Radio Button and required Text

[Guest]

Hello,

Can someone help me please. I never used Javascript and I am creating a form in Adobe Acrobat DC. I have two radio buttons one called DO and the second one called Other. I also have a text box called Other Explanation.

I need to when somebody mark radio button Other to be required to fill out the text box Other Explanation.

Thank you.

I suspect you mean the export values for the radio button group are "DO" and "Other"?

If this is true then you can add the following code to the MouseUp events for each radio button in the group.

"DO" Button:

this.getField("Other Explanation").required = false;

"Other" button:

this.getField("Other Explanation").required = true;

Hi, if I wanted that radio button to make 3 different fields req'd? I used, commas to seperate, does not work. Tried quotes around each, no good..Ideas?

this.getField("If yes please provide the name and address of the patent agent", "Name", "Email address", "Date YYYYMMDD").required = true;

the "getField" function acquires a single form field object. The input to this function is the field name.

You should consider learning a bit about programming JavaScript, and the Acrobat JavaScript model.
