Hi,

Can someone please help me? I want to create a dropdown with text field disable when nothing is selected from the list.

Example: They have to select 1 in my dropdown list before they can be able to type in the next field. if nothing is selected the text field will be grayed out or disabled.

Thanks,

Maybe something like this:

if (this.selectedIndex == 2){

TextField1.presence = 'visible';

TextField1.mandatory = "error";

TextField1.mandatoryMessage = "This field is mandatory!";

}

else {

TextField1.presence = 'hidden';

TextField1.mandatory = 'disabled';

Are you sure that you are using JavaScript and not Formcalc?
I think the sample above will work

Have you read Thom Parker's tutorial [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/]Programming List and Combo fields in Acrobat and LiveCycle forms - Part 1[/url]. Make sure you read and download the LiveCycle section and file.
