Radio Buttons Based on Text Value in Loop

Question

The following calculation script works to loop through 20 fields and if 5000 value is present, it will check Choice1 (yes) but when it is less than 5000, it won't check Choice2 (no).var checkboxField = this.getField("CheckBox");
var checkField = false;
for (var i=1; i<=20; i++) {
	var num = (i < 10 ? "0" + i : i);
	var price = Number(this.getField("Price" + num).valueAsString);
	if (price >= 5000) {checkField = true; break;}
}
checkboxField.checkThisBox(0, checkField);

Yes it is the desired behavior. But since you mention it, how would you skip empty fields or apply logic only if at least one field has a valid number? Might be nice to know for future.

You can use this:

var cb = this.getField("CheckBox"),b=0,s=0;
for(var i=1; i<=20; i++){
 var v = this.getField("Price" + (i<10 ? "0" + i:i)).valueAsString;
  if(v && !isNaN(v)) +v >= 5000 ? b=1:s=1;}
cb.value = b ? "Choice1" : s ? "Choice2":"Off";

The zero in your last line is only operating on the first widget of the check box series, so it will check or uncheck the first widget, depending on the value of checkField.  Try setting the value of the field instead of checkThisBox like this:var checkboxField = this.getField("CheckBox");var checkField="Choice2";for (var i=1; i<=20; i++) {var num = (i < 10 ? "0" + i : i);var price = Number(this.getField("Price" + num).valueAsString);if (price >= 5000) {checkField = "Choice1"; break;}}checkboxField.value = checkField;
