Hi,
I am struggling to get this relatively simple programme to work, and would be very grateful if anyone could offer any help.
I have a form that needs to be changed often, so I am trying to write a javascript that is triggered by a button and sets a series of prompts, like:
varTitle = app.response("Title of Meeting:","Customising");
OK so thats fine, then I need to replace the text field content with that of varTitle. This is where I have problems, I cannot seem to reference the field properly.
I have tried this.getField("MeetingTitle"); and get "null" as a response in the debugger, and trying to change properties of this says that it has no properties.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi thanks for your reply,
I have tried a number of things, one problem is that I get an error "this.getField is not a function", but I can get around this by referring directly to the field, field now as a text field with no caption.
form1.RegistrationForm.MN
now I want something like:
form1.RegistrationForm.MN.value = app.response("something","here");
but nothing will work here, and I have tried everything I can think of in place of .value, all in vain.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

I don't get notified when a new question is posted so unfortunately I didn't get to this answer.
From the code posted above it looks like the problem is that you have a Dynamic LiveCycle form, not an AcroForm. "this.getField()" is an AcroForm function.
If this is true, then the code also has a syntax error. The line should be
form1.RegistrationForm.MN.rawValue = app.response("something","here");
