I'm working with the file MTA Mock Up.pdf

I can't get the "Incoming" SubForm to display when you select
"Incoming" from the radio button.

This is like 101 stuff but it's killed 2 hours for me.

This might be a bug. I will confer internally.

Darius:

For the life of me I could not get it to make a subForm visible but I did get it to make a text field visible.  See attached form.
 
form1.#subform[0].RadioButtonList::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
  this.resolveNode("Text2").presence = "visible";
}

I must be missing something on subform properties.

Duane

D’oh!!!

The solution was too simple.  The subform was not enclosing the text.  Try this one – it works.

I'm not seeing what you mean by " The subform was not enclosing the
text. "

I think the problem was that the subform was actually becoming visible
but it had no visible children on it. The structure was as follows:

- subform
-(referenced Objects)
- text

all on the same node.

To make it work like the sample I sent, I had to just move the text
inside the subform. The attached PDF form has the behavior you want
yes?

- subform
- text
-(referenced Objects)

Your form was also saved as a static PDF form.

No, I had the text box inside the subform I was trying to make
visible.

Your form mostly works the way I want it to, but you're using script I
don't recognize, I'll email the form I made last year that I'm basing
this new one off of. It works perfectly, it's probably messy
scriptwise though.

I used Designer 9.0.  It has this really cool new feature called “Action Builder” which makes scripting way easier.    The source is really weird though as you noticed.

no. I just recommend it. It makes scripting way easier (using ES2
Designer). It is not required though.

Is anyone still using LC 8? I really need to sort out this problem,
using the script in the form I uploaded, it would be best if someone
could actually modify the form I uploaded and sort out what is broken
there.

YAY! I sorted it out. The problem was the thing you mentioned
earlier, it was saved as a Static PDF form. I thought I changed it to
dynamic everywhere in the "Preview" settings, but the "Save As" also
had to be switched. I'm an idiot.....

And I check my email, to find out Thierry Stortenbeker had already
found my problem, 22 minutes sooner than I did. Thanks Theirry, and
Duane.

Not an idiot - I looked at it for 3 hours before I caught that.

I thought you had changed that earlier when I mentioned it.
Nevertheless, good to know you have it working.
