Combo Box and text box

[Mike]

I have a combo box and a text box. Text to be display will be contigent
upon what is selected via the combo box. How do I do this?

I put the following code in the text box object:

var a = get thisField("comb obox")

If (a==1)
{
event.value = "Test1"
}
if (a==2)
{
event.value = "Test2"
}


What I am doing wrong?

Re: Combo Box and text box

I have two objects on my PDF Form (using Acrobat 4.0):

Combo Box named Contract
Text Box named Contract Name

After the user selects the Contract in the combo box, I want the Contract
Name to appear in the text box. For example: The user selects 22335 from
the combo box, Contract Name for 22335 will appear in the text box.

I put the below code in the Text Box object.

Does this clarify a little bit?
