Document Level Function Syntax

[eshrimps]

I have a number of places in my form where checkboxes make another field visible/hidden. I started coding each checkbox with a Mouse Up script:

var pop = this.getField("A1.Text.0")

if (event.target.value == "Yes") { // Is the check box selected?

pop.hidden = false // Yes: make the form fields visible

}

else { // No: Hide the form fields again

pop.hidden = true

}

However it seems clear that the most efficient approach would be a document level script that I can call wherever it is needed. I found this sample script that seems a little more efficient than mine and I'm trying to adapt it to document level:

var showHide = event.target.isBoxChecked(0) ? display.visible : display.hidden;

this.getField("A1.Text.0").display = showHide

It seems like this should be written as a function rather than as a variable definition so I tried this:

function showHide(fieldPeek)

{

event.target.isBoxChecked(0) ? display.visible : display.hidden;

this.getField(fieldPeek).display = showHide

}

So then the Mouse Up event would be:

function showHide("A1.Text.0")

But I'm missing something and I'm not sure what.

Try like this:

function showHide(fieldPeek){
this.getField(fieldPeek).display = event.target.isBoxChecked(0) ? display.visible : display.hidden;}

That worked perfectly!! How would I write it to toggle read only for a field? This didn't work:

function onOff(fieldRead){
this.getField(fieldRead).readonly = event.target.isBoxChecked(0) ? readonly.false : readonly.true;}

No need to use readonly.false...etc false/true is enough, like this

? false : true;}
