Hi all,

Am trying to come up with some JS cstom calc. script for comparing two numerical field values (Fields "A" and "B"). If A=B, then i want to colour this field GREEN, and if they dont match, colour RED. 

 

I just can't seem to get an answer, haven't done any form building for a while and forgotten what little i knew it seems!.

Exactly what field needs to be turned green?  

Let's say it's the B field. Put this script in the custom calculation script for B

 

if(event.value == this.getField("A").value)

    event.target.fillColor = color.green;

else

    event.target.fillColor = ["T"];
