check box scripting problem

[Former Community Member]

I have a form where I need to calculate the tax of a certain dollar amount.



line12 is a numeric field where you enter the dollar amount



There are also two check boxes in a different field, checkbox1 and checkbox2.



When the first check box is checked I want it to do the following calculation:



(line12 * 2.5 / 100) the calculated tax should show up on line14



If the second check box is checked, I want line 14 to be blank.



Someone please help, all of the scripting i have tried gives me error messages.

Hi Lisa,



Although it will work with Checkboxes, I would suggest using radio buttons for the reason that only 1 radio button can be selected at a time. If both Checkboxes are accidently selected then you may run into problems (there would be alot of cases you would have to check).



With 2 radio buttons I put the following code in the radio button list, on the change event in javascript:



if(button1.rawValue == 1){

Line14.rawValue = ((Line12.rawValue) * 2.5/100);

}else {Line14.rawValue = null;}



Will this meet your needs or do you need to use Checkboxes?

Lisa,



You can also format the radio button to appear like checkboxes, by changing the appearance to a "sunken square".

Hi Catherine,



I have three check boxes and I want the user to be able to select only any two of them for that i am counting the checked items on the click of every check boxes and if its already 2 then I am setting the .rawValue of the clicked checked box to 0. Now the value of the check box is correctly set but in UI the check box looks checked.

I am using LiveCycle Designer 7 & Form server 6.

Thanx in advance for your time and efforts.



Thank you.
