In Livecycle, How do I hide the first five numbers in a SSN and make the last 4 visible using JS, jquery, or just Livecyle?

There has to be a way in LiveCycle to enter a SSN and it automatically hides the numbers entered and keeps the final four visible. LiveCycle may have a solution but I may have to use JS or jQuery.

In Designer you can use either the scripting language FormCalc or JavaScript but not jQuery.

Can you please provide a better description of what you're after?

How do the SSN look like you will enter and how the< should look finally?

Try this:

1) Create a hidden field ("hiddenField") to store the SSN value

2) In your SSN input field under the enter event (JavaScript) put:

this.rawValue=hiddenField.rawValue;

3) In the same field under the exit event put:

hiddenField.rawValue=this.rawValue;
this.rawValue="*";
for (var i=0;i<hiddenField.rawValue.length;i++){
  if (hiddenField.rawValue.length>i+4)
  this.rawValue+="*";
  else
  this.rawValue+=hiddenField.rawValue.substr(i,1);
}
