Radio button averaging

Question

Hey Folks!I'm a teacher that has recently been thrust into making forms to make the remote part of my job easier. Here is my dilemma:I have 8 sets of radio buttons that have a value of 1-5, I need to add up each set and average them and display the results to a read-only text field After the document is digitally signed. (its a student evaluation form). Each line result doesnt need to be visible, just the result. I have a passing knowledge of javascript so i know i would have to have the signature box perform a script when signed so i guess this would have to be put in there? Plus, if i wanted to make every box readOnly when it is signed, is it easier to do it in the signature commands or ina script? Thanks for your help!

You can do it in a signature field as a script, something like this:

var g1 = Number(this.getField("Group1").valueAsString);
var g2 = Number(this.getField("Group2").valueAsString);
var g3 = Number(this.getField("Group3").valueAsString);
var g4 = Number(this.getField("Group4").valueAsString);
var g5 = Number(this.getField("Group5").valueAsString);
var g6 = Number(this.getField("Group6").valueAsString);
var g7 = Number(this.getField("Group7").valueAsString);
var g8 = Number(this.getField("Group8").valueAsString);

this.getField("Text1").value = (g1+g2+g3+g4+g5+g6+g7+g8)/8;

this.getField("Group1").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group2").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group3").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group4").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group5").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group6").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group7").readonly = true;
this.getField("Group8").readonly = true;

Change field names to whichever names you have.
