    Yep, display.Print is not a valid value. But if it's removed it and the error is still reported, then something else is going on. You could try changing display.hidden to the value 1.  

    But it may be that things didn't change as you thought. Double check it. 

     

     


    Yeah it passed the console this time??? thanks Thom for your help!!!

    The valid options for the display property are:

    display.visible : Field is visible on screen and in print
    display.hidden : Field is hidden on screen and in print
    display.noPrint : Field is visible on screen but does not print
    display.noView : Field is hidden on screen but prints

     

    You can also replace them with a number. They are 0-3, resp.

    I suspect there is an invalid assignment to a field.display property, but you 'll need to provide  more information. 

    What is the script in the "ResetForm" button? Specifically, what code is on line 44.

    Hi Thom; this was there but I deleted it hours ago and still get the error in the console. Tried shutting down computer to eliminate cache possibility, still no luck.

    this.getField("Stamp").display = display.hidden; (kept)

    this.getField("Stamp").display = display.Print; (deleted)
