The translate function is a built in InfoPath function. No code / script needed - you could use a rule for this.

Hi Hilary,

Well trouble is I don't have Visual Studio at work- the administrators worry about the security of it....

I'm pretty new to code, could you explain how to use the translate function? I'm using Microsoft Script Editor 7

What about just using the translate function for this? Of course - if you do that and someone opens the form template, they will be able to see the formula and break the "code" such as it is. But they can also save the form as source files and read your .js file at that rate - so using js for this is only slightly better. Can you use managed code? That is, do you have Visual Studio? Then you could use some actual encryption.

swap string characters?

Hi, I'm using InfoPath 2003 (company hasn't bothered to upgrade yet :( ) and I'm experimenting with ways to encrypt passwords typed out on a form. I want to be able to write a JavaScript code that will scramble the letters filled out in a text box when a user clicks a button. I'm pretty new to writing code, my only experience being SendKeys and a few website codes to disable right-clicks, but I was thinking in principal it would maybe be something like

if character = "a"

return "b"

or something like that- I know that that's not right but that is the sort of thing I am trying to achieve. Any help much appreciated.
