Javascript help!!!

I am trying to copy the numeric value of one field to another numeric field, based upon the Yes/No drop-down field. I keep geting a syntax error on the assign line of code.

var amt1 = this.getField("Amount_1");

var answer = this.getField("Dropdown");

var amt2 = this.getField("Amount_2");

//If Dropdown is Yes, copy //amt1 to amt2. Otherwise, //goto amt2 field and enter //a different amount.
If (answer.value == "Yes"){
var amt2.value = amt1;
}

Use this:

if (answer.value == "Yes"){ amt2.value = amt1.value; }

Even with your changes I was getting a syntax error. The I realized I was capitalizing the "I" in if - typing habits.

It worked, thanks. But I want to put either a space or the number 0 if select no. I made the change but getting a syntax. Here is the "if" statement.

if(answer.value == "Yes"){
amt2.value = amt1.value;
else
amt2.value = 0;
//amt2.value = " ";
}

Remove { and }

or use:

if(answer.value == "Yes"){
amt2.value = amt1.value;
} else {
amt2.value = 0;
//amt2.value = " ";
}

Thank you for following up. I had forgotten the proper use of the {}. It's been a few years.

It works but have a different issue. The timing of updating other field amounts using simplified field notations are off. I put in amounts that should total but lag behind. It maybe a couple of fields later that these do update. It started when I encorporated the Javascript. Do you know how Acrobat processes its fields on a form? Is their a field heirarchy? If, so can you change or manipulate it?  Thanks again for your directions.

Change the field calculation order.

Thank you. I'm having a hard time to locate a book that covers the advanced features of Acrobat DC Pro. Do you have any recommendations?
