PDF Form - Script to Auto Check a CheckBox when the Value in a Text Field is Greater than $0.

[stevenv11980]

Dear All,

I like to seek your help for a script to auto check a checkbox when a a text field is greater than $0.

My script as below but doesn't work.

var TextField = number(this.getField("=TextField").value);
if (TextField = 0) {

this.getField("CheckBox").checkThisBox(0, true);
} else {
this.getField("CheckBox").checkThisBox(0, false);
}

But it doesn't work. Appreciate the guidance here.

A couple issues with your code.

1. don't wrap 'this.getField(=TextField").value in  number() and

2. you have an '=' sign in this.getField(=TextField").value. Remove it.

3. Your code should be checking for a value of the TextField > 0, not = 0.

4. Make sure the text field is formatted to number so that only numbers can be entered if it is your intent to only have numbers entered.

Your code should be:

var TextField = this.getField("TextField").value;

if (TextField > 0) {
this.getField("CheckBox").checkThisBox(0, true);
} else {
this.getField("CheckBox").checkThisBox(0, false);
}

What are the actual names of your fields?

You have multiple errors in your code...

- It's Number(), not number().

- It's ==0, not =0. Also, if you want to check if the value is greated then zero then you should use >0.

And where did you place this code?

Hi try67,

My sincere apologies. I lost touch with javascript and forgotten about double equality. The small "n" was a typo.

My text field is "Text4". And checkbox is "CheckBox27".  I rewrite as below and has pasted it under custom calculation script in text field "Text4" and it is working! Thank you so  much for the guidance.

var Text4 = Number(this.getField("Text4").value);
if (Text4 == 0) {

this.getField("CheckBox27").checkThisBox(0, false);
} else {
this.getField("CheckBox27").checkThisBox(0, true);
}
