[SOLVED]Please need help to understand how decimal field works in form application

Scriptcase 8 Bugs
#1

Hello,
I am using SC V8 latest update (8.00.0036)

In a form application I have set a decimal field as 4 digits with 2 digits as decimal part (XX.YY)

If I type 4490 (without typing any comma or point) SC displays 44.90

If I type 490 (again without typing any comma or point) SC displays 4.90

It seems to me that SC automatically add the decimal separator in order to have always 2 digits after it, WITHOUT requiring the user to type any decimal separator.
Is it the correct behaviour ?

If this is the correct behaviour, can you please explain me how can I force SC to display 44.9 ?

Please note that 44.9 and 44.90 are not the same number for me: I am writing a scientific application and 44.9 means that I have measured up to the first digit and I am not sure about the second digit , where 44.90 means that my measure is precise up to the second digit.

Thanks for your help.

It’s default behaviour caused by javascript. The numbers roll in from right to left so yes, the decimal point is working that way. (I don’t like that, but it’s the way it is).

This is a problem with SC. Look this thread: http://www.scriptcase.net/forum/showthread.php?8548-ScriptCase-v8-0-035-(03-19-2015-20-20)

HI, Good News, The SC Team sending me the file containing the fix, and is up to you use it and/or pass on to other users.

In its ScriptCase folder in the directory scriptcase/devel/lib/js, change the jquery.scInput.js file so I am sending you out in the attachment of this email.

In Environmant Development copy in the _lib/lib/js

jquery.scInput.zip (8.07 KB)

Because you don’t always need it. Sometimes Browsers has it’s own soul and decide to retrieve again the files.

A “way” to “force” with JS is
window.location.reload(true)

But this not clear cache, just tell browser to reload all files, and browser will do whatever it wants :stuck_out_tongue:
