Can't select and other option after selecting one option.

[TimoNL]

Hallo all,

I've made a form, witch is very advanced i think, and in this form I used the .mandatory option.

I've an dropdown box, and this dropdownbox controls if the other dropdownbox is required or not. I've turned on the binding and it's so that if you select option 2 the other dropdownbox isn't required, but if you select option 1 or 3 the dropdownbox must be required. Now the problem is that if you select option 2, then you can't change you selection.

Here's the code.

if
 (this.rawValue = 2)
{
     Cel6.mandatory 
= "disabled";
}
else
{
     Cel6.mandatory 
= "error";
}

What is wrong with this code?

greetings,

Timo

Hi Timo,

When scripting an if statement, you need a double equals sign in the test:

if (this.rawValue == 2)

{

     // ...

}

Also when dealing with dropdown I would place the script in the exit event, as the selection has been regiseterd at that stage and you can use .rawValue.

Should work then,

Hi,

Try this one in the change event of the dropdown.

var a = xfa.event.change;
if (a == 2)
    {
        Cell6.mandatory = "disabled";
    }
   
else
    {
        Cell6.mandatory = "error";
    } 

Thanks,

Bibhu.
