Text Box-DataType Decimal and format does not function on browser

[mzam]

I have a Text Box in my browser enabled InfoPath form set up as follows:
DataType = Decimal(double)
Format = Number, decimal 2 places and use a digit grouping symbol(,)

When I open the form in Infopath as soon as I type a number and change focus
the format is set. When I use the same form in the browser the format does
not take place when I change focus. It will only do it if in the postback
settings I always send data to the server when the control value changes.

I want to avoid going to the server back and forth since I have several
fields like this and it would be very annoying for the user having to wait
for a couple of seconds every time they change the values. Is there a work
around for this?

Regards,
mzam

Hi,
I have verified this in the browser enabled form and it is working fine.
Make sure that the Always radio button is selected in browser forms tab of
the text box properties. Once go through the following link for more
information.

Hi Swathi,

I do not want to postback to the server everytime one of these values change

When I change focus the 2 decimal places are formatted without posting back,
why isn't the comma separator also formatted?
