it's work fine in dropdown field.. thank you try67

I prefer to list-box. Is there a way to make it work like dropdown field?

A list-box is a bit trickier. If you do want to use it, enable the option to commit the selected value immediately and use this code under Selection Change:

if (!event.willCommit) {
	var selectedValue = event.change;
	if (selectedValue == "text1") this.pageNum = 23;
	else if (selectedValue == "text2") this.pageNum = 23;
	else if (selectedValue == "text3") this.pageNum = 26;	
}

You can do it like this ( as validation script of dropdown field):

if(event.value == "Choice1") this.pageNum = 1;
else if(event.value == "Choice2") this.pageNum = 3;

Just keep in mind pages starts with 0, so you always need to set one number lower, for example to go to page 5 set it to 4.
