I am designing a form that if the Yes box is selected then a hidden subform appears to be completed, if the No box is selected a different hidden form appears to be completd.

The Radio buttons are in their own subform
Yes selection should show SubForm - SubFormCAPExInfo
No selection should show SubForm - SubFormPOInfo

I have included the script and the debugger message. I am totally new at this and may even end up paying someone to finish this.

Java script
----- form1.ECRForm.SubFormCAPExCheckbox.CAPExYN.Yes::click: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------

if (CAPExYN.Yes = True)
this.presence SubFormCAPExInfo = "visible";
else (CAPExYN.No = True)
this.presence SubFormPOInfo = "visible",

This is the message I receive if Yes is selected. Nothing happens is No is selected.

The line:

this.presence SubFormPOInfo = "visible",

Ends in a coma and not a semicolon.

You could also have a problem with you field naming because LiveCycle Designer does not support AcroFroms hierarchical naming structure.

I added the ; at the end of the statement. Change some of the field names (shortened). Below is the script and responding error message

Language: Java script Run At: Client

----- form1.ECRForm.SFCAPExCheckbox.CAPExYN.Yes::click: - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------

if (CAPExYN.Yes = True)
this.presence SFCAPEx = "visible";
else (CAPExYN.No = True)
this.presence SFPO = "visible";


This is the message I receive if Yes is selected. Nothing happens is No is selected.

Var f = this.getField("ValueA");
Var g = this.getField("ValueB");
event.Value = f.Value - g.Value;

Error message: missing ; before statement in line 1

How can I fix this?

Since this is a LiveCycle Designer forum, I am assuming you are using LiveCycle Designer to create the form and not Acorbat form tools.

You need to write the code with the LiveCycle Designer JavaScirpt or FormCalc syntax. Also make
sure you spell and capitalize the properties as the program expects.
