Hi Mike,

I can probably help you via a web meeting. My TimeSavers usage is a bit rusty 
but if I can see what you are doing, I can try to help you with the JavaScript. 
Please contact me off list. Thanks.

Subject: [Framers] Help with JavaScript in TimeSavers Form Assistant add-on

I am using the TimeSavers Form Assistant add-on to create a form. I want to 
combine (concatenate? append?) strings from two text fields in a PDF to 
calculate new text in a third text field, where:

field1=abc    (user enters the 3 letters of text into this field)
field2=123    (PDF provides these numbers in text as a default value)
field3=abc123    (desired calculated new text result) So abc+123=abc123

 From the Form Assistant FM2PDF menu in FrameMaker, it looks like a 
"Calculation Field Marker" is what I need to use to do this. It has a 
JavaScript option, but I know nothing of JavaScript. The Calculation Field 
Marker dialog has a box for JavaScript, with the following label, "Field names 
(enclosed in quotes and separated by commas) or Javascript code."

Can someone tell me what to enter into that box to generate the desired
field3 result from combining field1 and field2?

Thank you in advance!

Mike Wickham
