Hi Sachin,

Although your requirement is not clear , but I would answer to best of my understandings.

store the values of the fields in some variable,

var xyz=''; // empty string

var a=g_form.getValue('field_1');

var b=g_form.getValue('field_2');

var c=g_form.getValue('field_3');

xyz +=a+b+c;

vg_form.setValue('field_4',xyz);

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Shariq

Hi Shariq,

    I'm using the same script to calculate the value of a+b and get total sum value in the single line text box. This script is not working for me. can you help me

I'm using 2 select box'es 

a Select Box has option yes or no  (Yes value as 10 ; No Value as 5)

b Select Box has option yes or no (Yes value as 10 ; No Value as 5)

I'm using C as a single line text box I need to get the score of what the user selects.

If Select Yes in A; Yes in B; 

It should autopopulate C as 10

Please help

Thank you!!

I'm assuming you want to update the total field each time one of the 3 fields changes, correct?   This is how you can set things up for the least maintenance:

1. an onLoad Client Script that will declare a function that does the actual calculation

function onLoad() {
     //nothing happens here, but we still need the onLoad block for this to work
}

function u_calculateTotal(){
   g_form.setValue("u_total", g_form.getIntValue("u_integer1") + g_form.getIntValue("u_integer2") + g_form.getIntValue("u_integer3"));
}

The getIntValue() function retrieves the value of the input fields as integers so no need to convert them.

2. onChange Client Scripts for each of the 3 input fields

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading) {
       return;
   }
   //call the shared function to update the total field
   u_calculateTotal();
}

Thanks Jim! I learned something new today. I wasn't acquainted with g_form.getIntValue(). Good to know.
