var a = this.getField("P_D1NAME").value;
var b = this.getField("C_D1NAME").value;
event.value = a +"\n"+b

My data shows up concatenated instead of being available as a choice from the list.

I have search through many archives but I can not seem to find an example anywhere.

Thank you very much for any assistance you may provide,
Rachel

You have to use either the 'setItems()' method of the 'field' object. Try the examples in the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference.

Hi,

So you want to populate a listbox with those values?

Lets say you have in your PDF form
TextFields named as P_D1NAME, C_D1NAME
ListBox named as LB_NAME
Button named as Button1 (as default)

So this is the code:

//
//Button1:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
//
/*********** belongs to: AcroForm:Button1:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1 ***********/

var a = this.getField("P_D1NAME").value;
var b = this.getField("C_D1NAME").value;

this.getField("LB_NAME").setItems([[a,a],[b,b]]);

//

Question to gkaiseril :
How to make code as separate list in the post,
there was somewhere explanation but can not
find it? It was something like [CODE] ... [CODE]

According to most IT HelpDesk people, the most common reason for user error (regardless of Operating System) is ID 10T.

Have you clicked on the "BBCode" link below the "Quick post" field?

I do not recommend editing through the 'Dcoument all JavaScripts' option.

Thank you all so much!

This is the final code I used:

var a = this.getField("P_D1NAME").value;
var b = this.getField("C_D1NAME").value;
c.setItems(a,b);

You guys are the best!

Sincerely,

Rachel
