What is wrong with my script for an acrobat form?

[Dablo81]

Hi,
I am trying to complete a form in acrobat for my company, but this is the first time I have ever used javascript. Using google (and my knowledge of Maths and excel), I have managed to write script for most of the calculations I am performing. However, I am having trouble with the final calculation and would like someone to have a look and help offer me guidance on where I am going wrong.

Overview. My final equation, box z, will look at box A and identify which product has been selected from the drop down list. If the product is Apple, then box z will look at box b. If box b is =<0.7, then box z needs to show ‘overweight’. If box b is =>0.475 but <0.7, then box z needs to say ‘good weight’. If box b says >0.475 then box z needs to say ‘underweight’.
If box A does not say apple, then box z needs to be blank.

I have drafted the following code but it does not work. Any help from anyone?

if (this.getField("Box A").value == yes){
Event.value=(this.getField(“Box B”).value={
if (this.getField(“Box B”).value == =<0.7) {
event.value=”overweight”;
}
Else if (this.getField(“Box B”).value == (=>0.475) && (=<0.7)) {
event.value=”good weight”;}
Else if (this.getField(“Box B”).value == >0.475) {
event.value=”underweight”;}
Else if (this.getField("Box A").value == no){
Event.value=” “{
Else if (this.getField("Box A").value == ){
Event.value=” “}

The JavaScript used in Acrobat is different from that used in a web page, but some of the basics are the same.

I'm going to assume that this.getField("Box A").value gets the value of the field "Box A". Then the first thing you need is to put quotes around "yes".

Line 3 should probably be

if (this.getField("Box B").value <= 0.7) {

There are a few other things, but that should get you started.

don’t know if it matters, or if it comes from pasting the code, but in standard JavaScript ” and “ (typographical quotation marks) are not string delimiters.

Hi, thanks to you both for your feedback. I am a complete novice to javascript and simply wanted to build a form for work. In the end, I completed this task but rather than use the one long equation above, I decided to break it up and used multiple hidden fields to do simple equations to get to the result I wanted.

Many thanks again,
