Strip Leading Zeros

What is the easiest way to strip leading zeros from a numeric field?

ie. 00009 should be 9

Thanks for any help!

Hmmm...apparently adding zero works pretty quickly:

put 0+000009

I was watching this thread hoping that it would answer a question I've been trying to answer myself. How do you actually apply input validation/input aids in Runtime Revolution?

In Javascript if I wanted to change the contents of an input field to all upper case I would put this in the field tags.

onChange = "toupper(this)"

and this elsewhere on my html page.
<script type = "text/javascript" language ="javascript">

function toupper(myObject){
myObject.value = myObject.value.toUpperCase();
}

</script>

Lets say I rewrote that in Transcript how would I apply it to a field and what would I use to trigger the function?

Many thanks

Put this in the field's script

Code: Select all

ON closeField
    put toupper(me) into me
END closeField

Leaving the field by tabbing out, clicking in another field, etc, would trigger it.

Hi Hank,

Brilliant! Many thanks.

Where can I find a list of even handlers and what objects they apply to?

Cheers

The Dictionary, under the Help menu.

Hi Hank,

I meant to say "event".

I'll have a dig in the Dictionary.

Cheers
