adding

Question

Is there any mistake in this script?I wanted to add few variables in a pdf form, but it is not working: (I am a learner) (this.getField("A").value)*10+ (this.getField("B").value)/3.5+(this.getField("C").value)*2+(this.getField("D").value)/2+(this.getField("E").value)/4+(this.getField("F").value)/0.227+(this.getField("G").value)/2+ ((this.getField("H").value)||(this.getField("I").value))+((this.getField("Text1").value)||(this.getField("Text2").value) ||(this.getField("Text3").value)); Thanks,

Using the OR operator in such a calculation is really asking for problems. If they are "interchangable" and only one of them can have a value at any specific point then just add them up. The result of their sum should be the value of the one field that has a value from the group, and it will be much easier to follow and debug.

Hi, you can add this before your code: event.value =

Also you need to add "Number" to your fields like this: Number(this.getField("A").value or with your current code fields J,K,L won't calculate unless there is value in H or I.

Or if you don't know how to do it, just use this code:

var a = Number(this.getField("A").value);
var b = Number(this.getField("B").value);
var c = Number(this.getField("C").value);
var d = Number(this.getField("D").value);
var e = Number(this.getField("E").value);
var f = Number(this.getField("F").value);
var g = Number(this.getField("G").value);
var h = Number(this.getField("H").value);
var i = Number(this.getField("I").value);
var j = Number(this.getField("J").value);
var k = Number(this.getField("K").value);
var l = Number(this.getField("L").value);
event.value = (a*10)+(b/3.5)+(c*2)+(d/2)+(e/4)+(f/.227)+(g/2)+(h||i)+(j||k||l);
