I have a situation where a number of numeric values will be passed to an action page. SOME of these values will be in various forms of currency format: i.e. $12,345.00 $1234 1,234.00
However, the Dollar sign, and comma (thousand separator) cause grief when entering these values into a database. The VAL function does not handle these properly. I cannot apply the DecimalFormat function - these values are not seen as numbers - IsNumeric fails on them. So, I wrote a routine to remove the dollar sign, and commas, then do IsNumeric on all form elements. If it was numeric, then I returned the "raw" number. Otherwise, I return the original value. However, this fails when we are dealing with lists of numbers. For instance, if I have two check boxes, same name, different numeric values, then a value like "1,2" is passed to the action page for the form field. In this particular case, removing the comma is BAD. However, I need to run this routine from Application.cfm to minimize impact/development time (large team of developers). Can anyone offer any insights or suggestions for this matter? Thanks bunches.
