help showing and hiding fields with javascript livecycle 7.x

[Former Community Member]

This might be pretty basic I am new to designer and using 7.x Can someone help me.



I have two radio buttons. Once the second radio button is selected I need a new text field to appear using JavaScript. I don't know how to link the second radio button to a new hidden field. Can someone show me an example or how to link the JavaScript to the new field.



Thanks for your help

Jeff -



I am new to this also but I think I can help.



Use the click event in the Script Editor and key



x.presence = "visible";



Where "x" is the name of the field you want to see. Also set the presence on the Object pallet to invisible not hidden.

Nancy what I did was add this code to the radio buttons. I didn't save my PDF as dynamic, that was the problem I was having..

(make sure you keep the underscore - and with the click event right)



form1.pg1.formSection.bodySection._NewTextField.addInstance(1);

form1.pg1.formSection.bodySection._EditTextField.removeInstance(0);



form1.pg1.formSection.bodySection._EditTextField.addInstance(1);

form1.pg1.formSection.bodySection._NewTextField.removeInstance(0);



thanks for your help Nancy
