Can someone PLEASE, tell me where the error is in my code;

Here is the error:

SyntaxError: missing ] after element list
1: at line 2

 

Here is the code:

var fieldsToLock =["Name", "Student#:","Email:", "Phone#:", "Reference#:", Authorized by:", "Approved Amount","Approved Items:", "Price"]
[for (var i in fieldsToLock) this.getField(fieldsToLock[i]).readonly = true;]

 

I can't figure it out!

 

Thank you!

You can also see a missing quote - one of the items in the list does not start with "

    Hi,

     

    This line does not need to be in [] .

    [for (var i in fieldsToLock) this.getField(fieldsToLock[i]).readonly = true;]

    I would do it like this

     

    for (var i =0; i < fieldsToLock.length; i++) {

    this.getField(fieldsToLock[i]).readonly = true;

    }

    This covers agianst older versions of Adobe Acrobat and Reader being used.

     

    Regards

     

    Malcolm
