Add Dollar signs to Number field entries
I have created an online form to replace one of our paper forms that we use at work. I also have a few number fields that I am performing calculations on. Is there a way to add a dollar sign to the entered values in the number fields? I am using the Prepend option to add the $ before the input. I would like to show the number values with the dollar sign when our users goes to the entry page for this form. It is hard to tell which fields are dollar values and which are just numbers.

Are you just looking for another way to give the user a hint that the field wants a dollar value? If so then you could enter the $ character in the field in the form editor, then turn on the "Clear default value when typing" option if you don't want that character saved in the field (which I assume you don't, since you're doing calculations on it). Not sure if that's what you're looking for?

If you would like to add a dollar sign in front of your number, go into your form and click on 'Settings' → 'Customize HTML'. Find the box that corresponds to the field holding the number. Put a dollar sign in front of [input]. here

The bootstrap add-on works really well too. It gives you options to prepend a $ for most fields.
