Currency format masking

Question

Is it possible to Mask a textfield numeric entry into locale specific currency
mormat.
I have tried it with <netui:formatNumber> tag ,but it is not giving the right
result.
Say if i enter 123457678 in a textfield ,it has to be formatted in UK format i.e,1,23,45,678
How can it be done

I think you will need to do the formatting in javascript. The formatNumber
tag does not support the varying number of digits between commas. The
formatString handles arbitrary string formats but it works left to right and
so it isn't good for numbers.

The problem is that the double has been formatted into a String of the
form
$12.34 and this is POSTed back into a double type.Without unformatting
the $
off the currency, this won't convert into a Java double type. That's
why
type conversion is failing. Unfortunately there is no support to unformat
this string before POSTing back.

Thanks john,
Can i format a textfield entry using
<netui:formatNumber country="GB" type="currency" language="en"/>
I have tried it,but while submitting the page ,it displays the
following
error
[]: NetUI Warning: Unable to update expression"{pageFlow.bsImpl.balanceSheet[0][26].amount}".
The typical cause is that the object represented by the expressionis not
available
or is the wrong type for updating. Cause:com.bea.wlw.netui.script.ExpressionUpdateException:
Exception when attempting to update the expression"{pageFlow.bsImpl.balanceSheet[0][26].amount}"
with available binding contexts [actionForm, pageFlow, globalApp].Root
cause:
com.bea.wlw.netui.script.IllegalExpressionException: The type "double"can
not
be set through XScript.
could u help me to figure it out ?

if
that is
the problem you are trying to solve. Let me know.
<netui:label value="12345678">
<netui:formatNumber country="GB" type="currency"language="en"/>
</netui:label>
Here is the result
£12,345,678.00
