Do not allow spacing in a text field

I have a form where the data will be imported into a database, so we don't want the users to be able to allow spacing when they enter the data.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, Anne

Use below script

TextField2.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace(/\s\s+/gm,"");


Hope this helps

thanks.  I put the script in "validate" and it won't allow me to enter anything.  Should I be putting it somewhere else?

SampleRef.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace(/\s\s+/gm,"");

I have uploaded the file where i have created 2 textfield. If you enter some text in textfield1 that contains space, it will display the same text in textfield2 without spaces.

You can Filter the User Input while typing and delete spaces directly.

Add this Script to the change Event of a field.

xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.replace(/\s/g, "");
