What event to use

[mdawn50]

I have a field that calculates a total. I'd like for the total if it's less than or equal to 250.00 to make a subform visible. The end user does not put their cursor in or leave the total field. What event should I use for my script?

Here's the script:

if (this.rawValue <= 250.00) {

    page1.superVisor.presence = "visible";

}

else {

    page1.superVisor.presence = "hidden";

}

Thanks,

Hi ,

Try using calculate event. It will work.

I already have a FormCalc script in the calculate event to provide the total for the field.

I wasn't sure how to add the JavaScript to that event.

In the script editor language dropdown you can change that to JavaScript. But why are you trying to complicate things overe here? What's the actual issue here?

This is a total field for a column of numbers. I'm using a FormCalc script in the Calculate event to provide the total in the field. It works fine.

Now I need to make a signature field visible if the total amount in the field is <- $250. I have a JavaScript that will make a subform visible.

I can't use the click or change events because the user does not put their cursor in or enter anything in the Total field.

I tried putting the JavaScript in the Validate event but it validates too many times than needed. That's why I posted originally.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

MDawn

Even if the user does not pue cursor or clicks in the TotalField, still you can use it's exit event. Put the above script in the exit event of the Total Field, then call the xit event, anywehere you want. Like. TotalField.execEvent("exit").
