Javascript "if else" statements

Thank you for your reply, but it is still not working. Here is the actual code.


if (RepName.rawValue == "Jane Doe"){
xfa.form.TableSubForm.Table.HeaderRow[0].Discount.rawValue = 10;
}

Where "RepName" is the name of the drop-down list and "Discount" is the cell within the first Header Row, within the Table, within it's own subform.

I tried to change "RepName" to "this", but still it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks in advance.

If you do not need the names from the drop down elsewhere, you can set the export value for each entry to the discount amount. This would allow one to use the drop down box value directly. If you have a large number of selections you might consider using the "switch{}" statement instead of the nested "if" statement.

switch (RepName.rawValue) {
case "Jane Doe":
xfa.form.TableSubForm.Table.HeaderRow[0].Discount.rawValue = 10;
break;
case "John Doe":
xfa.form.TableSubForm.Table.HeaderRow[0].Discount.rawValue = 15;
break;
default: // no match found - no discount
xfa.form.TableSubForm.Table.HeaderRow[0].Discount.rawValue = 0;
break;
} // end switch RepName

Thank you both very much for your replies, they are appreciated. I finally got it to work by this means;

var sNewValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText); // get the value associated to the item that was picked
var aInfo = sNewValue.split("|"); // aInfo becomes an array of string tokens from the new value

// populate the ItemNumber and InfoPrice fields with their respective values
RepCell.rawValue = aInfo[0]; // first element is the item number
TableSubForm.Table.HeaderRow.Discount.rawValue = aInfo[1];


but this still leaves me in a bit of a quandary for the "Discount" field. Is there a way that if a certain name has been selected via the drop down list, let's just say "Jane Doe", that her maximum discount value cannot exceed 10 percent. So in this case Discount.rawValue ="10"

I need a way to stop her from inserting a value that is ≥ 11. Is there something I can do in either the drop down list field or the Discount field that would enable a message, as well as change her value at something that is either 10% or lower in the Discount box?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, the drop down list would have a selection of 20 people or so, each with their respective discount rates. Please note, that the drop down list is located in "HeaderSubForm" whereas "Discount" is located in "TableSubForm".

Thank you!
