From examples in this forum, I have used this.getField("field name").value and event.value. Is there a good place to find all the available variables for different structures (e.g. event, this)?

Thanks,

Hap

It is possible to enumerate the fields with JavaScript, but not any variables, as these can change with were one is testing for this information because of the scope of the variable.

Okay. But, how can I get a list of available fields for each structure?

An example from the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference, this can not be used in LiveCycle Designer:

// Enumerate through all of the fields in the document.
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)
console.println("Field[" + i + "] = " + this.getNthFieldName(i));
