Re: Page Number based on slice() method

With so many repeated actions I would look at using functions for many of the processes. An example of a document level function that gets field objects and reports issues when accessing the field.

function GetField(cName) {
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named "+ cName, 0, 0);
return oField;
}

One could use this like:

var p_name = event.target.name;

var ram = p_name.slice(1,2);

console.println("page number:" +(ram));

var mar = ram - 1;

console.println("page number -1:" +(mar));

var myField = GetField("P" + mar + ".mytemplate." + "DOB");

console.show();console.clear():

console.println("DOB on page " + mar + " is "+ myField.value);

I would consider also using the slice method to get the "P#" prefix and template names.

var cFieldName = event.target.name;

var aFieldName = cFieldName.split(".");

console.show(); console.clear();

console.println("Field name: " + cFieldName);

for(i = 0; i < aFieldName.length; i++) {

console.println(i + ": " + aFieldName[i]);

}

console.println("P# & template name: " + aFieldName[0] + "." + aFieldName[1]);
