Hi,

I need to change the value of a decimal field called field1 based on the selection of a dropdown field field2.

So to be specific the value in field1 will be multiplied by a factor of 2 if "yes" is selected in field2 and by a factor of 1 if "no" is selected in field2.

Thanks

Hi Dimitri,

Sorry but I am not much of an Adobe expert so I couldn't translate that Acrobat example to the LiveCycle designer domain. Is there another link you could direct me to?

Thanks

Hi Dripto,

Crud- I forgot to look at the Product Info again, sorry.

Here is an article on programming list fields with LCD examples-

You may want to spend some time searching the Learning Center here for other JavaScript topics of you are working with PDF forms- there are over 70 tutorials and lots of them have downloadable files with code to examine. Just filter for JavaScript to get the complete list.

Hope this helps,
