So I've added the following Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $("document").ready(function() {
        $('#Total').before("$");
    });
</script>

This code should post a dollar sign ($) BEFORE the input textbox. It doesn't appear but has proven to work (based upon my tests elsewhere outside of RSFormsPro).


Anyone know why this code won't work inside of RSFormsPRO's Javascript box, but if I put this in my web template it does work?

Well firstly, that's not really Javascript... that looks like jQuery to me... so:

1. make sure the jQuery library is included in the <head> section of your joomla template.

2. Since Joomla is odd, you need to change the prefix from $ to jQuery.... so your code will look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("document").ready(function() {
jQuery('#Total').before("$");
alert("Josh is the Best!");
});
</script>

give that a go and let me know.
You could also add an alert which will make it clearer if the JS is working.
p.s. lol I couldn't help myself with the alert string haha.

Good Luck!

Still the same problem. I entered in your code in the CSS/Javascript box and it still doesn't work. Thank you for the tip, though.

Go to your template file and put it in the <head> section there... so instead of using Joomlas fancy GUI and entering it in one of the 'Add your JavaScript Here' boxes... try actually placing it in your template file...

Don't forget to also include jQuery!!!

Add this at the top of the previous code... eg:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("document").ready(function() {
alert("Josh is the Best!");
});
</script>

make sure that you have the include jQuery script link ABOVE the code otherwise it wont work. ...This is because the JavaScript is loaded from the top-down... making the position of linking the jQuery library crucial for it to work.

Good Luck!

Can you provide a URL to your form so we can take a look ?

PS: loading jQuery should not be done in this manner.

Yes, that's what I wound up doing. I always had jQuery loading. So this is how I left the code to work, manually entering into my template, which works:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#Total').before("<span class='totalnumber'>$</span>");
});
</script>

But the question still remains as to why it doesn't work in RSFormsPro!
