If Then Else Combo Box

The comparison operator is "==", not "=".

I find setting the "Export value" for an option in a combo box or drop down box reduces the code for the text field to just setting the text field value to the value of the combo box or drop down box.

event.value = this.getField("ComboBox7").value

One could even set the value of the text field by using the "custom keystroke" or the "on blur action".

Thank you! This helps! One more question regarding this scenario...if I were to turn the variables around, how could I tell it a range?

Example:

var rating = this.getField("ComboBox7").value;
if( rating = "3.5 - 4" )
event.value = Outstanding;
else if( rating = "2.5 - 3.49" )
event.value = Exceeds;
else if( rating = "1.5 - 2.49" )
event.value = Satisfactory;
else if( rating = ".5 - 1.49" )
event.value = Marginal;
else
event.value = Unsatisfactory;

Oh, nevermind! I got it...

var rating = this.getField("ComboBox7").value;
if( rating >= 3.5 )
event.value = Outstanding;
else if( rating >= 2.5 )
event.value = Exceeds;
else if( rating >= 1.5 )
event.value = Satisfactory;
else if( rating >= .5 )
event.value = Marginal;
else
event.value = Unsatisfactory;

You still need to place all the strings between double-quotes.

You might want to look at the MDC JavaScript Reference.The numeric comparative operators are

< - Less Than
<= - Less Than or Equal to
== - Equal
=== - Strict Equal
>= - Greater Than or Equal to
> - Greater Than
!= - Not Equal

The logical operators are:

&& - logical AND
|| - Logical OR
! - Logical NOT

Sting value starting with alphabetical characters need to be within matched quotation marks. Numeric value should not be between quotation marks.

So your script could be written as:

var rating = this.getField("ComboBox7").value;
if( rating >= 3.5 && rating <= 4)
event.value = "Outstanding";
else if(rating >= 2.5 && rating < 3.5)
event.value = "Exceeds";
else if( rating >= 1.5 && rating < 2.5 )
event.value = "Satisfactory";
else if( rating >= .5 && rating < 1.5 )
event.value = "Marginal";
else
event.value = "Unsatisfactory";


Without nested if statements:

var rating = this.getField("ComboBox7").value;
if(rating >= 3.5 )
event.value = 'Outstanding';
if(rating >= 2.5 && rating < 3.5)
event.value = 'Exceeds';
if(rating >= 1.5 && rating < 2.5)
event.value = 'Satisfactory';
if(rating >= 0.5 && rating < 1.5)
event.value = 'Marginal';
if(rating < 0.5)
event.value = 'Unsatisfactory';



You could also use the 'switch' statement:

var rating = this.getField("ComboBox7").value;
switch(true) {
case (rating.toString() == ' '):
event.value = '';
break; // end further testing
case (rating >= 0 && rating < 0.5):
event.value = 'Unsatisfactory';
break; // end further testing
case ( rating >= 0.5 && rating < 1.5 ):
event.value = 'Marginal';
break; // end further testing
case (rating < 2.5 ):
event.value = 'Satisfactory';
break; // end further testing
case (rating < 3.5 ):
event.value = 'Exceeds';
break; // end further testing
case(rating <= 4):
event.value = 'Outstanding';
break; // end further testing
default:
event.value = '';
break;
}
