Index Subject or Table of Contents, go-to dropdown list? (LC ES 8.2)

Hello,

I have a dynamic form which is easily 20-40 pages long. There are Section Titles with applicable questions.

If I want the user to go to "Section III" or "Section IV.B", isn't there a way to have bookmarks, an index, a table of contents?  I can't understand a way.

There is a checklist at the beginning of the form, where the person selects appropriate checkboxes, which then display hidden subforms.

Many edits are done to the form back and forth, and having some type of bookmark would be helpful but I can't find the answer.  I do have a search button but it doesn't seem helpful enough.

Thank you for any thoughts on this.

In the past I have used a custom button with a setFocus function to jump to a page.  I have set the buttons up in a table of contents.  Probably not the best solution but it works.

There is no out of box functionality for this. However you can mimic this using by few extra script lines. Read more bout "setFocus()" method. Using that you may design your form with color blond in buttons to point to the section you want.

Here's a sample script:  xfa.host.setFocus("Sec_1.TextField7")

Section_1 refers to a page in the document.  TextField7 is a text field on the page titled Section_1.  I made the text field as small as possible with size 1 font.

My button is a GIF image within a button field.  I can set up a simple sample to email

A simple sample would be very much appreciated. And thanks to all who responded to me with this fix. I have not gotten the chance to try it yet.
