OK, this is a really small suggestion, but it will help.

OK, so I bet a lot of people buy Doubler off of say, PabloBison, and they type "50000" instead of "5000." And PabloBison has to dig through his logs to see that he has to send back 45k.

So, I think it would be really beneficial to be able to type "5k" and not have to worry about those dreaded 0's :twisted: . It would also save about .5 seconds of time (those seconds add up) :wink: .

PLEASE COMMENT AND VOTE!

on the surface, this seems a good idea, but what about this scenario:

say tda has a piece that he decides to sell me in a private sale.. since we are friends, we don't bother with a ST... he decides to sell it to me for and odd price, like 1001 gold


1k wouldn't work...

it's a matter of coding.. but it is good thinking

Just one old lady's opinion

And this is a situation where you just have to type in 1001, I'm just talking about a shortcut if it's an even price.

I think its good, but aren't sure if it will be put in.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

Why don't we just actually check what we are typing instead of blindly hitting buttons?!?! :?

its not really hard to code 'K' to be a "signal" that the number before it has to be multiplied with 1000 or "M" to be a signal that the number has to be multiplied by 1000000....


but yeh... im good with the old way too :\

well...

isNaN(100k) = true... so you would get an error page... it would be pointless...

The OPer should just pay more attention when sending gold if they care that much about it :\

If you are too lazy to check your gold sending then that is the price you pay...

You make it idiotproof, someone will make a better idiot... right?

As it is now do we also want to suggest alert boxes when placing bids on the AH... cause I would hate that... I am a potion snipper, and acting in the last 4 seconds of an auction is already hard, adding in an alert box would make it impossible...

This really is one of those suggestions where if HCS says, easy to code, why not? Go for it. DA, you can type all your 0's. I'd take advantage of it I think but it's not a real high priority. Also, probably an easy code.

coding wise... there are about 3 ways it can be done... and odds are either way they go there will be problems with it...

The first way is to validate the forum before it is sent... and run a for loop testing each character to see if there is a k or a K... then replacing it with 000 then other validation
function sendGold(val) {
  for (i=0; i<val.length; i++) {
    if ((val.charAt(i) == 'K') || (val.charAt(i) == 'k')) {
      val.replace(val.charAt(i), 000);
    }
  }
  if (isNaN(parseInt(val))) {
    alert('ERROR: Invalid send value.');
    return;
  }
  else {
    val = parseInt(val);
    if (val < 0) {
      alert('ERROR: Invalid send value.');
      return;
    }
    else {
      document.sendGoldForm.gold_amount.value = val;
      document.sendGoldForm.submit();
    }
  }
}

But as HCS doesn't run a pre-validation function... they would have to run one later... which makes sense... cause it is simple to code a function off page that will submit bad data overriding the forum... personally if I coded it, I would have included both pre-submitting code and post-submission code...

Coding it afterwards is somewhat similar...

But none the less... this just seems pointless to add...

OK all, I know it is almost pointless, and I guess it's easy to code as darkarchon said, but it would help all of us slightly so why not?

I have no comment.

I automatically know how many 0's I have typed in, so I never have this problem. And then I hit the ok button with the correct amount sent.
