I am using Adobe Live Cycle designer to build forms and I want to link a drop down box to a text field and I can not figure out how. For Example if a user selects "White" from a drop down and I want that to automatically put "123" in one text field and "234" in another test field how would I script this?? I am very new at this and probably need an answer built for a five year old :-) but I would appreciate any help. Thank You!!

Sorry, I keep forgetting that the article is about AcroForm Scripting. The concepts are the same so the only thing that isn't valid is the actual code.
In LiveCycle you use a "Change" Event script (same as AcroForms) to capture the latest dropDown change. Note that "xfa.event.change" holds the value of the change.
Here's some code
