Hi

I am using LIveCycle 8.0, and I have a set of 6 text boxes, named the same and globally binded so text entered into the first will repeat in the other 5 automatically

I want to set up a change event so it will change the font color in all 6, but it is only applying to the first field (ie textfield[0])

how can I reference all 6 textfields without changing their names?

Thanks

The global binding only applies to data. All other from field properties are unique to the field, so you need to change the font color on each one individually. If you have 6 fields you'll have 6 lines of code in the event.

EX: In FormCalc

TextField[0].fontColor = "255,0,0"
TextField[1].fontColor = "255,0,0"
TextField[2].fontColor = "255,0,0"
TextField[3].fontColor = "255,0,0"
TextField[4].fontColor = "255,0,0"
TextField[5].fontColor = "255,0,0"

In JavaScript you'll need to use the "resolveNode()" funcntion to access the other instances.
