I'm using Designer 7.0, and have tried to enter a javascript calculation event for a check box field. The purpose is to calculate a 10% penalty for late remittance. I was able to use the following statement:
if (this.rawValue == true)
{Penalty.rawValue = 10;}
else {Penalty.rawValue = 0;}
 
It seems like this syntax only works for constant values, not calculated amounts (I tried calculating 10% of the remittance amount (Penalty.rawValue = remittanceamount/10), but that didn't work. I appreciate any feedback that you may have.

I think you have a couple of issues. First. Your script should be in the Click event for the checkbox. The calculate event is called every time any field on the form changes.

If "remittanceamount" is the name of a field then the value of "remittanceamount" is

remittanceamount.rawValue;

This is the issue with the calculation.
