Combining Forms

Avatar

Level 2

I have 3 separate forms Ive created in LiveCycle.  All three forms are very similar.  My question is; I want to create a basic form template with a dropdown and the user just selects the form they need.  Once the user makes a selection the correct form will be rendered within the master template.

I probably shouldnt say template, but rather master page.  1 page 3 different form layouts based on user selection.

Hi,

check out this solution by John Brinkman.

It shows how to create several forms within one form.

Thanks for the lead but this is way more complicated than what Im trying to do.  I kind of figured out a solution that gets me there.  I created several different body forms within a table.  I then clicked the entire table and placed an "if statement" like.

if (DropDownList3.rawValue == "7") then

    $.presence = "visible";

else

    $.presence = "invisible";

endif

This works but im having  few problems with dropdowns and other features that work on my orginal table but not on this one??  Fortunatly the forms I am trying to make are all table/cell type forms.  A full body form with dropdown, text and other features I have found much trickyer.  Maybe thats where this solution by John Brinkman will come into play?

Ok so Im back to square one.  For some reason when I apply the $.presence = "invisible"; it works and hides the form but when the form is rendered "visible"  none of the cells with dropdowns or text fields are editable??? So confused!!!
