Javascript - Calculating taxes

[charlottew60631144]

Hi,

Im trying to create a PDFElement form that will calculate taxes only for either PA(1.06%) or Philadelphia, PA (1.08%), PA; not for MD or DE. I have a combo drop down box that I am trying to link it to. I cant figure out how to add the city part (a text box) into the equation.  This is what I have so far, but I am totally new, so it might be all wrong.

var fTaxRate; // variable for tax rate

switch(this.getField('Combo Box1').value) {

case 'PA': // Pensylvania

fTaxRate = 0.0106; // tax rate for this state

break; // skip the rest of the test 

case 'DE': // Delaware

case 'MD': // Maryland

default: // all other states

fTaxRate = 0;

} // end switch

 // compute tax rate times the sum of subtotal 1event.value = fTaxRate * (this.getField('Text Box45').value);

What is a PDFElement form? This forum is for questions about Adobe products....

Assuming this is indeed a PDF file, you didn't really explain how the city value comes into play in the calculation...

Hi,

Should I add 

case 'Philadelphia': // Philapelphia
case 'PA': // Pensylvania

fTaxRate = 0.0108; // tax rate for this city

Sorry completely new.  This is a PDF file.  I thought Adobe owned PDFElement.  Ill have to research that more.

Thank you

 PDFElement is not a Adobe product.

Hi All, 

I thought PDFElement was apart of Adobe?  Am I wrong?

Thank you

Adobe never had such a product, as far as I'm aware.
