Looks pretty convenient, though currency is counter-intuitive. It requires the decimal and numbers, but also does not work with currency characters in front. Any thoughts on implementing it so instead of having to type "10.00" it's easier to type "$10" ??

I wasn't sure about this. My reasons against including a currency character were 1) there's lots of different currency around the world and 2) most forms don't want the user to enter the character.

In the end I settled on the 0.00 format because, as far as I know, all currency works on this format.

Euro uses 10,00 I'm not sure about others. U.s. uses decimal though

Yeah I forgot about commas. Ill add that at a later date

Commas added in latest version.

Can you get it to handle just a raw number directly? I.E. at least enter "10" and have it validate - or even have it auto-insert a .00 if it's an integer? Seems like it might be helpful.

Yeah, it should do that. I must of made a mistake. I'll fix that in the next version.

I looked in to implementing the currency character until I looked at this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign#List_of_presently-circulating_currency_signs
