

Hi all,

In addition to my question above, I have another:  I have an e-mail field where all users will be entering the same domain after the "@".  Is there a way to automatically replace the "@" with "@domain.com"?  I have used the code below (and other variations of it, using quotation marks, etc.) and haven't been able to make it work:

if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[@]/))  {
  xfa.event.change = "@domain.com";
}

Great appreciate any help!

Hi all,

I'm using the script below to force numbers only for a phone number field, but it allows the user to press the parentheses and dash characters into the field, perhaps related to auto-fill on the field.  Is there any way of preventing this?

if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[^0-9]/)) {

  xfa.event.change = "";

}

I did try the code above few days back and it did not work

It did today!

I am writing the below in the exit event too, cuz the above code holds good only when the user is typing.

if (!xfa.this.rawValue.charAt(0).match(/[a-zA-Z0-9]/g)) { 

  this.rawValue = null;

  xfa.host.setFocus(this);

}

Thanks a lot radzmar!

this should do the trick.

if (!xfa.event.newText.charAt(0).match(/[a-zA-Z0-9]/g)) {

  xfa.event.change = "";

}

Hi,

I was able to achieve this with the below in my change event:

if(xfa.event.newText.charAt(0).match(/[ `~!@#$%^&*()-_={}|:;."<>,\\\[\]]/g))    

{

  xfa.event.change = "";

}

But the above restricts numeric also from entering at first position i am assuming this is happening cuz im using chartAt() which probably checks only for string.

I need the user to enter either alphabet or numeric at my first character.

Please Help.

Actually want to avoid special characters(including space) at my first character.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Radhika
