Populate Text Field Based On Drop-Down List Selection

Hi Redcoat,



Were you able to figure out how to make the second list a drop down menu?



Thanks, Justin

Dear Stefan



Ref. you post above, I am trying to do a similar thing but no vain. Would you please help me?



I have a form where I have drop down list menu named as "Country" it shows names of many countries then I have another drop down list box with the name "cities" which has name of many cities....



In both of the above fields I have manually entered the names of the countries and cities respectively in the designer.



what I want is that when i select the specific country then all cities related to the country only show up in the "cities" drop down list box?



Is this possible in forms? I am using Life Cylce ES 8.2



please advise

I'm using Stefan's original example which is exactly what I am looking for but I'm having trouble moving the text field to a different page than the drop down. I want the user to select from the dropdown on page 1 and have that populate text fields on other pages. Is there additional script involved?

I'm also trying to have it populate multiple text fields across multiple pages.

Greetings,



I've figured out how to string together different text and numeric fields into a single text field. My question is - is there any way i can have the results sent as a text message to a mobile phone? I simply want to send simple text to a mobile phone number.



Any ideas?

I am not sure this is what you are looking for but this is the script behind the drop down on change event and InsertNote1 is the text field being populated. The text field is also set to Calculated - Allow User Override.



var sNewSel = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);

var bEnableTextField = true;



switch (sNewSel)

{

case "1": // Option 1

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 1 is selected.";

break;



case "2": // Option 2

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 2 is selected."

break;



case "3": // Option 3

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 3 is selected."

break;



case "4": // Option 4

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 4 is selected."

break;



case "5": // Option 5

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 5 is selected."

break;



case "6": // Option 6

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 6 is selected."

break;



case "7": // Option 7

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 7 is selected."

break;



case "8": // Option 8

InsertNote1.rawValue = "Text if option 8 is selected."

break;



default: // unknown value -- do nothing

bEnableTextField = false;

break;

}



if (bEnableTextField)

{

InsertNote1.access = "open"; // enable field

InsertNote1.caption.font.fill.color.value = "0,0,0"; // set caption to black

}

I am trying to populate text fields with the same information, such as the name, address, and phone number. I want to know if there is way that I can do so, without having to use any outside coding. I don't need to populate complex information, just the basic. I guess my main purpose is to have that simple information populate throughout a form without having re-type such information throughout my 4-6page forms. Leaving me with less room for error.

If you are going to set another field's value from a combo box or list you need to use some form a scripting.

Hi how to generate the text field with the selection of an item in the combo box please help me if any one knows
