Newbie need help with JavaScript

Question

Hello everyone,im new to using JavaScript and could really need some help. I´ve created a form in Adobe pro and what i want is the following: If field "Comment1" contains any text user is enforced to pick a choice from drop down menu "R1" and "L1". Is it best to use validation script for this? Or calculation script? I got over 100 rows that i want the same function in, they are named: Comment1, R1, L1; Comment2, R2, L2; Comment3, R3, L3; And so on.. I hope this post makes some sense,Thanks in advance, Adrian

Yes, that is correctOK, then I misunderstood before. Enter this code as a doc-level script:function setDropdownsAsRequired() { var fieldNumber = event.target.name.replace("Comment", ""); this.getField("R"+fieldNumber).required = (event.value!=""); this.getField("L"+fieldNumber).required = (event.value!="");}Then you just need to call it from the custom validation script of your Comment fields, like this:setDropdownsAsRequired();

"Enforce" how, exactly? You can set them as required, but only gets validated when the form is submitted (unless a script is used to validate it during other events). Is that what you mean?

Also, what are the actual field names of the drop-downs? Not just their options...
