Javasript help

[PELOU]

box1 = 500

box2

box3 = box1- box2

I want the field value from box1 to display and active only when there is value in box2.

The script please For box1?

[Nesa Nurani]

As validation script of box2 use this:

this.getField("box1").value = event.value != "" ? 500 : "";

I'm sorry since box2 already have another script when i try to add this script to the bottom of it, it is not working. The new script that i need has to be in box1

You have script in validation or calculation?

[PELOU]

Script is in Custom calculation

Hi,

Can I clarify what you want to happen.

Starting point of document

[box1 hidden]

box2 has no value

box3 = ????

Then the user enters a value in box2

box1 = 500

box2 = 10

box3 = 490

So the key parts are what does box3 equal when box1 is hidden, as hidden just means the user can't see it?

[PELOU]

I meant to say leave the field blank

Hi,

Then you probably want to place 2 small scripts, one to deal with the show hide and one to deal with the calculation.

In the validation of box2, you can place something like

// this shows and hides box1 based on box3 having a value.

if ( event.value !== "" ) {

  this.getField("box1").display = display.visible;

} else {

 this.getField("box1").display = display.hidden;

}

note: the above does not check it is a sensible value, just a value.

Then in the validation of box3 you can put something like:

var box2Value = this.getField("box2").value;

if (box2Value !== "" ){

event.value = 500 - box2Value;

} else {

event.value = "";

}

 Script has to be in box1

Thanks!!!
