Hi,
I have been trying to change the values in a text field that come in on a form as true/false values when the document loads. I have tried field calculation and format where I change the value, however, those values will not change unless a value on the form is modified first, which did work, however that behavior is not desired. I have then tried document level javascript, however, I can't even get the app.alert to fire when the document loads. I have tried the javascript in several ways.
This is what I currently have in the doc level javascripts:
function CourseSelections()
{
app.alert("Hooray!");
if(this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Career_Exploration").value == true){
app.alert(this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Career_Exploration").value)
this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Career_Exploration").value = 'X';}
else{
app.alert(this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Career_Exploration").value)
this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Career_Exploration").value = '';
}
}
I have also tried (although I think event can only be set from a field level script and not in the doc level scripts):
var x = this.getField("Course_Selection_MS_Art_Appreciation_6")
if(x.value == true)
{
event.value = 'X';
}
else if(x.value == false){
event.value = '';
}
In the first example, you can see I have an alert, and regardless if it is opened on the web, or in Acrobat, I get no alert box, which leads me to believe that the doc level scripts are not running on load.
Any help would be appreciated as I am about to give up on this issue. Thanks
Disregard field names, there are several and I know they are different in the examples.
