drop-down name = my_drop_down

data binded with my_data

caption = my_caption

For some, reason, some one has given me this objects (my_drop_down)... i want to figure it out that Whether its a drop-down type of object or a check box or a text field? How can i figure it out PROGRAMITICALLY/Java script?

Click on the object and look at your object palette.  Click on the Field tab.

LiveCycle will identify object type and display it in the window.

Hi,

You can write in the 'exit' event of the field and it will give the name of the field type, which you can use and refine your code further.

app.alert(this.ui.oneOfChild.className);

Hope this helps.
