I don't know for sure, but I'm assuming Adobe javascript is the same as regular javascript... where all you would have to do is set the value to the opposite of its current state. A "NOT" operator.

I don't know the exact attributes or methods... but I'm sure its something like this: for example:

field1.display = !field1.display
or
field1.visible = !field1.visible

that would eliminate all the if/then checking.

If you are trying to actually hide the 2nd box while the first is check, you will need to add code .... I have done something similar but different then what your asking... I have 2 check boxes (radio buttons). One when checked unhides a text box that allows the user to add data.. If the other check box is selected after the 1st is checked, it hides the text box. Here is the code I used. There may be a simpler way but I am still learning JS.. The check box is named "Replacement" and the text box is "ReplacementFor" This may give you some direction.... ============= var ReplacementFor =this.getField ("ReplacementFor") if (event.target.value == "Replacement") {

    ReplacementFor.display = display.visible
}
else   {
    ReplacementFor.display = display.hidden

}
//  Add color
ReplacementFor.bgColor = color.blue
=============

Brent-

It may be a version difference since I am using 5.05.  I have 12 checkboxes
all named "sls1", and when you check one, then check another the other one
disappears.  It will only let you select one.  Rick is right though, in
theory a radio button would work better for what you are trying to do.  I
don't know why it works this way in 5.05 and not 6?  Good luck with finding
your solution.

Regards,

Justice

If I name the checkboxes the same thing, then they BOTH get a check when I
select either one. This is the scenario in which I am trying to avoid;
having more than one check in either box! I want box 1 or box 2 (depending
on which is initially checked) to "hide" so that 1 and only 1 can be checked

at a time. I get that to work fine... the problem arrises when box 1 is
checked and box 2 disappears (hides) and then box 2 never re-appears...
Thats where I am stuck...
