I have developed a form in LiveCycle ES4 which I then make an Adobe Reader compatible PDF, and need some help. The first page of the form is essentially a data set which has predetermined fields. On the second page there is a button which takes all of the data entered from the first page and generates a written report based on that data. At the beginning of the script I have a dialog box pop up which collects some information from the user, specifically with two dropdown lists and two editable text fields.
I've managed to store the string value from the two editable text fields, but cannot figure out how to store the string from the selected items in the dropdown lists. How can I accomplish this? I'm a beginner to JavaScript and thusfar know what I know simply to create this form, so I appreciate any guidance. Thank you!
Here is my code for the dialog box:
function dialog()
{
var dialogDescriptor =
{
