adding

[Wissam5FBB]

Is there any mistake in this script?

I wanted to add few variables in a pdf form, but it is not working: (I am a learner)

(this.getField("A").value)*10+ (this.getField("B").value)/3.5+

(this.getField("C").value)*2+

(this.getField("D").value)/2+

(this.getField("E").value)/4+

(this.getField("F").value)/0.227+

(this.getField("G").value)/2+ ((this.getField("H").value)||(this.getField("I").value))+

((this.getField("Text1").value)||(this.getField("Text2").value) ||(this.getField("Text3").value));

Thanks,

What are you trying to achive?

[Wissam5FBB]

just a simple addition with multiplication and division and adding some fields if they are available only (I used OR for that because they are interchangeable).

[Asim123]

What is the name of the field where you use this script?

Are all fields values number or are there text also?

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what is deciding factor between "I" or "H" and between "Text1" or "Text2" or "Text3"?

[Wissam5FBB]

The name of the field is TOTAL, I wanted it in the custom calcutation.

they are all numbers, no text at all

Hi, not sure if you saw my edited post so il ask again. How do you want  script to choose between H or I and between Text1 or Text2 or Text3?

[Wissam5FBB]

those field are linked to a checkbox: if it is marked it will display the value in I or H. the same for J, K, L

(there is no text it is my mistake they are all numbers: so the last line would be

((this.getField("J").value)||(this.getField("K").value) ||(this.getField("L").value));

You can try the script in the Javascript Debugger.

Hi, you can add this before your code: event.value  =

Also you need to add "Number" to your fields like this: Number(this.getField("A").value or with your current code fields J,K,L won't calculate unless there is value in H or I.

Or if you don't know how to do it, just use this code:

var a = Number(this.getField("A").value);
var b = Number(this.getField("B").value);
var c = Number(this.getField("C").value);
var d = Number(this.getField("D").value);
var e = Number(this.getField("E").value);
var f = Number(this.getField("F").value);
var g = Number(this.getField("G").value);
var h = Number(this.getField("H").value);
var i = Number(this.getField("I").value);
var j = Number(this.getField("J").value);
var k = Number(this.getField("K").value);
var l = Number(this.getField("L").value);
event.value = (a*10)+(b/3.5)+(c*2)+(d/2)+(e/4)+(f/.227)+(g/2)+(h||i)+(j||k||l);

Using the OR operator in such a calculation is really asking for problems. If they are "interchangable" and only one of them can have a value at any specific point then just add them up. The result of their sum should be the value of the one field that has a value from the group, and it will be much easier to follow and debug.

You are right, I just added them.

Thanks
