Need help with a script that allows a dropdown list in Acrobat to show a secondary dropdown list

Question

I have created a form that contains dropdown lists. I need several of the dropdown lists to offer a secondary dropdown list based on the original chopice.

Basically, when a user chooses a department (all the departments will be listed), the secondary dropdown list allows the user to choose a job title (all of the job titles in that department)

Example:

Information Technology

IT Manager

IT Specialist

IT Tech

Human Resources

HR Manager

HR Assistant

I would very much appreciate any suggestions!

Thank you,

Dawn

You need to use a Validation script on the first field, something like this:

if (event.value=="Information Technology") this.getField("JobTitles").setItems(["", "IT Manager", "IT Specialist", "IT Tech"]);

else if (event.value=="Human Resources") this.getField("JobTitles").setItems(["", "HR Manager", "HR Assistant"]);

"]);

etc.
