Fill a form based on other text field

Thom Parker has an article on "Hiding and Showing Form Fields" that will help you with this at:

Are you sure that you understood my question? 'Cause I didn't find what I was looking for there.

But thanks anyway...

The value of a field is a property of the field object just like the visibility. Since the exact code will depend on which program you use to create the form and upon which field and event you place the code at.

For Acrobat FormTool for the "On Blur" action for the "test box 1" field:

// if this field has a value of 3
if (this.getField(event.target.name).value == 3) {
// then text box 2 is equal to -5
this.getField("text box 2").value = -5;
}

// if this field has a value of 5
if (this.getField(event.target.name).value == 5) {
// then text box 2 is equal to -4
this.getField("text box 2").value = -4;
}

Or one can use the "switch" statement

switch (this.getField(event.target.name).valueAsString) {

case "3": // value is 3
this.getField("text field 2").value = -5;
break;case "5": // value is 5
this.getField("text field 2").value = -4;
break;default:
// any other action
break;
} // end switch

gkaiseril, thank you very much!!! :D

I'm new here, so please don't kill me for asking really really really dippy questions!

I've made a PDF order form.

I have a radio button for them to select a thing called Reverse. If they check it, the Export Value is also Reverse.

I have another field that I want to fill in the price if they check the radio button, and leave it blank if they don't.

I've read all the posts here I could find. I've tried every combination of things I can find, and I'm still not getting it to do it. Part of my problem, I think, is that this is all such new stuff to me that I'm getting lost in examples that aren't as simple as this, or that over explain. I'm actually smart girl. Once I see one done correctly and get it to work, I'll be off and running!

So - can anybody help?

In my clumsy incorrect script, I'd be doing:

If Reverse=reverse, then 100

oh, and I have no idea why it thinks I registered in 1969. I just got here now, in 2009! I was only 11 years old in 1969, and this forum didn't even exist!

It's just a registration issue that we're working on.
