Fillable Form Javascript

[#1]

Hi,

I need to create a claim form but struggling with the java script to display the correct info.

1. The text box must display the amount being paid.

"Type1" is a drop down menu with 6 selections, how do I add the other 5 options information in the script? This is what I was thinking:

If ("Type1" = "PPC") then ("Text8" = "$120")

or 

If ("Type1" = "APT") then ("Text8" = "R950")

2. I need to calculate the total amount for each currency in the 11 text boxes. What would the script be?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Start learning Javascript.

To get the value of a field use:

this.getField (" field name ").value

I want to learn javascript not sure where, hence asking the experts.

For #1 use the following code as the custom calculation script of "Text8":

var type1 = this.getField("Type1").valueAsString;

if (type1=="PPC") event.value = "$120";

else if (type1=="APT") event.value = "R950";

else event.value = "";

For #2, what are the names of the fields involved?

Thank you!!

The name the fields are:

Total1

Total2

Total3

Total4

Total5

Total6

Total7

Total8

Total9

Total10

Total11

And then it must be displayed in TotalRand and TotalDollar

// TotalDollar calc script
var total = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=11; i++) {
	var f = this.getField("Total"+i);
	var v = f.valueAsString;
	if (/^\$/.test(v)) total+=Number(v.replace("$", ""));
}
event.value = total;

// TotalRand calc script
var total = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=11; i++) {
	var f = this.getField("Total"+i);
	var v = f.valueAsString;
	if (/^R/.test(v)) total+=Number(v.replace("R", ""));
}
event.value = total;

Thank you soo much for your help!!

If I enter thatcode it gives me this error:

TypeError: f is null
4:Field:Calculate
TypeError: f is null
4:Field:Calculate

That means one of the fields is not named as you've specified.
