Javascript in Adobe livecycle 8.0

[Tovah137]

I am trying to create a program of sorts in Adobe Livecycle 8.0, I want to make a message box pop up when you click on certain things asking "have you checked for ____", I want to be able to click the "yes" or "okay" and have it redirected to another section of the document. Is this possible or am I thinking way to far out of the box on this one?

Yes, you can do all of those things with Javascript.

Yes, you can do all of those things with Javascript.

Okay then .... how would you do it?

What code do you have so far? You'll have to describe the problem and post your code? If you're completely new with Javascript, read this tutorial.

Hey Tovah, Adobe has put together some documentation on this. Basically you can write scripts in a form using one of two languages: JavaScript (traditional) or FormCalc (more like excel). If you're familiar with JavaScript, stick to that! :)

Specifically, you can check out the following:

• Introduction to scripting in Designer ES2
• Scripting reference / dictionary
• Information on the FormCalc scripting language

Best of luck,
