dollar sign

[BehNaman]

Hello! I use a currency field as a cascading text field. As soon as I input a value on virtual 1, the currency is populated. I would also like to populate a dollar sign with the currency when the value populates. any suggestions?

Hi there,

You can try using this JavaScript snippet to add a dollar sign to your cascading text field.

<script>
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', function (event) {

var src = document.querySelector('[id*=InsertRecordMoney]');

src.onchange = function() {
if(src.value.charAt(0) == '$'){
src.value= this.value;
}
else{
src.value = '$' + this.value;
}
}
});
</script>

The if else statement just checks whether the dollar sign is already existing so it would not duplicate it if you happen to change the value of the currency field.
This is what it will look like on DataPage startup:
