Clear/reset individual image fields

Hi,

I'm new to javascript so please excuse me. I am trying to clear image fields on a document. Currently, the user can include an image but if they want to change it they can only replace it, they can't delete it.

I have tried three scripts below -- in both the image properties box and in a separate button --- and nothing words. I can get the scripts to clear text fields but not the image fields.

1.

if (xfa.event.shift)

{

this.rawValue = null;

}

2,

if {this.resetForm(["imageField1"]);}

3.

ImageField.rawValue = null;

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

I am very new to javascript and I created an interactive form with a clear form button. It will clear all text but it doesn't clear the photos from the image boxes. In reading about adding a hidden blank button to the form. I did this but I still cannot get the jpgs to clear. So I'm not adding the javascript in the blank button properly? I need some help.

Did you look at the page I linked to a couple of comments back? It shows you how to clear image fields.

I did but I’m still confused. I’ve never done anything with Javascript.

So I created a document with a Clear Form button and the Blank Button. In the Clear Form button in the properties in the Actions tab I have it set up as Reset Form.

In the Blank button is this where I add the Javascript so that when the clear form button is clicked it will clear the entire form including the images? Or do I do the Javascript in the Clear Form button?

I have two image boxes which I added the javascript of: event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and the box labels are Imag1 and Imag2.

Do I need to add (2) blank Hidden buttons one for each image box?

So in the instructions of adding javascript when it states:

1. (“Img”) for my buttons should it be Imag1?

5. ButtonSet Icon should I type in buttonImportIcon and then buttonGetIcon should I type in buttonImportIcon?

Thank you for your assistance, Hopefully I am clear as to what I am asking.

No need to use a white image, you can just use a hidden button that does not use an image, and copy the button icon from that hidden button. See here for some more details:
