Select a Item with script from DDL

[mmgiath]

How I can select a specific item from a Drop Down List via scripting?

For example: Name of Item:DepartmantA

Thanks

DropDown.rawValue="DepartmentA"

Thank you for your reply.

I am looking to select the Item of the DDL not the value.

Thanks

DropDown.editValue="DepartmentA"

Let me explain :

I have a DDL_B where items are auto populate from another DDL_A.

DDL_B items: DepartmentA,  DepartmentB,  DepartmentC

Also I have 3 Numerics field : TaxA, TaxB, TaxC   and

a Total numeric field

All I need is a script to calculate the the Taxes... with the follow contition:

if (DDL_B.Item=DepartmentA)

{ TaxA.rawValue=0.5*Total.rawValue}

else if

(DDL_B.Item=DepartmentB)

{ TaxB.rawValue=0.6*Total.rawValue}

else if

(DDL_C.Item=DepartmentB)

{ TaxB.rawValue=0.9*Total.rawValue}

Where I can put also this script?

Thank you

if (DDL_B.editValue=="DepartmentA")

if ( form1.Page1.StateProv.getDisplayItem=="A")

{

form1.Page1.HST.rawValue=form1.Page1.Table1.Row4.Subtotal.rawValue*0.13 ;

form1.Page1.PST.rawValue="";

form1.Page1.GST.rawValue="";

}

else if (form1.Page1.StateProv.getDisplayItem=="B")

{

form1.Page1.HST.rawValue= form1.Page1.Table1.Row4.Subtotal.rawValue*0.12;

form1.Page1.PST.rawValue="";

form1.Page1.GST.rawValue="";

}

else if (form1.Page1.StateProv.getDisplayItem=="C")

{

form1.Page1.GST.rawValue=form1.Page1.Table1.Row4.Subtotal.rawValue*0.05;

form1.Page1.PST.rawValue="";

form1.Page1.HST.rawValue="";

}

else if (form1.Page1.StateProv.getDisplayItem=="D")

{

form1.Page1.HST.rawValue=form1.Page1.Table1.Row4.Subtotal.rawValue*0.13;

form1.Page1.PST.rawValue="";

form1.Page1.GST.rawValue="";

}

getDisplayItem is a method that takes a parameter for the index of the item in the dropdown. Check out Designer help for more information.

Again, to get the current displayed item that the user selected use DropDown.editValue and for the value DropDown.rawValue.
