(If statement) to insert image based on a value.

Question

I am using AutoMailMerge and I am trying to add a JavaScript to check if a field value is "1"  then insert image in the image field. It's working with this code, but it doesn't do the else if conditions, all exported/processed PDFs contains the first image only (Circle1.png). This is the code:var f = this.getField("Image1_af_image");
if (f.value = 1)
{
   f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle1.png");
} else if (f.value = 2) 
{
  f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle2.png");
} else if (f.value = 3) 
{
  f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle3.png");
}

Okay I chagned the code to this: But it deosn't insert any image to the filed.
For your queastion I get the filed number from a excel sheet using AutoMailMerge

var f = this.getField("Image1_af_image");
if (f.value == "1")
{
f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/MEWA Project/Files/Circles/Circle1.png");
} else if (f.value == "2") 
{
f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/MEWA Project/Files/Circles/Circle2.png");
}

This link contains 3 processed files with this above code with 3 diffrent values for "Image1_af_image".

Hi,

I am confused as to how f which points to a field which contains the numbers 1,2, or 3, and then f is also being used for the buttonImportIcon.

In the forms you have posted the number is contianed in a field called "Number", therefore shouldn't the code be something like :

var f = this.getField("Image1_af_image");
var n = this.getField("Number");
if (n.value == "1")
{
f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/MEWA Project/Files/Circles/Circle1.png");
} else if (n.value == "2") 
{
f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/MEWA Project/Files/Circles/Circle2.png");
}

Hope this helps

Hi,

You need to add a second '=' to your if statements

= - means set the value to

== - means compare

so the if becomes

var f = this.getField("Image1_af_image");
if (f.value == 1)
{
   f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle1.png");
} else if (f.value == 2) 
{
  f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle2.png");
} else if (f.value == 3) 
{
  f.buttonImportIcon("C:/Users/EslamSamy/Desktop/Circle3.png");
}

Hope this helps
