Try this:
if(event.value) //The validation is made only when something is entered...
{
        percent = event.value.indexOf("%") != -1;
        dollar = event.value.indexOf("$") != -1;
        if (!percent && !dollar)
        {
                app.alert("Please include a $ sign or % sign with your numerals.")
                // Add this, it will prevent from having an invalid value in the field:
                event.rc = false;
                app.beep()
        }
        else if(percent && dollar) //To check if the two are not present in the same 
value
        {
                app.alert("Please specify with only a $ sign OR a % sign with your 
numerals.",1,0);
                event.rc = false;
                app.beep();
        }
}

As for the second part, I suggest you use the same "indexOf()" method...

I want to check that field to ensure that they remember to include a "$" or a "%" sign 
so that the person viewing the completed form knows whether the number is a dollar 
amount or a percentage

I attempted using field validation with the following code. Can anyone take a look at 
this and offer a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong?

Additionally, I have a script that checks all the fields when a submit button is 
pushed. I would like to have this script also check for the existence of a $ or % and 
require that either one be entered if it is missing.

I want to do this in case the user clicks off the field validtion alert without adding 
the missing $ or % symbol.

How can I modify the portion of script below so that it reequires the use of a $ or % 
sysmbol?

                else if (f8.value == "")
                        {app.alert ('Please enter a coop amount. If 0, please type 
zero or none.');
          if (typeof app.formsVersion != "undefined" && app.formsVersion >= 4.0) 
          // Version specific operation: 
          f8.setFocus();} 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give
