Checkbox script

[BlinkyGuy]

At one point I thought I had this figured out, but now I am stumped!

I have a document where the user completes tasks by marking a checkbox.  When a checkbox is "checked", I want two different text fields to essentially add one and either count up or down based on the check.

Here's what I started with and am now stuck:

FormCalc

calculate script on a given checkbox

if (this.rawvalue == 1) then

     points_complete.rawvalue + 5

     tasks_w1d1_complete.rawvalue + 1

else

     points_complete.rawvalue - 5

     tasks_w1d1_complete.rawvalue - 1

endif

Please help!  Can provide more information as needed!...

Thanks in advance,

Mike S.

Hi,

You don't need .rawValue in FormCalc. Also the lowercase 'v' may be causing a problem eg '.rawvalue'. In javascript this should be '.rawValue'.

In addition you are not actually calculating anything.

points_complete.rawvalue + 5 should read points_complete = points_complete + 5

Good luck,

Niall

Use the change event instead with FormCalc as language..

if (this.rawValue == 1) then

     points_complete.rawValue  = points_complete.rawValue + 5

     tasks_w1d1_complete.rawValue = tasks_w1d1_complete.rawValue + 1

else

     points_complete.rawValue = points_complete.rawValue - 5

     tasks_w1d1_complete.rawValue = tasks_w1d1_complete.rawValue - 1

endif

You missed to assign the value to the field in your code..

Also as Niall mentioned you need to use rawValue to get or assign value..

Thanks
