Restrict Number Value Range

[reg614]

I am attempting to build a form with numeric fields that are supposed to limit the choices the user can enter.  Here are the choices:

• null (empty)
• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

The field should not allow the user to enter a 5 or above.  After the fields are all completed, I have a calculation at the end that averages all the data.

I tried to use a drop-down list, but that is formatted as text, and the calculation at the end of the form does not recognize the characters.

Please Help!

Take a look at the attached. It calculates an average for two drop-down list and two numeric fields, restricting values <= 4.

Sorry Steve, a lot of head scratching to get a regular expression test to work.

var vPattern = /[0,1,2,3,4]/;
var result = vPattern.test(xfa.event.newText);
if (result == false)
{
    xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.form1.page1.NumericField4");
}

Thank you, Naiall

I'm a bit of a noob, so I'm not sure how to plug in the expression you wrote (below).

Could you walk me through how I would enter your suggestion?

Thank you!

As I stated before, kind of a noob....
