Hello,

In a PDF form I need to reset form fields via a Reset Button, and after that I need to do a go to label, because reset will clear a few fields that has been populated via a dialog display entry.  I need to go back where the dialog started to get the data again via dialog fields.  Your help and suggestion is appreciated in advance. 

Regards,

Jeff P

Do you mean "go to" as in "go to a line of code in a script and execute from there"? If so, that's not possible with JS, nor is it necessary. You can just call that code once more (assuming it's in a function) after resetting the fields.

yes, I want to go back and run the dialog code to get the data, I just don't know how I can fall back to first dialog it was displayed.

Put the code that displays the dialog in a function and then call that function.

use this code to put the focus on a specific field

this.getField("TheFieldName").setFocus();

Put this code in a "Run a JavaScript" action on the same button that does the reset.
