Array Set-Up Question

Hello All

I put this array on the document level of an Acrobat form

var gmagazine = new Array
gmagazine["mhm"] = "48"
gmagazine["mhm"] = "12"
gmagazine["mhm"] = "20"

I then put this on a drop down list field of the form

var trimFld = this.getField("spec_trim")
var liveFld = this.getField("spec_live")
var bleedFld = this.getField("spec_bleed")

if (event.changeEx in gmagazine)
trimFld.value = gmagazine[event.changeEx]

My goal is that when the export value of mhm is selected via the combo
box, these values will diaplay as follows:
48 will appear in the text field "spec_trim"
12 will appear in the text field "spec_live"
20 will appear in the text field "spec_bleed"

I know as currently constructed, the array will only work if I have one
text
field associated with the export value of "mhm". How do I create an
array
that allows for three separate values (for spec_trim, spec_live and
spec_bleed, from a single export value of "mhm"

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Kenn

I'm not sure if this applies to pdf files because I don't understand
your code. This works in an html page. Maybe you can use or modify this
approach:

- use a 2 dimensional array
- match array index data with select index

<script type="text/javascript">
var gmagazine = new Array();
gmagazine[1] = new Array();
gmagazine[1] = ["48","12","20"];
gmagazine[2] = new Array();
gmagazine[2] = ["100","200","300"];

function processlistpick(num) {
var frm=document.forms["form1"];
frm.trim.value = gmagazine[num][0];
frm.live.value = gmagazine[num][1];
frm.bleed.value = gmagazine[num][2];
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<select name="List1" OnChange="processlistpick(this.selectedIndex)">
<option>Choose A Publication</option>
<option>MHM - Miluakee Home</option>
<option>Other - ___________</option>
</select>
<br>
<br>
<input type="text" length=12 name="trim"> 
<input type="text" length=12 name="live"> 
<input type="text" length=12 name="bleed"> 
</form>
