Replacing numbers in Array (Texts) with thousands format

Replacing numbers in Array (Texts) with thousands format was created by Baarceri_122875
Hi there,
I am trying to amend some javascript to replace numbers entered in an array (texts) question with the same numbers but formatted to include commas for thousands. I have taken code from here for referencing the question answer, and here for replacing the entry with the same number formatted. Unfortunately, I can't get it to produce the desired result. Any ideas? My code looks like this...
Code:
<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'> $( document ).ready( function() { var this_surveyId='{SID}'; var this_groupId='{self.gid}'; var this_quesitonId='{self.qid}'; var this_self='{self.sgqa}'; var my_targetTextBox='#answer' + this_self; // Operate for its intrinsic value: $( my_targetTextBox ).blur( function() { $( this ).val( $( this ).val().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",") ); }); }); </script>


Regards,
Will

This is a very hard thing to do. We tried this to make this work in LimeSurvey as a core function but gave up on it.

The main problem is that there is no way to correctly format the number while typing, especially if you have decimals, because it would require that you know the full number in advance.

My advice: Don't waste your time on that one - you will regret it.
Best regards

Ah, ok, thanks anyway!
I thought maybe it would work because the uppercase transforming code in the first link works a treat.

If you are really keen on getting this to work, this is how it could be working:
Code:
<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'> $( document ).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete', function() { $('#question{self.qid}').find('.answer-item input[type=text]').on('blur', function(){ var oldVal = $( this ).val(); var newVal = String(oldVal).replace(/,/g,'').replace(/(\B)(?=(\d\{3\})+(?!\d))/g, ","); $( this ).val( newVal ); }); }); </script>

You could place a mask on the input. I like RobinHerbots' Inputmask plugin - github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask

There are some implementation tips here - www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...-masket-input#164412

I think, if using Inputmask, you would need something like this in the question source:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){ $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').inputmask({ 'alias': 'decimal', 'rightAlign': false, 'groupSeparator': '.', 'autoGroup': true, 'digits': 2 }); }); </script>
