Drop Down List Help!!!!!

[Former Community Member]

I'm trying to create a drop down list where when one value is selected another drop downlist appears. Each value on the first drop down list should bring up a whole different dropdown list. I can't seem to figure out how to go about doing this? I'm really bad at scripting! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

For example



Provide these listboxs with LC Designer.



ListBox1 (visible, and has items "A", "B")

ListBox2 (invisible, no item)



and following javascript .....



//////

// form1.#subform[0].ListBox1::change - (JavaScript, client)

//////



var str_itemtext = xfa.event.newText;

var olist2 = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[0].ListBox2");

var arrayA = new Array("a", "b", "c");

var arrayB = new Array("d", "e", "f");



if (str_itemtext == "A") {

makelist(olist2, arrayA);

olist2.presence = "visible";

}

else if (str_itemtext == "B"){

makelist(olist2, arrayB);

olist2.presence = "visible";

}



function makelist(olist, arrayitem) {

var i = 0;

olist.clearItems();

for (i = 0; i < arrayitem.length; i ++){

olist.addItem(arrayitem[i], arrayitem[i]);

}

}



///////



Save the form as Dynamic XML Form. (not Static Form)

And open the pdf with Acrobat8.



If you choose "A" on ListBox1, ListBox2 (with items "a", "b", "c") will appear.

After, if you choose "B" , ListBox2's items will change to "d", "e", "f".
