I'm very new to creating forms and have never used any Java Scripts, but I'm hoping that someone here can help me.
I have a kit that has a lot of configuration options. every time we send one of these to a customer we have to type out all the items included into a kitting list.
what I want to know is if/how I could have a page full of tick box selections that someone can go though and easily mark what is in the kit, that will then populate a list or text box?
Many thanks in advance!
There are a couple of ways to do this. A multi-line text box with a calculation script is a good way to go.
Here's a very straight forward custom calculation script:
event.value = "";
if(this.getField("Checkbox1").value == "Yes")
event.value += "Item 1\n";
if(this.getField("Checkbox2").value == "Yes")
event.value += "Item 2\n";
You'll need to change out the checkbox names and the messages. The "\n" is a line feed, it's necessary to put each item on it's own line.
There are better ways to do this, bu

There are better ways to do this, but this is among the simplest.
