To ensure consistent formatting of fields such as price, price per SQFT, phone number, and square footage on your event registration website in Webflow, you can add JavaScript to achieve the desired formatting. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Identify the fields: Determine which fields on your event registration website require consistent formatting, such as price, price per square foot, phone number, and square footage.

  2. Add custom code: Go to your Webflow project and access the Designer section. From there, open the page where the fields are located.

  3. Create a new script: In the Designer, click on the "Settings" icon in the left sidebar and select "Custom Code". Under the "Head Code" section, add a <script> tag to include your JavaScript code.

  4. Write the JavaScript: Customize the JavaScript code based on the formatting requirements for each field. JavaScript offers numerous functions and methods to manipulate and format strings. For example, you can use regular expressions or built-in functions like .toLocaleDateString() or .toFixed() to format numbers.

  • For the price field, you can remove any non-numeric characters and format it as currency using the .toLocaleString() method or a library like numeral.js.
  • For the price per square foot field, you can use similar formatting methods as the price field.
  • For the phone number field, you can remove any non-numeric characters and apply a standard phone number format using techniques such as .replace() or PhoneNumberUtils from the libphonenumber library.
  • For the square footage field, you can format it to have a specific number of decimal places using .toFixed().
  1. Apply the formatting: Use JavaScript to select the appropriate elements on the page and apply the formatting to the corresponding input fields. You can use methods like querySelector() or getElementById() to target specific elements, and then modify their values or innerHTML accordingly.

  2. Test and refine: Preview the changes in the Webflow Designer and ensure that the formatting updates are applied correctly. If necessary, make adjustments to the JavaScript code until the desired formatting is achieved.

By following these steps, you can add JavaScript to ensure consistent and formatted fields for prices, price per square foot, phone numbers, and square footage on your event registration website in Webflow.
