Checking box checks a second and hides a third

[PLeivesley]

Hi all,

I'm a complete novice, so this is probably really simple, but I cannot find a similar problem listed.

I'm creating a form where if the user, prior to sending to a client, checks the NoFee box this will hide CardYes but check CardNo.

However, if the NoFee box is not checked, CardYes becomes shown (and this is then a required field) and CardNo is hidden.

Can anyone help me?

I will answer your question  using the JavaScript example the Max Wyss posted in the following  thread a long while ago: https://answers.acrobatusers.com/show-hide-multiple-fields-based-on-a-check-box-and-then-make-them-s...

You need a mouse up action javascript in the "Nofee" checkbox.

In edit mode, right-click on that checkbox field select Properties from the context menu.

This will open the Checkbox Properties dialogue box where you will then click on the "Actions" tab.

Follow the slide below:

After you've clicked on "Add" use the code I am posting here for you (or modify as desired):

if (event.target.value !="Off") {
this.getField("CardYes").display = display.hidden; 
this.getField("CardYes").checkThisBox(0,false);
this.getField("CardNo").display = display.visible;
this.getField("CardNo").checkThisBox(0,true);

} else {

this.getField("CardYes").display = display.visible; 
this.getField("CardYes").checkThisBox(0,true);
this.getField("CardNo").display = display.hidden;
this.getField("CardNo").checkThisBox(0,false);

}

Click close to exit this dialogue box , and you should be good to go.

Hi ls_rbls,

Thanks for coming back to me. 

After following your solution I then had an issue when I'd assigned CardYes to signer1, but this appears to be because this changes the name of the field to CardYes_es_:signer1. So when I've replaced CardYes with CardYes_es_:signer1 in your code this works perfectly.

Thank you so much!
