Custom calculation script for if / else if

[Traci5F8D]

I have a dropdown box "SHIP" that I have different locations listed. I'm trying to fill in the street address a text field box based on the selection made from the dropdown box. I am VERY new to all of this and am needing guidance from the experts. With the below script I can only get the first selection to appear which is ADAMS. When I select the second choice, DONEHOO, it does not work.

var SHIP=this.getField("SHIP").value;

if (SHIP=="ADAMS") {
event.value="address 1";
} else if (SHIP=="DONEHOO") {
event.value="address 2";
} else event.value="";

In the dropdown list does you use the exact the word "DONEHOO"  ? 

[Traci5F8D]

Yes. I even checked the spelling.

[Bernd Alheit]

Nowhere any space?

[Traci5F8D]

OK I did have a space. I changed it and it worked. I had Donehoo Elementary
in the list and script but I was just trying to shorten it. What do I need
to do if I do have multiple words and need a space?

[Bernd Alheit]

You can use "Donehoo Elementary" in the script.

You should not use the same name for the variable and for the field.

var SHIP=this.getField("SHIP").value;

Why not?

[Traci5F8D]

You are awesome! It worked. Thank you so much.

This should not be an issue.
