Make radio button affect tab order

[Bob Fulton]

If a user clicks on the "Yes" radio button they should jump to one field.  If they click on the "No" button they should jump to another field.  How can I do this?  Thanks.

Select all radiobuttons, go to Properties : Actions : Mouse up : Run a JavaScript

and paste this script after editing target fields names

if (event.target.value != "Off") {
if (event.target.value == "Yes") {this.getField("FIELD1").setFocus();}
else if (event.target.value == "No") {this.getField("FIELD2").setFocus();}
}

You can remove the first condition and it will still work exactly the same.

[Bob Fulton]

You mean

if (event.target.value != "Off") 

right?

[JR Boulay]

Yes Try67 is right, this line is useless for radio-buttons, but since it's useful for checkboxes and since I mostly use checkboxes I gave you the script as is. 😉

Don't forget to also remove the 2 associated curly braces.

[Bob Fulton]

OK, thanks.  I know nothing about Java, but I'll see if I can make it work.

First thing to learn is that Java and JavaScript are not the same thing, and that the latter is what is used for scripting in Acrobat...

Wondering how to use this if I have more than two options? Tried quite a few different ways but it either ignores the second get or automatically selects the next button I move to with the arrow key. Thank you!
