[FYI] Item picker for characters with diacritical marks

[Wikiwi]

Just wanted to share this usecase to allow user to input characters with diacritical marks in them(è, î, ñ, â).

This small modification will help users input characters with diacritical marks using a dropdown list and a button. For this scenario, I will use a submission form but this can be modified and can be used to Single Record Update and Details Page.

First, you would need 2 new fields for each text field or text area you wish to implement.
- 1 virtual field set to a dropdown list that will contain the characters.
- 1 HTML block that will serve as a button and container of the javascript.

Here is the script that needs to be inside the HTML BLOCK:

<style>
#letter{
    background: #3B6AD2;
    border: none;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    display: inline-block;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-weight: 400;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}
</style>

<button type="button" id="letter">pick</button>

<script>
document.getElementById('letter').addEventListener('click',AddLetter);

function AddLetter(){
document.getElementById("<textfield_ID>").value = document.getElementById("textfield_ID").value + document.getElementById("<virtualfield_ID>").value;
}
</script>

Sample Output:
