Displaying Field Based on Value Range

Question

In my form, I'm trying to display a text box based on the value entered in another field (labeled Rating) falling into the range of 3.5 to 5.0. I've done a lot of research and everything I found says that the jscript code below should do what I want, but clearly I'm missing something as it has no effect. Note, I'm putting this as a custom calculation script in the box I want to show/hide.

---------------------------

if ((this.getField("Rating").value > "3.5") || (this.getField("Rating").value < "5")){

event.target.display = display.visible;

}

else{

event.target.display = display.hidden;

}

--------------------------

Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Your condition doesn't make sense... Any number is either bigger than 3.5 or smaller than 5. Maybe you mean bigger then 3.5 AND smaller then 5? If so, replace "||" with "&&" in your code (without the quotes).

Change that first line to the following:if ((this.getField("Rating").value > 3.5) || (this.getField("Rating").value < 5)){So that the comparison is using numerical values, not strings.
