hey

i usually use Javascript, seems like theres much more help for it online, but keep in mind that the LiveCicle Javascript is a bit different from the “regular” javascript – you may never end up facing this problem, i only figured it out while trying to get hte javascript prompt pop up to work, which Acrobat Javascript does not have.

Many thanks for your prompt answer.

I was suspicious, but thought Acrobat Javascript has some “built-in” functions. Because I’m new in a “not-so-exiting” world of LiveCycle (Visual Studio is my homeworld may be my problem is to differentiate object model (acroform, XFA), language used (Javascript, FormCalc) and to find a good reference guide, where I can fix what exactly I’m programming…

IsNumeric is not a LC function, it’s javascript.
Google for “IsNumeric Javascript” and the world is yours

the first one that poped up, i beleive was the one i used:

function IsNumeric(sText)
{
var ValidChars = “0123456789.”;
var IsNumber=true;
var Char;

for (i = 0; i < sText.length && IsNumber == true; i++)
{
Char = sText.charAt(i);
if (ValidChars.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
IsNumber = false;
}
}
return IsNumber;

}

Good Luck!

Hi,

nice post. I’m just wondering, how did you run IsNumeric() function? Because in Livecycle 8.2 I’m geting:
IsNumeric is not defined
in Change event of a text field with whatever Acrobat and Adobe Reader supported version. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your answer,
Dawid
