Javascript does not save on reader form

Okay I have another problem for my great forum helpers.

I have a form that I have created in livecycle version 9 (I really don't like what adobe did to X and up) that has java script in it, so when you select certain radio dials and drop downs, they popluate different items on the form or add different verbiage. I have also exented the form in adobe reader.  If a user fills out the form and then saves it, I am assuming in reader X or less, the information that populated into the form with the java script disappears and the drop downs don't look right.  Now if they select the radio dials again everything works.  but they have to reselect.  So i read the following tutorial http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript and though okay it is because they need to have version XI in order for the java to save correctly.  But when I open the doc in reader XI it tells me I cannot save a filled out form? 

Now I am lost.  Let me know what I can do so that the users can save the form and not have to reselect the information.

Thanks!
