PDF form adding 2 values to the same field

Question

I have a form with a tick box that adds a value to a single field when ticked, and zeroes it when unticked.

The custom calculation script in this single field is:

event.value = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;

This works OK.

However I want a second tick box that adds the same value to that single field as well.

But I want it to add that same value, only if the other box is unticked and vice versa.

How can I get this to work?

Yes you're right sorry it's case sensitive.

The fields are now inputting, but when I tick the second box it adds the first tick box value to the second.

I don't want that, it only needs to add one instance of the value.

If the second box is ticked also it doesn't add a further value to the field.

if(this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" &&
this.getField("Tick domestic electrical2").value == "Off")
{event.value=0}else{event.value=516}

You can use something like this:

var v1 = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;
var v2 = this.getField("Tick domestic electrical2").value == "Off" ? 0 : 516;
event.value = v1+v2;
