1) I have been trying to validate a field for weeks, but cannot get it done correctly. True, I am not a PERL programmer, but I've read several pages and articles, yet, still experience problems. Most important problem: in the PERL expression, you often use either the forward- or the back-slash. When I input a copied expression (people on the CHRONOFORMS forum helped me with an expression for what I need), I would save the field, BUT, when I go into it again, some of the slashes are simply MISSING. This means, that when I edit that field for whatever reason, I have to remember to RE INSERT the slashes before saving, else the validation does not work.
Additionally, even though folks have helped me with some expressions, I cannot find a simple example of a PERL expression to allow users to input a financial value as follows:

350.25
or 1,225.67
or 3,450,231.88

I would like simply to allow folks to enter any of the three above formats, BUT ONLY those, yet, all the expressions I've tried BIND you to the FULL 6 chacters of the second example, THUS, someone who DOES NOT have to enter "thousands", cannot enter their amount, since the expression FORCES thousands. Same with thousands and hundreds if you setup for millions. I would like to give folks the option to enter hundreds, thousands OR millions, BUT, it MUST be in the format with comma-separation and the period before the cents.

2) I am still having trouble with the ordering of the fields in my registration form. I am assigning the fields to the display tabs as needed, and prioritizing them with the numbers at the very right of the list-display of all fields, YET, they still don't always go where I want them in the order on the registration form. Where could I read instructions on this. Have searched the articles and the forum...no joy!

3) How in heck do you DELETE a value from a single-select drop-down list filed?! Once a value is ADDED, it appears you can NEVER delete it. Deleting the text inside the value only causes an error to display that it REQUIRES a value. Now I have too many values, and can't get them removed?

Whoops, I said three, but just remembered the fourth!

4) I am importing a list of cities into a drop-down single-select field. The cities are alphabetised, and I will use the import instructions as found here: www.joomlapolis.com/support/articles/10208 - no problem, BUT, I have a continuation question:

The cities are obviously all in different provinces (counties/states if you will). I have grouped them by province, BUT would like to ADD the province name above each different group of cities. YET, the province should NOT be selectable. If I simply add the province to the top of the list, it will be part of the SELECTABLE values, which renders it useless. I need the province to be simply a "title" in the list, and below it the selectable cities.

Thanks for any help.

Much appreciated.

Ok, one major thing is, I'm not on 1.3.1 yet, so I think I'll upgrade first, and then reply here again if required.

I have the same problem and use CB 1.4
(Firefox and Google Chrome)

I cannot save/apply, the message comes: Value: This field is requiered
So it looks like a javascript checking problem ...

Can someone help here?
