Javascript stopped working after flowed containers added

Avatar

Level 2

Good evening, my LiveCycle Designer warriors.

I have a format in which I've done lots of coding. The coding worked fine.

Last week, I added some more functionality in which some items were hidden (flowed containers) with the usage of a radio button.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but now the coding has completely stopped and I can figure out why for the life of me.

Help. Is there anyway I can post this form for someone(s) to look at?

Thanks, in advance, everyone!

Hi,

I dont know if it is related, but i find when something is not referenced correctly, the form stops processing.

When i clicked a radio button in table 2 or 3, the javascript console threw an error. Not on just one radio button, but many. Invoke the debugger with CTRL+J when you preview the form.

I find it hard to look at an unfamiliar form but I looked through the code for the checkbox - form1.Page2.Table3Sec1.Row2.cb16::change - (JavaScript, client)

I searched for Row14 in the code and it references: Page2.Table3Sec1.Row14.cb33.rawValue == "1"

Unless i am missing it in my quick look at the file. That table does not appear to have a Row14.

I dont know if that is causing an issue. The No radio button code seemed fine to me.

I would put it in a dropbox or google drive and post a link here.

Failing that, post some screens of the form hierarchy and maybe the radio button code.

To da rescue.

Holy cow.

When you click the numbered options in Tables 2 and 3, it automatically populates the boxes in the Table starting on page 5.

I'm flummoxed. It was all working perfect until I added the functionality of the last radio button on page 2 (rbStep3 is the object name). A "No" option to that radio button hides page 3 and the subform on page 4.

And that is (yet another reason) reason I roll with the world-famous MinusZero.

You nailed it. That checkbox was inadvertently deleted. And that is what threw it off the entire thing. I put it back and voila... we're up and running.

This is my first LiveCycle Designer form ever so thank you being easy on me.

Fantastic. Can't thank you enough.

Thanks for your comments. I am glad to help. We were all learners at some stage. I am still learning things now

You can make the console show automatically when errors are thrown - In Acrobat, go to Edit > Preferences and in the Javascript options check this box (below).
