modify form field value

[tonyp41028259]

I have the PDF form with several fields. I want to set the value of one field depending on selection made by the user in other field. I am trying to use if statement but it does not work for me. I have copied below the script I am trying to use.

form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.Table.Table3[0].Row1.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

if (oField.rawValue == "Service Alert")

   this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "A";

else if (oField.rawValue == "Service Bulletin")

   this.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "B";

When user selects Service Alert in Cell1 I want the value of Cell4 to be set to A and if Service Bulletin is selected I want the value of Cell4 to be set to B.

Can someone help me with the script. I have done a bit of searching and tested verious syntax but nothing did work. I hope someone will help me to have it working.

Hi TonyAus,

Try changing the code to this:

if (oField.rawValue == "Service Alert")

  form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.Table.Table3[0].Row1.Cell4.rawValue = "A";

else if (oField.rawValue == "Service Bulletin")

   form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.Table.Table3[0].Row1.Cell4.rawValue = "B";

Thanks,

VJ.

I didn't think you could use pound signs in javascript?? Pretty sure you can't, only FormCalc.

In which case,

if (oField.rawValue == "Service Alert") {

   xfa.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "A";

}

else if (oField.rawValue == "Service Bulletin") {

   xfa.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "B";

}

You could also try using a switch statement. This is especially useful if you think you might have more than two values sometime.

var selectionType = oField.rawValue;

switch (selectionType)

{

case "Service Alert":

     xfa.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "A";

     break;

case "Service Bulletin":
     xfa.resolveNode("Cell4").rawValue = "B";

     break;

}

Thank you very much for your help, but it did not work for me. I have decided to reply and to send you the form. Could you please have a look on what I have done and try to fix it. I want to add action to Cell1 to modify Cell4 in row 1 of the form, top on the blue background.
