Hi,

I am using LC to build a form for a non organization just to help out. Just wondering if I can create a drop-down box with showing some fields?

Ex. If I select 1 from the drop down 1 field should show up & if I select 4from the drop down 4 fields will show up.

Please advice ASAP.

Thanks & more power to this FORUM.

In case, that all textfields exist in the form but their presence set to "hidden", you can use JavaScript in the change event of the drop down field to control the visibility.

if (xfa.event.newText == "1"){TextField1.presence = "visible";TextField2.presence = "hidden";TextField3.presence = "hidden";TextField4.presence = "hidden";}if (xfa.event.newText == "2"){TextField1.presence = "visible";TextField2.presence = "visible";TextField3.presence = "hidden";TextField4.presence = "hidden";}if (xfa.event.newText == "3"){TextField1.presence = "visible";TextField2.presence = "visible";TextField3.presence = "visible";TextField4.presence = "hidden";}if (xfa.event.newText == "4"){TextField1.presence = "visible";TextField2.presence = "visible";TextField3.presence = "visible";TextField4.presence = "visible";}

I need a command for LC to show a subform to show. Please also tell me where to insert the command.

Thanks for your help!
