selection from drop down list makes field visible

Jun 29, 2012 11:38 AM

I have two drop down fields, the select in the first drop down field provides the list of items in the second drop down list. When an item in the second drop down list is selected, I want a hidden field to become visible.

 

I'm not sure how to write the script on the second drop down list to make the field visible. Here's the script I have, that's not working:

 

 

if (this.rawValue == "ACD");

 

{

agentID.presence = "visible";

}

if (this.rawValue == "Agent");

{

 

 

 

 

 

 

     agentID.presence = "hidden";

 

}

 

 

 

Thanks,

M.Dawn

    Hi Margaret,

     

    Which event have you used for the script? I would recommend the exit event of the second dropdown.

     

    The script looks okay, but just make sure that the second dropdown has .rawValues of "ACD" and "Agent".

     

    Also check the relative reference from the second dropdown to the agentID object. This may be full enough if they are separated by subforms.

     

    Make sure the form is saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.

     

    Lastly, are there any errors in the JavaScript Console (Control+J when previewing), which would indicate a problem when interacting with the second dropdown?

    Hi, Niall,

     

    I’ve checked everything you listed and all items are set correctly. Would you have time to check the form itself?

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Margaret,

     

    If you upload your form to a file sharing site; publish it; and then post the published link here. I will look at it when I get a chance.

    Hi Margaret,

     

    It isn't published. You need to follow the steps below:

    The link isn’t working for me. I’m not having much luck with technology things today!

    • If you log back into Acrobat.com;
    • Select the file;
    • Either from the Share File menu at the bottom left, OR the dropdown menu from the file name, Click Publish;
    • Click OK through all the dialogs;
    • This will publish the form and make it available to anyone who clicks on the link above.

     

    Good luck,

     

    Niall

    Hi Margaret,

     

    Here is the corrected form https://acrobat.com/#d=D3yZytcriTw0pMp4S232Wg.

     

    You had semi colons after the if statement (which was throwing it). Also I shortened the reference to the agentID object:

     

    if (this.rawValue == "ACD") {
    agentID.presence = "visible";
} 
else if (this.rawValue == "Agents") {
    agentID.presence = "hidden"; 
}

     

    Good luck,

     

    Niall
