I am trying to display a hidden barcode when the user clicks on a radio button. I am using the following javascript on the mouseUp event:

this.getField("barcode1").display = display.visible;

But it's not working, and I get the following error from debugger:
this.getField is not a function

Is there any way to fix this?

thanks,
amin

this.getField does not work the same in LiveCycle Designer as it does in Acrobat forms. You cannot use "this" because it refers to a different kind of object.

if all you want to do is to make the barcode1 field visible all you have to do is to call it directly, something like this:

form.barcode1.presence = "visible";
