How Do I: Auto-populate other areas of form from text field?

[Codys_Girl]

Hello. Need help please!

I need to input a script I guess for a user-entered text-field to auto-populate in the headers of the form.  The header is identified by whatever the name the user will enter on the cover page.

Id be very grateful.

If you name the field in the header exactly the same as the text field then you merely have to set the binding to global and no script is neccessary. You can set the binding on the Object palette in the Binding tab. Then on the default binding dropdown choose global.

Going back to this question.  This works fine but there is one section on my form that if I name them all the same, then I cannot select indivual check boxes because they will now all check.

If the user answers N/a this works great as they all check off.

If the user selects Yes.  and fills out a couple fields.  he needs to be able to n/a some of the other fields.

I guess global is not the answer for this particular problem?

For mutually exclusive checkboxes you could use a script like this:

if (this.rawValue == 1){

     checkbox2.rawValue = 0;

     checkbox3.rawValue = 0;

}

This script would be placed on the click event of checkbox1 using javascript as the language. The script for checkbox2 would be:

if (this.rawValue == 1){

     checkbox1.rawValue = 0;

     checkbox3.rawValue = 0;

}

and so on down the line for however many checkboxes that are mutually exclusive.
