Stopping a total from displaying a zero until there is something to total

[Jono_Moore]

I'm using the script below for totalling some fields. When the fields to total are empty, the total field displays a zero. I'd like to stop it from displaying the zero.



var fields = xfa.resolveNodes("ApplicantTotalGross[*]");

var total = 0;

for (var i=0; i <= fields.length-1; i++) {

total = total + fields.item(i).rawValue;

}

this.rawValue = total;

In the Pattern/Display tab on the Object palette for the field there is a checkbox that allows you to define how you want to display zero values. You will want to check the allow empty option.

Thanks!



I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't track it down...

I think this might help me with a form to hide 0 values from being visible.. but can you tell me if it is for Adobe Livecycle? I do not recognize the script. If it is for Livecycle would it go in the Calculate area?

The script is javascript for Livecycle.



But the fix for displaying the zero or not is what Paul posted - except it was actually the "Allow Zero" checkbox that did the trick.
