What can be done in the situation where the user does in fact enter a decimal point in the textbox while entering in the amount? In that situation, the amount still gets divided by 100. ex: Enter 1500 and get 15.00(good) but enter 15.00 and then you get .15(not good)

Check the syntax to be sure, but roughly:

llDecimal = AT(str(this.value),".") > 0
IF NOT llDecimal
this.value = this.value / 100
ENDIF

(Look at AT particularily. I get that backwards a lot)
