Text Box Conditional Formatting

[default3o5fhl9giarx]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a javascript that will change the fill color of a textbox depending on what value is currently present in said textbox. The value is auto calculated using the sum of other fields in the form and ranges from 0 - 250. Is it possible to make the text box change its fill color to (for example) green if the values is less than 30, yellow if it is between 30-50, and red if it is greater than 50? It would also be helpful if the text in the text box was still a black colored font. 

Thank you for all your help!

Use this as validation script:

if(event.value == "")
event.target.fillColor = color.white;
else if(event.value < 30)
event.target.fillColor = color.green;
else if(event.value >= 30 && event.value <= 50)
event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
else if(event.value > 50)
event.target.fillColor = color.red;

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I'm pretty much a knuclehead when it comes to javascript, so I'm having some trouble getting this validation script to run correctly (I'm copying and pasting from your message into the JavaScript Editor). 

Whenever I copy/paste and click "OK", the script no longer appears in "Run customer validation script:" field in the validate menu. Are there additional steps I need to be taking?

You are not first person today that say that can't paste code into editor, so I'm not sure if it's something with the forum or something else.Try first paste code into notepad or some text editor and then copy from notepad into javascript editor in acrobat or try input code manually.
