Looking for script help

If I have a form that includes a drop-down box with alpha choices A - Z and I want two different form fields to populate a numeric number based on the the alpha choice, what would that script look like? For example, if the letter "A" is chosen from the drop-down, I need the number "0" to populate one form field and the number "1" to populate another form field. It is possible to auto-populate two other form fields at the same time when the selection is made from the drop-down?

 

Thanks in advance if someone knows how to do this!

You can use something like this as the custom validation script of the drop-down:

 

var f1 = this.getField("Field1");

var f2 = this.getField("Field2");

if (event.value=="A") { f1.value = "0"; f2.value = "1";}

else if (event.value=="B") { f1.value = "2"; f2.value = "3";}

 

etc.

You need to provide more details. What does "doesn't seem to be working" means, exactly?

Does something happen at all when you change the value of the drop-down field? If so, is it incorrect? Are there any error messages in the JS Console? etc.
