If the form was created in Acrobat, then you can use the 'this.resetForm' method
if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {
this.resetForm(["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"]);
}
or
if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {
// array for field names
var aFieldNames = new Array();
// add field names to array
aFieldNames[0] = "Field1";
aFieldNames[1] = "Field2";
aFieldNames[2] = "Field3";
// clear the specified fields
this.resetForm(aFieldNames);
}
In LiveCycle Designer you can use the 'xfa.host.resetData()"
if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {
this.resetForm(["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"]);
}
or
if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == "Yes") {
// array for field names
var aFieldNames = new Array();
// add field names to array
aFieldNames[0] = "Field1";
aFieldNames[1] = "Field2";
aFieldNames[2] = "Field3";
// clear the specified fields
this.resetForm(aFieldNames);
}
In LiveCycle Designer you can use the 'xfa.host.resetData()"
if (event.value=="Yes") {
this.getField("field1").value = "";
this.getField("field2").value = "";
this.getField("field3").value = "";
// ... etc
}
