mandatory enabling/disabling with Checkbox

The legal values for the "mandatory" property are "warning", "error", or "disabled". To get your code to work change "enabled" to "error".

Thom - Thanks so much!
I have a few good starting references for LiveCycle, including the Live Cycle Designer Scripting Basics from the adobe site, and some others from the devnet site, but I don't have anything that gives legal values in a single reference - can you suggest anything?
All the best,
Pat

Do you have the "XML Form Object Model Reference?":
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/topic.php

This doc is mandatory for working with LC forms, but it doesn't provide all the legal values for the object properties. The document is not really put together too well. So I find this stuff out through a combination of looking at all the reference docs and experimentation. I just create a form with several different variations of form fields and see what value "mandatory" returns.

BTW: If you look inside the form XML there isn't a property named "mandatory". This is just a scripting convenience. Under the covers mandatory is really the "scriptTest" attribute of the "Validate" property.

Thanks again, Thom. I always enjoy your material on here - I bet I've watched your "Extending with JavaScript and FormCalc" eseminar a half dozen times. Love your website, too. Maybe someday I can afford full membership :)
