Remove & Spawned Pages

Question

I have a 2 page form with buttons. 2 of the buttons have the ability to spawn a new page when selected. If both of these buttons are selected then the form go from the initial 2 pages to a total of 4. My question is that I have a clear form button that when pressed I want any and all spawned pages remove to reset the form to the original 2 pages. When I enter the script below it will remove one of the 2 pages, but not both. What am I missing?

if (numPages > 2) {

this.deletePages(2, this.numPages-2);

}

Your script only deletes the third page.

if (numPages > 2) {this.deletePages(2, this.numPages-1);}

Ok so I have another question that pertains to the spawn and delete pages. Is there a way to spawn a certain number of additional pages from a selection in a drop down, that could be activated by a button selection. Here's what I am dealing with. I am making a form for quoting construction work. One of the options is to write a quote for multiple trips to the site. If the quote is for multiple trips, then I want to be able to add additional pages for each trip. 95% of our work is done in one trip, but we do have jobs where it can take up to 15 trip. So if I select the YES button for multiple trips, I can get it to spawn the additonal page, but is there a way for the Yes button to activate a drop down and whatever number is selected, than that many additonal pages would spawn to increase the length of the form.

I am in my infancy in learning scripts, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
