Basic form currency format

Posted on by Crocus

My basic form wasn't showing the bootstrap currency field on Currency type input fields (it looks like this):

I added some code in jQuery to fix this:

$("input.money").parent().attr("class","input-group").css('width', '100%').prepend('<span class="input-group-addon">$</span>');

Now it is showing up twice! It must have added it automatically also. The next time I tried it, it only shows up once, via my code.

Does anyone know under what circumstances Power Pages will put the Currency field formatting in?

When I test it without my code sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't.

Hi @Crocus ,

from what I know it usually should show up.
Test it in multiple browser and what I found is that if using the power page not in preview but in public availability it loads a bit different, why soever.
For your problem I would add some more JQuery and check if the currency sign is available, if yes do nothing if not add your sign.

Hope that helps. Please mark the post as a solution if it solves your problem or consider a thumbs up when it helps.

Hi @Crocus ,

Assuming you're using currency type columns on your basic form. Once you're creating record from Portal the currency sign is not added by default to the columns instead appear with currency sign but after creation, Portal automatically adds currency sign to currency columns. I think that is the reason why you're getting is doubled after adding your script.

If you have to show it at the time of creation, try to add your script only on create mode when record is not created instead remove it. It should work for you.

Here are two screenshots that I have taken for reference.

1- When adding record to the sub grid using Basic form.

2- It looks like this after I added this record.

Feel free to ask, if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Saud
