Requirements

The Editor field requires the JQuery Price Format to be loaded ahead of its use.

Be sure to load lib/jquery-price-format2/jquery.price_format.min.js before rendering your forms. You can download JQuery Price Format from jquerypriceformat.com.

JQuery Price Format overwrites the unmask method of the JQuery Masked Input plugin. If you want to use JQuery Masked Input you should load the price format plugin before you load the masked input plugin.

Example 1
