Controlling the number of characters in a numeric entry field (Phone Number Capture)
Hello!
I wanted the user of my course to enter a phone number into a numeric entry field. And I was trying to control the length of the entry using the following method (which failed by the way):
Default Variable: NumericEntry (Name Changed to PhoneNumber)
Field Name: Phone Number (This has a <space>)
Default Trigger: Set PhoneNumber equal to typed value when it looses focus.
Set another T/F Variable: Phone_Change
Set Phone_Change to True, when PhoneNumber changes;
if PhoneNumber => 1000000000
and if PhoneNumber <= 9999999999
Else, show error.
No idea why this did not work.
The other option I saw, was to run several Java Scripts, which I am not good with at least as of now. Here is the link to the other discussion: Limit number of characters in a text input field using Javascript - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes
Any ideas?!
Cheers

Forgot to mention this:
I wanted this field to take exactly 10 digits (not more; not less either). So, I used the smallest 10-digit number and the largest 10-digit number as thresholds.
