Why is only one action working

[cljacobs]

Hi guys. Hope someone can help.

I have set up a form in LiveCycle designer ES4 and I have 4 drop down boxes where 4 selections keep some extra fields hidden and one selection makes the extra fields visible. This is set up 4 times on the form and all drop downs and fields are set up in separate subforms with different names.

Select from list - hidden

Danish - hidden

Finnish - hidden

Norwegian - hidden

Swedish - hidden

Other - visible

My problem is that the action I ask for will only work in one set. And it doesn't matter which one I choose first.

If I for example choose Finnish in the first and Other in second and Other in the third and Danish in the fourth, the extra fields are only visible in option 2, not in option 3.

If I for example choose Other in the first and Swedish in second and Norwegian in the third and Other in the fourth, the extra fields are only visible in option 1, not in option 4.

I have copied the setup from another form that works, and I just can't see whats wrong.

I found a support thread saying that you can't have more than 15 actions. I tried deleting some of the actions, but it still doesn't work

Script is:

Anyone?

[MinusZero]

The first item in the top combo is missing some code ($.boundItem), not sure if that is an issue.

if (xfa.event.newText == "Select from list") {

this.resolveNode("Person1other").presence = "hidden";

}

if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "Select from list") {

this.resolveNode("Person1other").presence = "hidden";

}

Also, all the combos look for numbers, are you listing numbers or names in the combo?

ie. instead of:

if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "6") {

this.resolveNode("Person1other").presence = "visible";

}

can you use?

if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "Other") {

this.resolveNode("Person1other").presence = "visible";

}

Hi MinusZero

Tried putting in the missing code. Did not make any difference (but thanks for the tip ;-) )

The numbers are the set values for the options. I tried changing all of them to text, but it didn't make any difference. But thanks for the suggestion.

It seems that there was a problem in the original document on which the present was built. Used another form and now it works.
