Master Page ok button if then statement

Avatar

Level 4

Hello,

I'm trying to have a button on the Master Page do different things according to which part of the form the user is on.

if (xfa.host.currentPage = "1" ) {

do x;

}

else {do something y;

}

It doesn't seem to work. It always does x.  I suspect that since it's really 1 long page (flowed subforms) it's treating all instances as currentPage = "1". 

Can I reference the current subform instead of page?

Is this even possible or do I need multiple Master Pages?

Also, I've been looking at the xfa.layout DOM examples online.  That's not in my version of LiveCycle as an option.  Very strange....

Ok , it was just a dumb error.  When I tested it setting presence, I found out that the next  ok button was responding.  Meaning that I should have remembered that currentpages start off with 0, not 1.

Correct syntax:

if (xfa.host.currentPage =="0" ) {

this.presence = "invisible";

}

else {this.presence = "visible";

}

I see a syntax error in your code..

It is supposed to be double equal sign.

    

if (xfa.host.currentPage == "1" ) {

Thanks

I made the change Srini,  but that currentPage script still doesn't work.

Here's the syntax now (just for testing):

<Ok button Click event>

if (xfa.host.currentPage =="1" ) {

this.presence = "invisible";

}

else {this.presence = "visible";

}
