Dialog box help

[DGodfrey90]

This is a different dialog box, so I'm starting a new thread.

Using the code from the API, I figured out part of the modification needed, but I need one more piece.

Here is the code I have:

var dialog2 = {

initialize: function (dialog) {
// Create a static text containing the current date.
var todayDate = dialog.store()["date"];
todayDate = "Date: " + util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
dialog.load({ "date": todayDate });
},
commit:function (dialog) { // called when OK pressed
var results = dialog.store();
// Now do something with the data collected,
getField("Date1").value = results["dbeg"] + "-" + results["dend"];
},
description:
{
name: "Day(s) Served", // Dialog box title
align_children: "align_left",
width: 350,
height: 200,
elements:
[
{
type: "cluster",
name: "Day(s)",
align_children: "align_left",
elements:
[
{
type: "view",
align_children: "align_row",
elements:
[
{
type: "static_text",
name: "Begin Date: "
},
{
item_id: "dbeg",
type: "edit_text",
alignment: "align_fill",
width: 300,
height: 20
}
]
},
{
type: "view",
align_children: "align_row",
elements:
[
{
type: "static_text",
name: "End Date: "
},
{
item_id: "dend",
type: "edit_text",
alignment: "align_fill",
width: 300,
height: 20
}
]
},
{
type: "static_text",
name: "Date: ",
char_width: 25,
item_id: "date"
},
]
},
{
alignment: "align_right",
type: "ok_cancel",
ok_name: "Ok",
cancel_name: "Cancel"
}
]
}
};

What I would like to do is add a check so that if the beginning date and ending date are a single day (the same day (14, for example)), it only displays 14, rather than 14-14.

It would be seriously cool if I could use a calendar control to do this in the dialog box, but I only need to display the day(s) and not the month or year.

Any of this code I don't need I can delete, but I don't know which of the brackets need to be deleted or kept, as I keep getting errors when trying to do so.

I am going to assume I need to copy this document level script 17 more times to cover all 18 fields, which will each have a different value or be null.

If there is a better way to do this, I'm open to uggestions. The custom dialog boxes do not work on mobile, even in PDF Expert.

I thought about using list boxes for the number selections, but can't figure out how to modify the sample code and doesn't look like it would really work.

Thanks again.

Here's a good suggestion to add a script to multiple field objects instead of manually copying:

As to obtain days between two dates see this mini example:

• https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:bc87720a-6d24-3dba-87d0-1de57e712ce4

The code that I'm using in one of my forms:

var strStart = this.getField("first.DATE").value;
var strEnd = this.getField("last.DATE").value;

     var dateStart = util.scand("dd mmmm yyyy", strStart);
     var dateEnd = util.scand("dd mmmm yyyy", strEnd);
     var diff = dateEnd.getTime() - dateStart.getTime();
     var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
     var days = Math.floor(diff/oneDay);
   
     x = days;
     
     event.value = x+1;
