Display large values in currency fields

Currency fields (“Dollars and Cents” Control in Orbeon) allow a user to enter very large numbers. However, when the field loses focus and formats the large number into dollars and cents format, only the first eight digits appear in the field. I need to be able to see up to 14 digits when the currency field loses focus and formats the value into dollars and cents.

Is there a way to do this?

I am using Orbeon Forms 3.9.1.201202031753 PE on a Windows 7 PC.

Thank you.

That looks like a bug in 3.9.1. I just tried and the latest
fr:currency seems to do fine with very large numbers. But there might
not be a very easy fix as this is a bit of a tricky component.

RE: Re: Display large values in currency fields

Erik,

While waiting for a reply to this post, I also used the Twitter "responding to @orbeon" (suggested at the bottom of the Documentation "http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties-form-runner") to ask this question. Here is the conversation:

Charles Thomas @CharlesCalls 28 Nov
@orbeon When a Currency control loses focus it displays the formatted number but only 8 digits. How can I to display 14?

@CharlesCalls Which version are you using? The value shouldn't be truncated, but the field might be large enough? twitpic.com/bha3so
Charles Thomas @CharlesCalls 28 Nov
@orbeon Orbeon Forms 3.9.1.201202031753 PE. Do not think field is truncated, just will not fit in the highlighted area. ________________________________________

@CharlesCalls OK, got it. Then using CSS to make the field wide should do the trick. You'll let us know if this works for you.

Do you think there is a possibility of enlarging the display area of the output of a fr:currency control with a CSS as the Twitter responder suggested? Or was the responder a bit optimistic. I have been trying since receiving his response to learn enough about CSS to widen the field, but have been unsuccessful so far.

Thank you,
Charles Thomas
