Autofill text box based on radio button choice

Question

We have tried a variety of methods and javascript and absolutely nothing will work. Ideas and help are greatly appreciated!

Here are two codes we tried with no luck:

var A = this.getfield("Group16").value;

var Y = this.getfield("Text21").value;

var Z = this.getfield("Text22").value;

if (A=="Choice1")

document.getElementById("Text27").value = Y;

else document.getElementById("Text27").value = Z;

document.getElementById("Text27").value=this.getElementById("Group16").value;

#2:

var S = this.getfield("Text21").value;

var T = this.getfield("Text26").value;

{

if(Group16.value=="Choice1"){

var S=this.getfield("Text21")

}

else{

var S=this.getfield("Text26")

}

It should not be editable. The value should be determined only by the radio-button.

OK. Then use this code as the custom calculation script of "Text3":

var a = this.getField("Group16").valueAsString;
var b = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;
var c = this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
if (a=="Choice 1") event.value = b;
else if (a=="Choice 2") event.value = c;
else event.value = "";

If this is for a PDF, then you'll need to learn a bit about PDF forms and the PDF JavaScript model. See the videos posted here to get you started:PDF Form Field Scripting Basics - YouTube
