You were close. When you define a function, you define something that is to
happen when invoked. You are only defining the action, and not invoking it.
Your choices here would be to:
1. Define the function (which you did) somewhere else, and then invoke it
from the button. When defining a function, one would normally do it in a
place where it can be easily used from more than one button (or other
event), probably in a Document Level javascript (accessed via
<Tools><Javascript><Document Javascript>). You could define the function as
(which you did):
function CopyPrimaryInfo()
{
var primComp = this.getField("txtPrimComp");
var shipComp = this.getField("txtShipComp");
shipComp.value = primComp.value;
}
and invoke it from your MouseUp event simply by
CopyPrimaryInfo();
Or
2) Define and execute the function from the button event point itself, as
in:
function CopyPrimaryInfo()
{
var primComp = this.getField("txtPrimComp");
var shipComp = this.getField("txtShipComp");
shipComp.value = primComp.value;
}
CopyPrimaryInfo();
Or (more likely)
3)From within your your MouseUp event by using code itself and not a
function, as in:
var primComp = this.getField("txtPrimComp");
var shipComp = this.getField("txtShipComp");
shipComp.value = primComp.value;
In the last instance, you are not defining a separate action to be invoked,
you are just saying, "Do it".

Subject: [PDF-Forms] copy field values - code assistance

__________________________________________________________________
I am just learning javascript for acrobat, and need help with a button
function. On my form, there are text fields for primary contact info,
shipping contact info, and billing contact info. I would like a button to
"copy primary contact info" to shipping or billing fields.
I have inserted the following code on the 'Mouse Up' action for the button:
function CopyPrimaryInfo()
{var primComp = this.getField("txtPrimComp")
var shipComp = this.getField("txtShipComp")
shipComp.value = primComp.value
}
(This wold just copy the Company name, I would insert additional variables
for name, address, etc.)
As is, this code does nothing. What am I doing wrong?
TIA -
Bill
