I'm new to Acrobat and to scripting, but I catch on quick.

I have 8 text fields for adding points (0, 2 threw 5) and 5 text fields that will hold the number of times each number is used. My thinking was that every time a user inputs a value in a text field, this function would kick off and populate the 5 text fields. What it does is populate all 8 of the text fields with the same number.

I'm not sure if this script is correct. I'd like some help with placement and code.

Thanks.

My scripting so far:
function TALLY_FIELDS()
{
//INPUT TEXT FIELDS
var STANDARDS_ARRAY=new Array(this.getField("b12c96nfFunction_Rating")
, this.getField("b12c96nfGoals_Rating_1")
, this.getField("b12c96nfGoals_Rating_2")
, this.getField("b12c96nfGoals_Rating_3")
, this.getField("b12c96nfGoals_Rating_4")
, this.getField("b12c96nfGoals_Rating_5")
, this.getField("b12c96nfBehavior_Rating_1")
, this.getField("b12c96nfBehavior_Rating_2"));

//TALLY TEXT FIELDS
var OBJECTIVE_ARRAY=new Array(this.getField("b12c96nfFar_Exceeding_Qty")
, this.getField("b12c96nfExceeding_Qty")
, this.getField("b12c96nfMeeting_Qty")
, this.getField("b12c96nfMeeting_Some_Qty")
, this.getField("b12c96nfNot_Meeting_Qty"));

//RESET TALLY TEXT FIELDS
this.resetForm(OBJECTIVE_ARRAY);

for (i=0;i

You probably meant to do this:

for (i=0;i<STANDARDS_ARRAY.length;i++) {if (STANDARDS_ARRAY[i].value=="5"){this.getField('b12c96nfFar_Exceeding_Qty').value = this.getField('b12c96nfFar_Exceeding_Qty').value + 1}else if (STANDARDS_ARRAY[i].value=="4"){this.getField('b12c96nfExceeding_Qty').value = this.getField('b12c96nfExceeding_Qty').value + 1}else if (STANDARDS_ARRAY[i].value=="3"){this.getField('b12c96nfMeeting_Qty').value = this.getField('b12c96nfMeeting_Qty').value + 1}else if (STANDARDS_ARRAY[i].value=="2"){this.getField('b12c96nfMeeting_Some_Qty').value = this.getField('b12c96nfMeeting_Some_Qty').value + 1}else{this.getField('b12c96nfNot_Meeting_Qty').value = this.getField('b12c96nfNot_Meeting_Qty').value + 1} }

In other words, you loop was not set up correctly.
