Help, adding Text to a text field using radio buttons!

Question

Hi guys and thank you for your answers!I have about 8 radio buttons in same group that intent to target only one Text field, so depending on user choice the Text field have a different text, how can I accomplish this using Javascript instead of creating 8 different Text fields/Default Values.Thank you for your answers! I tried:var f = this.getField("Target");f.value = util.printd("This is a dummy text, This is a dummy text, This is a dummy text "());but obviously didn't work!

Ah, that requires a different approach. In that case you will need to use something like this as the Mouse Up event of each radio-button:

this.getField("Target").value = "Some text for option 1";  // script for the first button

this.getField("Target").value = "Some text for option 2";  // script for the second button
this.getField("Target").value = "Some text for option 3";  // script for the third button

As the custom calculation script of the text field enter something like this:

var rdValue = this.getField("Radio1").valueAsString;
if (rdValue=="Off") event.value = "";
else if (rdValue=="Choice1") event.value = "Some text for option 1";
else if (rdValue=="Choice2") event.value = "Some text for option 2";
else if (rdValue=="Choice3") event.value = "Some text for option 3";
// etc.

Adjust the script to contain the correct field names, values and texts, of course.
