I have several combo boxes working perfectly and want to use the data in them to auto-populate text fields, using IF statements.

ie:
ComboBox1 = "red"
ComboBox2 = "rose"

I want TextBox1 to be populated using this logic:
if (ComboBox1="red" & ComboBox2="rose"), then TextBox1="love", else TextBox2="not love"

Can somebody please help me with both the javascript syntax and let me know how/where I place the script to let TextBox1 function the way I want it to.

Thanks!

What you are asking about is Core JavaScript syntax. For this you should get a book on JavaScript. My favorite is the O'Reilly book, "JavaScript, the Definitive Guide".

How you actually get and set the form field values depends on the forms technology your are using. Is this an AcroForm or a LiveCycle form?

Here is an article on using ComboBoxes, it provides samples for both technologies:
