Is there a way using JavaScript to force a currency field to only accept positive values?

One option is to convert the negative number to a positive number. For that, you can use Math.abs(value). If you want the negative number to just be reset to 0, then you can use Math.max(0, value).

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('.absvalue input').change(function() {
    $('.absvalue input').val(Math.abs($(this).val()));
  });
  
  $('.zerovalue input').change(function() {
    $('.zerovalue input').val(Math.max(0,$(this).val()));
  });
});
2 0

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#q10 input").change(function (){
    if ($(this).val() > 0) {
        $("#q10 div").append("<div id='errorbox-2' class='ws-errorbox' style='display: block;'><p class='ws-errormessage'>Value must be less than or equal to $50,000.</p></div>");
        $(this).addClass("user-error");
        $(this).removeClass("user-success");
    } else {
     $("#errorbox-2").remove()
     $(this).removeClass("user-error"); 
     $(this).addClass("user-success");

    }
  });
});

Kinda sloppy but an idea that piggy backs off the existing error displays.

 

I had to build one just now to constraint a currency field to be < 50000 .

Bleh, it's still buggy. Will update thread when resolved.
