Hi Niall,the multiple a1.value + A3.value  + etc is working fine (using java)I just have absolutely no idea HOW to call the function Raghu provided and assign the two outputs (UC and SC) to the variables so they can be reused.... thats my point of confusion (for today at least !)thanks greg

Hi Niall,Thanks for that. The reason i'm trying to go to global variables is I won't actually be displaying the output onscreen i will be using the variables to enable me to produce output that then go a custom back end process.so you end up with code likeswitch (this.rawValue) {     case "1":     {...

Hi, I posted a question and a forum user Raghu was really great, and helped to get a working demo going, but i'm still a bit lostthe demo form is attached, and as you can see Raghu has some cool code on the variables to make stuff go ALL CAPS and Sentence caps, which is what we need, and you can see...

works perfectly ! thanks

that's really weird, i'm clicking file, form properties, variables  - hitting the green +, adding name, say "dog" adding value, say "woof" but that does not go into heirachy right.... cant be accessed... i added your code (thanks for it) like that, and it does not stick..... really confused

sorry, must have hit a filter, this is the filethanks

hi Raghu,I tried to reproduce (learn by copying) what you did, so i did this form(attached) but something is wrong, i think with how i did the variablesany idea what i did wrong, i clicked file, form properties named it js andadded the script - but it looks different in the heirachy for some reasont...

Thanks, thats really helpful.

hi, RaghuOne quick question, how would you change the code you have so that the output Uppercase and Sentence, instead of being put into text fields are stored as variables so that they can be reused all over the place i tried changing it likevar uC = this.rawValue;if(!isEmpty(uC)){uC.toUpperCase() ...

Thanks thats just what I was after.
