I have an interactive on line form.  I am trying to lock down a text field to Alph only.  Where do I find this option.

The following client-side JavaScript, attached to a text field exit event, will validate the characters a-z (ignoring case).

// form1.page1.subform1.firstName::exit - (JavaScript, client)

var regExp = /[^a-z]/i;
if (regExp.test(this.rawValue)) {
    xfa.host.messageBox("First name can contain the characters a-z, only.");
}

(These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)?? ---- ---- FTL stack trace ("~" means nesting-related): - Failed at: #assign answerAuthorNetSolutions = li...
