Format Textbox on exit to Currency

[Patrick J. Schouten]

I am new to ASP/VBScript and I am trying to format a texbox when a
user exits it. In Visual Basic you could put the following in the Exit
property of the textbox:

textbox1 = Format(textbox1, "Currency")

Is this possible in ASP/VbScript? Any help appreciated. Please show
code in your reply, especially where to put this code in the asp page?
Thanks.

No, it has a

FormatCurrency Function
FormatNumber Function

You could use client-side JavaScript, with an onblur() event.

<input type=text onblur='someFunction(this);'>

Please follow up in a client-side group for more information.

There is a format currency function in VBScript also. But
the thing you are missing is that in order to use that in
your asp server-side code, you will have to submit the
form first. It is possible to use VBScript on the client-
side, but that is only advisable if you have control over
the browser the users are using. IE with VBScript
enabled. In that case u can write script tags with the
appropriate calls to your vbscript code. like this:

u can call a function
<input type="text" name="blah" onBlur="FormatThis(this);">

or call the FormatCurrency function
<INPUT type="text" name="blah"
onBlur="VBSscript:FormatCurrency(no reference handy)">

Thanks. Looks like I have a bit to learn about ASP. I am still trying to
get the hang of "server side" and "client side" scripts. Thanks for the
help.
