Question

Is this possible?

I basically want to use a different font, if the length of character is over a certain count.

I would need the javascript code to do the following:

If the length of the typed text in the form is greater that 30 characters, I want to use Arial Narrow, if under, then just use Arial.  The font would always need to be 11 pt in all cases.

After googling around (still not knowing what I'm doing), I would think it would be something like this going into Custom Calculation Scripts, but it's not working for me:

if (this.rawValue.length < 30) {

    textSize = "11";

    textFont = "Arial";

}

else {

    textSize = "11";

    textFont = "Arial Narrow";

}

any ideas what I'm doing wrom?

Look for errors in the console.

I haven't used that before - I see if I can figure it out. Really not proficient in javascript. I've done plenty coding with VBA, which looks kinda similar...
