Hello mathew,
If you keep any interactive fields in the Master page like text field or check box, as Malcolm said you will loose the values in it.
This happens only when you try to hide some pages. because the form will be remerged again and it can bring back the values entered in the fields present only in the body page. It will not hold any values entered for the master page. That is why your check box is behaving wierd. To get more clarity on this, keep a text field in the master page, and on its exit event, try to hide one of your pages on the form. When you preview the form and type the value on text field and exit from it, the text field will become null and also your required page will be hidden.
Your problem solution:
For the check fields you want to have in Master page, maintain the duplicate hidden check fields in one of the body page. Try to assign the checked values to the hidden fields in the change event of check fields and retrieve the values back to the masterpage checkfields in the exit event.
This below should work for you in the events of master page checkbox:
form1.#pageSet[0].MasterPage1.CheckBox1::change - (JavaScript, client)
form1.page1.CheckBox2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
form1.page1.TextField2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
if (this.rawValue = 0)
page2.presence = "hidden";
else
page2.presence = "visible";
-------------------------------
form1.#pageSet[0].MasterPage1.CheckBox1::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = form1.page1.CheckBox2.rawValue;
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Chaitanya
