Strange manner of drop down list with nummeric items (1,2,3, etc)

Do you use any scripts in the drop down list?

Hi Radzmar,

nice to hear you! Back to your question. Yes, i both use and not use (java) script in the lists. The list with script is just the define precense of a sub form, nothing else! e. g.

subform.presence = (this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "1") ? "visible" : "hidden";

Thanx for your answer!

Do you use this script in the change event of the drop down?
And, is there a reason you need to use boundItem method?

How behaves your form with a script like this.

SubForm1.presence = xfa.event.newText == "1" ? "visible" : "hidden";

HI Radzmar,

thanks for your advice! Its also possible writting the code you suggested! The script is in fact used in the change event.

Generally i would prefer to use the items bound to make sure that the right stuff has selected and not depend on (user) input. I. e. you neednt care about it, just continue with the action (change).

On the other hand, working with item's bound is easier and safer, i guess!

But the problem is not the kind of writting code or use the xfa.event.newText! The problem is in generall the strange manner of drop down list when list item's length < 2. You cant select the right stuff you want!Have a nice day and see you!

Hi Radzmar,

i write you back here, so other can also look at the result of this thread. Thanks a lot for your help! Its great!

Using new text (xfa.event.newText) like your suggestion works well. But you have to deactive the option 'specify item values' in binding in addition. This problem just occurs when you have a list of nummeric numbers and asserting the selected index and/or item's bound. But you dont get the problem by the list items with other typ like string.

Radzmar, i ask for your understanding but its not allow to send you the form.

Wish you a nice time and see you soon!

Hmm,

I tested around and read some articles in the web.
Maybe you change your script a bit into this direction.
