How to change email address when a check box is checked

This is actually a topic that comes up quite often. There are several different threads on the topic. Just search for "email" in JavaScript or Forms:LiveCycle forums and you'll find plenty. This is the best one.

Thank You for your response

After looking over some of the relate threads, I developed this script and put it in the preSubmit portion of the CheckBox2 Events. However, the document is still being sent to the sunbmit button url even if the box is checked. Do I have the script in the right area or is the script the problem? Any feed back be appreciated

myDoc.mailDoc({
var f = this.getField("CheckBox2");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
bUI: false,
cTo: "developpermit [at] vancecounty [dot] org;developpermit [at] vancecounty [dot] org",
cSubject: "Subject Line Text",
cMsg: "Message Text here",
else
bUI: false,
cTo: "developpermit [at] vancecounty [dot] org;developpermit [at] vancecounty [dot] org",
cSubject: "Subject Line Text",
cMsg: "Message Text here",

});

Nice try!! but this code is not going to work.

If you are going to use the JavaScript "mailDoc()" fucntion then you can't use the email submit button because they conflict with each other. Actually the "Submit" button overides any code in the click event. Just use a regular form button.

After that, there are some problems with your code. First, replace "myDoc" with "event.target". In LiveCycle, and only in LiveCycle, "event.target" points to the "Document Object"

Next, code cannot be placed inside the function call. And, since this is a LiveCyle form the check box is accessed differently. The code here is for an AcroForm. I know it's confusing. Acrobat uses two different forms technologies. They are very different, but overlap a little. The code on your LiveCycle form should look like this:


Take a look at this video, it explains some of the concepts involved in programming LiveCycle forms.
