Drop Down Box

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

I have a drop down box with 5 options. 1)Self 2)Spouse 3)Parent/Guardian 4)Power of Attorney 5)Other.  I have specified the item values, so that each option has a number. When the user chooses option 5 I would like another field to appear (which is currently hidden). This is the script I have used, which is not working:

Under the change event:

if(this.rawValue == "5"

{formcompletedby.specifyother.presence = "visible";

}else{

formcompletedby.specifyother.presence = "hidden";}

Under the click event:

if(relationship.rawValue == "5")

{formcompletedby.specifyother.presence = "visible";

formcompletedby.specifyother.mandatory = "error";

}else{

formcompletedby.specifyother.presence = "hidden";

formcompletedby.specifyother.mandatory = "disabled"

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Or is it even possible to do this?

Hi,

When scripting in dropdowns, I tend to use the exit event.

Because the script is in the object, you will be able to use this.rawValue == "5" in the if statement.

Check that your form is saved as Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog.
