Re: invoice script. add gratuity, tax subtotal ect....
need to know it all, all the javascript side... can someone make a dummy form for me? so i can see the guts... i have no idea what i am doing... my javascript knowledge is very very limited.
would like 'price of each' times cost x 20% gratuity, plus sales tax (6.5%) equals total all broken down... so i can see each field.. price of each, amount, what the gratuity will be at 20% then add tax to everything, show me how much is tax, then add it all together for a total... thank you pj

Re: invoice script. add gratuity, tax subtotal ect....
Shouldn't need any javascript, this is doable with calculation fields.
If you name the line item price fields as "ItemPrice.1", "ItemPrice.2"...etc. then you can create a field to calculate the sum of "ItemPrice" Create a field for the gratuity and the sales tax (set the Default values to ".2" and ".065" and make them uneditable) and you can then use them in the calculations (sums and products) for the other 'Totals" fields you need.

Re: invoice script. add gratuity, tax subtotal ect....
Unless you want to go into the custom JavaScript calculation, you should make a subtotal field that can be accessed by the simpler calculation methods and you could also add a sales tax rate field and a gratutity rate field to hold those rates. If you are going to use the "simplified field" notation be careful as to how you name your fields, no special or white space characters.

Re: invoice script. add gratuity, tax subtotal ect....
think i did that already... ive been messing with it a bit.. i really wish i could email it to someone who knows what they are doing.. clearly i do not...
it is all set to go (layout-wise) just not functioning correctly... it keeps adding up in the total, even after i erase the lines... (do i need a reset button?) also, curious about emailing it to email address entered in email_line form.. if this is possible... not xml data, but the actual pdf form.. thanks again pj

Re: invoice script. add gratuity, tax subtotal ect....
In Acrobat Forms you can use the calculation option of "Value is the ___ of the following fields:" You will need to select your operation and fields.
If you are using the LiveCycle Designer, use for the 'amount.1' field: quantity.1 * priceEach.1
