I have a LiveCycle form with a table that has one cell as a drop down. All goes well with populating the drop down, but when a row is added the drop down in the new row does not have any values. I am populating it in the drop down's initialize property. What am I missing to get the drop down to populate for a new row?

Thanks,

This was most helpful, thanks.

Basically I need to be sure not to use a specific reference in the initialize event or the button click event when populating the dropdown and adding the row.

form1.#subform[0].Table1.Row1.DropDownList1::initialize: - (JavaScript, client)

this.addItem("1");
this.addItem("2");
this.addItem("3");

The row reference needs to by prefaced with the "_" instead of a specific object reference .

form1.#subform[0].Button1::click: - (JavaScript, client)

Table1._Row1.addInstance();

Thanks again.
