Field Values

[stevem]

Hello,

Is it possible to update a field value on a form based with the value of another field or ifram on the form.
I am wanting to change the field age based on the result of the date of birth field. The result is currently being displayed within an iframe on the same form.

I have the following in the events section of a button
$( "#age" ).val(("#clientiframe").val);

If I use $( "#age" ).val('clientiframe'); then the age field contains the value clientframe

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

$( "#age" ).val(("#clientiframe").val);

If I use $( "#age" ).val('clientiframe'); then the age field contains the value clientframe

there is a syntax error in your code (see here). Try this:

Code: Select all

$( "#age" ).val( $( "#clientiframe" ).val() );

Have you seen this post?

Max.

Hi Max,

I looked at the link to the external post and this works apart from the date I'm using is in the format dd-MMM-yyyy

I'm still trying to understand Java and so do not have a clue how to convert the code example so that it excepts the format above.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Steve,
in the Events tab of your age field insert a new event:
- Event Name: onfocus
- Javascript: this code

Code: Select all

$( "#age" ).val(function() {
    var d = new Date($( "#your-date-of-birth-field-name" ).val());
    var dob = d.getFullYear();
    var d = new Date();
    var today = d.getFullYear();
    return (isNaN(today - dob) ? 0 : (today - dob));
});

Hope this helps,
Max
