Hi,
I am two issues from completing my document.
Issue one:
I need to total a column of numbers that are derived from fields with javascript behind them. I have tried to use the calculation field and have checked the boxeds of fields I want totals of and I do not get an accurate figure. Sometimes I get the message NaN (not a number). Do I have to make this request with javascript and what would it look like? Here is an example of the javascript I have behind one of the fields in the column to be totaled:
var v = this.getField("EDAssign01").valueAsString;
if (v=="HS - Activities Director") event.value = "5,705.00";
else if (v=="HS - All School Play - Director") event.value = "1,713.00";
else if (v=="HS - All School Play - Assistant Director") event.value = "914.00"; etc., etc
I have also attached a jpeg of what the form looks like.
Second Issue:
I have an action set up to "Reset a Form" on mouse up and have selected all of the fields in the document. It will not reset the fields that have multichoice dropdowns in them....any suggestions.
Thanks so much. I have learned a tremendous amount of information doing this!!
A value like "5,705.00" is a formatted number string, it is not number, which is why you're getting NaN errors.
Change the script to apply pure numbers and do the formatting with the formatting feature of the fields.
There is no such a thing as a multichoice dropdown.

It would be easier if you could share your file with us?

As Thom said you didn't format it correctly or to put it simple you were trying to calculate words.
Since there is a lot of data in those fields and to save you from rewriting it, I tried to use what you have to make it work.
See if it's what you wanted:
