Getting the current or previous value of a drop-down list

This example demonstrates how to obtain the current value of a drop-down list as well as the different ways to access the previous value of a drop down list on a form. In addition to the actual scripts that set the current and previous values, it is important to note that the scripts are located on the change event for the Drop-down List. Open this form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer to view the form properties and specific settings for individual form objects.

Instructions 1. Select a value from the Drop-down List. Note that the Current Value text field displays the value currently selected in the Drop-down List. Each of the previous value text fields displays the value Peach. 2. Select a new value from the Drop-down List and observe the change to the Current Value, Previous Value 1, and Previous Value 2 text fields. Note: Each of the methods for obtaining the previous value of a drop-down list uses a different script. The Previous Value 1 text field is populated by a direct reference to the rawValue property of the Drop-down List, whereas the Previous Value 2 text field is populated using the prevText event. For consistent results, it is recommended that you access the previous value by using the prevText event. Drop-down List:

Peach

Current Value:

[Link] = [Link];

Previous Value 1:

[Link] = [Link];

Previous Value 2:

[Link] = [Link];
