PDF Form Javascript field auto fill base on dropdown choice

[Marcus25205867tyqw]

Greetings,

I am creating a PDF but having some techincal issues.

Here is an image for reference.

There is a dropdown list named Materials. I would like the Material Price and the Line Total to be set to $58.00 when you've picked INCOMING MINIMUM LOAD 500.

So far i've tried this script to no avail, 

var f = this.getfield("Material");
switch(event.value){
case "INCOMING MINIMUM LOAD 500 ":
f.setMaterialPrice(58);

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check the Javascript console for errors.

It says Syntax error 7: At line 9 when i attempt to insert the code.

The end of the switch is missing.

You can't just invent stuff and expect it to work.

setMaterialPrice is not the name of a Field object's method.

To set a field's value you must use the value property, like this:

f.value = 58;

Also, JS is case-sensitive, so "getfield" will not work. It's "getField".

And using a switch for a single comparison doesn't make sense, either. Use an if command.

Thanks for the input. I've never scripted in JavaScript or any language for that matter. I guess it's time to learn! Trying f.value right now.

To be more succinct, I was trying to change a field based on a combo list choice. Upon some research i've found the solution on this page. Changing another field with combo box (drop down) selection.  Thanks.
