Adjust field textSize from other field

Dear Javascript experts,

I'm trying to do this but it is very wrong.

If 1 field gets lower in textSize the other field has to adjust the same textSize automatically.

var pricefield = this.getField("01_pricefield.pricefield").textSize;
var pricefieldxtr = this.getField("01_pricefield.extra.pricefield").textSize;
if (pricefield < pricefieldxtr) {
pricefieldxtr = pricefield;
} else {
}

Already thanks for the help!

Greetings

After your first two lines pricefield and pricefieldxtr are just copies of the current textSize properties. They are not connected to the original. If you want to CHANGE the textSize you need to refer to the textSize on the left side of =

Why would one field jump to 150? Surely it would only jump size if the textSize property is zero?

That looks better. What do you expect to happen? Any console messages?

No errors,

What I expect to happen?

Well, I have 2 fields with an keybord script (I'm translating this from Dutch).

Both fields have this script.

var a = event.value.length;    
var b = event.target;
if (a < 5) {
    b.textSize = 210;
} else if (a < 6) {
    b.textSize = 150;    
} else {
}

If field 1 is jumping to the textSize 150, the other field has also jump to 150.

P.s both fields have an layout script:

var f = event.target;
f.richText = true;
var spans = new Array();
spans[0] = new Object();
spans[0].superscript = true;
var fDollars = Math.floor (event.value);
spans[1] = new Object();
spans[1].superscript = false;
spans[1].text = util.printf("%.0f", fDollars);
And alot more...

Greetings

Thank you for you're reply, but I'm having an blackout here, like this?

var pricefield = this.getField("01_pricefield.pricefield");
var pricefieldxtr = this.getField("01_pricefield.extra.pricefield");
if (pricefield.textSize < pricefieldxtr.textSize) {
pricefieldxtr.textSize = pricefield.textSize;
} else {
}

Its so simple but I just can't see it.

Greetings.
