I have two list boxes (let's say box1 and box2) that I want to populate into a Multiline Edit Field. In that same Multiline Edit Field, I want users to be able to freetext in it.
I'm having issues with the Listboxes duplicating in the Multiline Edit Field.
Ideas? Help?
If you want both, I would probably have an action button under the listbox
document.multiline = document.multiline + HRET + document.listbox1 + ", " + document.listbox2
The downside to this is that if you click that button more than once, it will duplicate everything. so it must be clicked first or last.
That's an option, though one that would likely be ill-received by providers. 😉
I'm trying to replicate the PE-CCC form's function--how you can pick from list boxes, freetext in the multi-line field, etc. all without duplication or overwriting of the data in the multi-line edit field.
So are you wanting to type, then select something to insert, then keep typing, then select something to insert? Or how are you wanting it to translate?
That could be one possibly workflow, yes. Or click checkboxes, edit the text, freetext some, then perhaps click another checkbox.
hmm I will work on this when I get the chance and if I figure it out, I will definitely post.
