Question

Autopopulating text fields on different page

Hello -

I am attempting to create a document where the person can select a checkbox for an item (will have multiple items/checkboxes) and then on the Different page, a text field would auto-fill specific words based on the checkbox on page 1.

 

Example: Page 1 is a "to-do" list such as : blood work, xrays, mri, consultation

The person checks a box next to specific items,

then on another page, text field will automatically populate a phrase, one that is specific to each item 

so in my example, If Blood work, Xrays are both checked then page 2 will write out "blood work checked today" and "xrays ordered" etc. 

Also, each text field on page 2 could autopopulate all possible phrases (like in the first test field/row, each autofill phrase could be filled into this area, same thing with the second text field, etc.) But i would also want to make sure after 1 text field has information autofilled, the next box checked will autopopulate witht the next empty text field.

Sorry I know its a lot, may be more simple than I am explaining, hopefully! If making the code across ultiple pages is too advanced, I would appreciate help making the code where all fields are on the same page too.

    Name your text fields 'result1, result2, result3, result4' and your checkboxes 'cb_blood, cb_xray, cb_mri, cb_consult' then place this in each checkbox as Mouse UP action:

    var phrases = {
 "cb_blood": "Blood work checked today.",
 "cb_xray": "X-rays ordered.",
 "cb_mri": "MRI scheduled.",
 "cb_consult": "Consultation completed."};

var fieldName = event.target.name;
var phrase = phrases[fieldName];
var resultFields = ["result1", "result2", "result3", "result4"];
var checked = (event.target.value !== "Off");

if (checked) {
 for (var i=0; i<resultFields.length; i++) {
  var f = this.getField(resultFields[i]);
   if (!f.value) {
    f.value = phrase;
     break;}}} 
else {
 for (var i=0; i<resultFields.length; i++) {
  var f = this.getField(resultFields[i]);
   if (f.value === phrase) {
    f.value = "";}}}

var values = [];
for (var j=0; j<resultFields.length; j++) {
 var f = this.getField(resultFields[j]);
  if (f.value) values.push(f.value);
   f.value = "";}
for (var k=0; k<values.length; k++) {
 this.getField(resultFields[k]).value = values[k];}

      is there anything in that code i need to alter? Is not triggering an autofill into the text fields?

      You need to be more specific. What exactly happens when you use the code? Are there any error messages in the JS Console?
