Dynamic page jump problem

Avatar

Level 4

Hi All

I have been using the following code in a button to jump to a certain section in my form

xfa.host.currrentPage=pagenumber

This is fine in a static form but how can I get the button to go to a particular section in a dynamic form?

Thanks

Darren

In a dynamic form you will not know what the page number is so you cannot use that technique....but you can put the cursor in a field using xfa.host.setFocus("fieldName").

I have seen other people put a small 1pixel by 1pixel field on the top of the page (make the field have no borders and have the foreground and background color the same colour as the page) then set your focus to that field. The user will not know it is a field (because it is so small).
