Help: Subform does not hide in Acrobat

Maybe a typical newbie problem, but...



I try to create an expandable section in a PDF form using Designer 7. The

dynamic section is a number of text and interactive form fields that are all

placed within a subform named "MySubform". My idea is to have a checkbox

"MyCheckbox" that controls visibility of the dynamic section.



I tried the following code in the MyCheckbox::change script (JavaScript,

client-side):



if (this.rawValue == 1)

MySubform.presence = "visible";

else

MySubform.presence = "hidden";



What I experience is that when I preview the PDF form in Designer or when I

open the PDF with Acrobat 7, the subform is *always* displayed regardless of

the checkbox value. When I query the subform's presence attribute, I see

that is is correctly set to "hidden" by the above script, but Acrobat 7

seems to ignore the "hidden" setting.



What am I doing wrong?
