if statement in Java Script

[Chris_Chalcraft]

Hi,

I just want to create a simple IF statement. I have looked at two text books and the on-line help but it still does not work.

I have two fields.

One is called "IfTest"

The other is called "PFValue"

If "A" is entered in field "IfTest" then I want the text message "50:50" to appear in the "PFValue" field. If "A" is not entered the I want "50:25:25" to appear.

The formula I have entered in field "PFValue" is :

ProFormaInv.Invoice.PFValueB::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

if (IfTest.rawValue == "A")

"50:50"

Else

"50:25:25"

But it does not work. What have I done wrong? I have attached the pdf form I am creating which is a Pro Forma Invoice.

Regards

Change the code to:

if(ProFormaInv.Invoice.IfTest.rawValue == "A")

{

this.rawValue="50:50";

}

else

{

this.rawValue="50:25:25";

}

Hello Gary,

Thanks for the reply. That works!

To be honest I find the Adobe site a bit confusing. I will join the forum you suggest.

I have been using Life Cycle for about four years but have managed to avoid "If's" till now. However I can see that I need to refine some of the forms that we use.
