I want to have a list box with ***multiple selections***... I THEN want another text box to populate based on the selections. I don't want verbatim, I want more than just the selection.
Say "Florida" is selected, I want the field to populate "Florida: Where the beaches are nice"...
Say "Arizona" is selected, I want the field to populate "Arizona: Extremely hot in the summer"... and so on for each selection...
I want to these to accumulate.
The custom calculation script of the text field could be something like:
(function () {
// Initialize some variables
var i, aLines = [];
// Associate states with a description
var oStates = {
"Florida" : "where the beaches are nice",
"Arizona" : "Extremely hot in the summer",
"Washington" : "the Evergreen State"
}
// Get the selections from the list box
var val = getField("List1").value;
if (typeof val === "object") {
for (i = 0; i < val.length; i += 1) {
aLines.push(val + ": " + oStates[val]);
}
} else {
aLines.push(val + ": " + oStates[val]);
}
// Set this field value
event.value = aLines.join("\r");
})();
where "List1" is the name of the list box.
