Hello: I'm a newbie to javascript and have a little experience with LiveCycle.
I'm working on a form which will allow an applicant to calculate an approximate graduation date if they're getting an Associates Degree. They enter their start date (Start_Date) and total credits earned to date in another field. The Credits field returns a variable which reduces the graduation date. So, I need to take the Start_Date, add 1068 days (which is 35 months converted roughly to days), then subtract the variable calculated from the Credits field and display an estimated graduation date. I have tried many different ways of doing this based on examples I've found, and though LiveCycle says the syntax is OK, nothing will display in the field. I hope this makes sense. I'm taking a relatively simple Excel "calculator" and adding it to this form, but I just don't know enough about Javascript to get it to work.
I hope this makes sense. I need:
1. User enters Start Date & Credits Earned
2. Associates Degree field would calculate Start Date + 1068 days (~35 months from the date entered)
3. If any credits have been earned to date, a variable (converting credits earned to a number of days, which I already have calculating correctly in a hidden field) would be subtracted
Start Date + 1068 days - Variable = Graduation Date
Any help would be appreciated.
