Question

Simple Java not working

I'm sure there's an exceedingly simple answer I'm missing, but I can't seem to get this to work right.  All I want to do is subtract 2 from the sum value if the radio button ABCs is marked "NA" but it seems that no matter what I do, it still displays 8.

Name: ABCs

Radio Button Choice: NA

Here was my best shot:

(function () {

    var sum = 8;

if(ABCs.value == "NA"){

sum = sum -2;}

else {sum = sum;}

    event.value = sum;

})();

Thank you for your help!

1. It's JavaScript, not Java.

2. I moved your question to the JavaScript forum

3. Your code has some mistakes in it. Use this instead:

(function () {
    var sum = 8;
    if (this.getField("ABCs").value == "NA") {
        sum -= 2;
    }
    event.value = sum;
})();

    Thank you for the clarification regarding nomenclature.

    Your assistance with the javascript is much appreciated and I can now make this project work.

    I shall now rejoin the ranks of the programming neophytes and endeavor not to darken your forums with further puerile inanity.
