How to change a text field value based on a drop down menu selection?

[jelf234]

Hello experts.

I have a simple form with a very long drop down list and two textboxes.  I am using an array to populate textbox1 based on a value chosen in the drop down list, and this works as intended.  Just a few of the values in the drop down list, but not all, should cause textbox2 to become read-only.

Does anybody have a sample script for this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 on Windows Vista 32bit.

Thanks,

Jerald

You can make the TextField2 as readonly by using the Script based on the value from the Dropdown.

if(dropdoqn1.rawValue == "<ENTER VALUE HERE>"){

     TextField2.access = "readOnly";

}

You can change the above script as you need..

Thanks for such a quick response.  I tried the following using change event:

if(this.rawValue=="Acquisition of Real Property ")

{activityTxcdbgEngineeringAmountNum.access="readOnly"}

but it didn't work.  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Sorry.  It works now...I forgot the semi-colon.

Thanks for your help.

If you are using the change event, using rawValue will give you some unexpected results..

Try using xfa.event.newText to get the predictable results..
