How can I make a subform conditional upon results of dropdown box?

[mtbenham]

I have a dropdown box. I also have a subform. If you select "A," I want the subform to appear.  If you select "B", I don't want the subform to appear.  I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0.  Am I in the right forum?

Hi,

Example script is:

On cange event of drop down

var newtext = xfa.event.newText;

var

value = this.boundItem(newtext);

if (value == "A") {

     subform.presence = "visible";

}

else if (value == "B"){

     subform.presence = "hidden";

}

BR,

Thank you very much for your kind reply, Paul.  I tried it, but the subform is still displaying every time - no matter what is chosen.

The dropdown box is called CarrierType.

The subform called ForHireSubform should only be displayed if "For-Hire" is chosen from the dropdown box called CarrierType.

Would you mind having a look at the attached form to tell me where I'm going wrong?  I'm an experienced programmer, but don't have Livecycle or Javascript experience.  Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your help.  This is wonderful. It works now.  I will be able to use this code for dozens of forms at my agency.  Thanks again.
