The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

checkboxes in livecycle designer ES

Asked by chipsterva69 in Adobe Acrobat, JavaScript

Tags: adobe livecycle designer ES, checkboxes, calculation

I am trying to add a calculation to a PDF registration form we use at work.  

There is a section of the form where the registrant is supposed to check a box if they are attending single days of a conference (mon, tues or weds) with each day being $650.  We have this same function for exhibitors - they need to select which day they want to attend.  There is also the option of full conference attendance and spouses, and just to make things interesting, early bird and regular parameters also.

I am running into problems trying convert the checkboxes into a calculation that will create a subtotal.  I have posted the form here if you want to see it:
http://www.healthcaredistribution.org/test/regform-v4.pdf

I think I am supposed to use the binding property of the checkbox object - the on value is the cost of the particular registration type and the off value is 0.

Here is the scripting I have setup to start testing:

 form1.Page2.subtotal::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
--------
SUM(form1.Page1.memberfullearlybird_1050.bind+
form1.Page1.memberfullregular_1300.bind+
form1.Page1.memberdailyearlybird_650.bind+
form1.Page1.memberdailyregular_650.bind+
form1.Page1.exhibitordailyregular_350.bind)

Once I figure out what actually works, I will add in the rest of the necessary checkbox values.

What am I doing wrong?  Should I be using JavaScript as opposed to FormCalc?  If so - what would something like this look like?

Thanks in advance!
