Calculated Field based on selection in dropdown list


rollandpate

Question

I am trying to populate a field on my webform based on the selection from the Dropdown list of another field on the form. For example: If I select "1st Place" from the Dropdown list I would like the Points field to be populated with the value of 4.

I am using the following JavaScript in the Footer of the Submission Form.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function getPts()
{ 
   /* Retrieve the value of the field Cookoff_Result_Place and store in a variable 'Place' */
  var Place = document.getElementById("InsertRecordCookoff_Result_Place").value;

  switch (Place)
  {
    case '1': case '11': case '14': case '17': case '20': document.getElementById("InsertRecordCookoff_Result_Points").value=4;
    break;
    case '2': case '12': case '15': case '18': case '21': document.getElementById("InsertRecordCookoff_Result_Points").value=3;
    break;
    case '3': case '13': case '16': case '19': case '22': document.getElementById("InsertRecordCookoff_Result_Points").value=2;
    break;
    default: document.getElementById("InsertRecordCookoff_Result_Points").value=1
  }
}

/* On submitting the webform, the function getPts is executed */
document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=getPts;
</SCRIPT>

Everything works while I am in Caspio but when I deploy the form to my website it stops populating the Points field. I'm not sure what needs to be changed to get it to work from my website.

Most possible problem is the line of code below if you have more than one DataPage deployed on your website:

document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=getPts;

In this case, you will need to encapsulate each DataPage in a Div with an assigned ID and then call the ID of that DataPage on submit function. Example:

DataPage hearer:

DataPage footer:

Script:

document.getElementById("DP1").onsubmit=getPts;

Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Best,

As of July 12, 2018, Caspio introduced new features which you can find here: https://howto.caspio.com/release-notes/caspio-bridge-13-0/

This release includes a new feature, Calculated Values in Submission Forms.  This allows you to generate calculations which you can use for your Dropdown list
