Only part of the Javascript action works

Hi,

I am creating a estimation/quotation form that can be quoted in GBP, Euro and USD. To do this, i have a radial button for each and you select the one you want. In the form i have 3 sets of the same fields with different currency formatted and it hides the un required ones and shows the selected one. I've done this before and it worked perfectly. I needed to do an update to the layout so recreated on word and trying to copy over the custom calculations and javascript however when copied over, only the first bits work - i've tried rearranging it but its the first chunk always, so in the below all the visible work but none of the hidden

this.getField("T1").display = display.visible

this.getField("T2").display = display.visible

this.getField("T3").display = display.visible

this.getField("T4").display = display.visible

The thing is to run your form in the normal way THEN look for errors in the console. It's a vital check for all JavaScript programmers - even for forms that seem to work.

Anything in the console?

Ctrl+J on Windows. Cmd+J on Mac.

And don’t use Word as your text editor for JavaScript, it secretly messes it up. Beware!

    Also, note that if you use hierarchical field naming, you can use far fewer statements to do what you want. For example, if you gave the first group field names like: P.T1, P.T2, ...P.Total5, the following single statement will hide all of the fields within the P group:

    getField("P").display = display.hidden;

    If you were to do the same for the other groups (E, U), your script could be:

    getField("P").display = display.visible;

    getField("E").display = display.hidden;

    getField("U").display = display.hidden;

      Thank you for your suggestions!

      I have renamed my fields into groups (P, R and U), and have put this in each of the 3 radio buttons (changing the visible)

      this.getField("P").display = display.visible;

      this.getField("R").display = display.hidden;

      this.getField("U").display = display.hidden;

      However, when i preview they are all visible still and don't change with the buttons, any thoughts?

      Thanks

      Check the JS Console for error messages.
