Text Fields
Definition of Text Field
Text fields are white areas on the screen in which the user types data.
Definition of Cursor
When a text field is chosen, a
cursor
displays in that field. This cursor indicates where
text will be entered.
Characteristics of Text Fields
Unless otherwise noted, most text fields can accept any alphanumeric characters. This
means that the user can type in any letter, number, or a space.
Each text field has a limited
number
of characters that can be entered. Most text fields
have a restricted
set
of characters that can be entered.
Example:
If the user attempts to enter anything other than a number in a numeric field
the character will not be entered. A message will display which reads "Only numeric
characters are allowed."
NOTICE
The alphanumeric characters "|" (piping bar), "\" (backslash), " ^" (caret), and "&"
(ampersand) are not allowed because they are host interface delimiters.
