Display full name without extra space (no middle name)

[BrightStart Pete]

I know this is simple, but I've monkeyed with it all day.

Form has name fields: first name, middle name, last name, suffix.

I want a text box will will display this full name in other parts of the form - but without extra spaces if there is not a middle name.

Right now I've got this:

var s1 = getField("First Name").valueAsString; var s2 = getField("Last Name").valueAsString; var s3 = getField("Middle Name").valueAsString; var s4 = getField("Suffix").valueAsString; event.value = s1 + " " + s3 + " " + s2 + " " + s4;

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any assistance is appecriated - thank you!

You can use this code:

var s1 = getField("First Name").valueAsString; 
var s2 = getField("Last Name").valueAsString; 
var s3 = getField("Middle Name").valueAsString; 
var s4 = getField("Suffix").valueAsString; 
var names = [];
if (s1!="") names.push(s1);
if (s2!="") names.push(s2);
if (s3!="") names.push(s3);
if (s4!="") names.push(s4);
event.value = names.join(" ");

Try this:

if (s3 == "")

event.value = s1 + " "  + s2 + " " + s4;

else

event.value = s1 + " " + s3 + " " + s2 + " " + s4;
