Help with If statement

[lc04022016]

Hi All,

I have dropdown box called BERTH that has the following options to select from

"SCPT" "WBCT" "GOR1" and a few other options

I have second field called Berth_Depth that should return a set value based one of the above selections, for example, when SCPT is selected "Berth_Depth" should return a value of 10.0, WBCT should return a value of 10.8 and GOR1 should return a value of 13.3 and so on. There about 20 different options all up.

I have been using a variation of the the following code elsewhere in the PDF form for differnt fields, and it works. But when I transposed it to my "BERTH" field and changed the values etc it will not work. I have no idea why?? Please Help.......

if(event.value=="SCPT"){

  this.getField("Berth_Depth").value="10.0";

}

Thank you

/*script */
var bd = this.getField("Berth_Depth");
if (event.value !="" && event.value !=' '){
    //Nothing was entered
    bd.value = 0
}else if (event.value=="SCPT"){
    //SCPT
    bd.value = 10.0
}else if (event.value=="WBCT"){
    //SCPT
    bd.value = 10.8
}else if (event.value=="GOR1"){
    //SCPT
    bd.value = 13.0
}else{
    //Different value was added ??
    app.alert("Value Error",0);
}

I usually add a value with a single space to the dropdowns to which it defaults so people explicitly have to make a choice.

hope it helps

P.S. I see I messed up the comments (oops!)

The code is incorrect. You used the wrong operators for the comparisons.

Yep, woops x2!

attempted a quick fix

I believe this line is still incorrect:

if (event.value !="" && event.value !=' '){

You probably meant it to be:

if (event.value =="" || event.value ==' '){

Otherwise it contradicts the other conditions in your code...
