Why is the value displaying a $ sign in the Tax Parcel Viewer?

Question

I am trying to set up a online parcel viewer with some info for our county assessor. One field I want to show when you select a parcel is the tax class. It should display as 2, for example. As of now it displays as $ 2.00.

This is want I have in the config file

DisplayText: "Tax Class:",
 FieldName: "${Tax_Class}",
 DataType: "double"

Any ideas would be great

Thank you.

Hi Christopher,

I wonder if the application is configured to add a '$' as preceding value for fields of type 'double'.  What happens if you set the 'DataType' to "string"?
