How to enter text & numbers into text field?

Avatar

Level 2


I am designing a form for our Labor cases, and in the Case# field, which I have established as a (text field), I wish for the user to input the following as example:

2014-DAA-000012

I would like for the dashes to show automatically as does the social security number.  Any takers on this?  Thank you!

Hi,

you can use patterns to format you input a little bit.

You need 2 patterns in your text field:

One for displaying ...

text{9999-AAA-999999}

... and one for editing.

Thanks!  Provided this input this morning, and all worked fine.  Now if I could just mastermind the ability to automatically capitalize letters.  Thank you again sir/madam for your help.
