Need help with Livecycle and Javascript

[mrjn0073]

Hi everyone,

New here, and new to Javascript.

What I've been trying to get down seems simple but isn't really simple for me.

I'm trying to create a receipt form, so my table consists of Transaction, Product, Amount, Rate, Subtotal. The objects I'm using are a drop down list, drop down list, numeric field, decimal field, numeric field.

What I am trying to accomplish is in my Transaction drop down menu the options are buy or sell. I want if someone selects buy that the amount field, whatever is filled in is a negative number so as to calculate a proper subtotal and total.

I really need some help with this cause I've been trying to figure this out for days.

Thanks

What you want is really pretty easy. But it would be hard to just show you what to do with no reference to what your form looks like.

I think you need to post some code so we can show you what to change and/or add.

again I'm pretty new to this stuff so how would I post it. Is it easy to post my livecycle form. I don't know really where to begin with the javascript coding. I've been trying to figure it out with javascript tutorials, but they all fall into html and thats not what my end form will be running on. It will simply be a pdf

I don't know enough about LiveCycle to help here, either. Hopefully somebody else will step in.

Simply post what you have so far in the same way as you are posting your question. It would be really nice if you could put code tags around it, but as you're a new poster, maybe we'll let that slide just this once.
