Getting percentages to display and work

[dm465531]

I have been having a issue where the user enters a number into the form, for example "23".  The user has to enter ".23" instead.  Is there a way for the user to be able to just enter "23"?  I am using LiveCycle 8.2.1 and have tried just about everything I can think of.  I am a novice when it comes to Adobe and would really appreciate some help.

Thanks Dave

Here are the patterns for percentages as given in my version of Adobe LC.  The "|" is for "or". 

Make sure the "Type" is "Numeric Field" and enter the following line into the "Pattern":

num{zzzz9%} | num{z,zzz,zz9%}

In it what tab of the pattern do I put that in?  So far I was using this formula in javascript:

if (this.rawValue != null) {

this.rawValue = Math.abs(this.rawValue);

if (this.rawValue >= 1) {

  this.rawValue = this.rawValue / 100;

}

}

if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue <= 1)

true;

else

false;

I am not sure that is what I should be using.  I used your line but it still multiplies it by a 100. It now just says for example 36% but it still multiplies by 3600  How do I stop that?

Thanks for your help
