Custom JavaScript Code for If/Then/Else Statement

Can someone help me figure out this code. I have a field in a PDF that I need to generate a discount based on original price of an item. If Price is greater than 5000 then I need the discount field to say 1500. Else the discount field needs to be Price* .30.

I tried this but it didn't work: If price>5000 then discount=1500 else discount=price*.3

Anyone have some help?

Thank you!

    Acrobat forms use JavaScript so you need to use the JavaScirpt syntax for the proper JavaScript syntax for the 'if...else' statement. You also need to access the field object as established by the Acrobat JavaScript Object by using the 'getField' method of the doc object, 'this.getField(cName)' and then the 'value' property for that object.

    // custom calculation script for the 'discount field

    // establish the name of the price field

    var cPrice = 'price';

    // get the value of the price field

    var nPrice = this.getField(cPrice).vallue;

    // assume the discount is 30% of price

    event.value = nPrice * 0.30;

    // set discount to 1,500 if price is greater than 5,000

    if(nPrice > 5000) {

    event.value = 1500;

    }

    // end of custom calculation script
