Designer
provides users with FormCalc, a simple yet powerful calculation
language for those with little or no scripting experience.
The form developer can incorporate calculations and scripting
to create a richer experience for the recipient of the form. FormCalc
facilitates fast and efficient form design without requiring a knowledge
of traditional scripting techniques or languages.
The built-in functions in FormCalc cover a wide range of areas
including mathematics, dates and times, strings, finance, logic,
and the web. These areas represent the types of data that typically
occur in forms, and the functions provide quick and easy manipulation
of the data in a useful way.
Using FormCalc in Designer
Within
Designer, JavaScript™ is the default scripting
language, with FormCalc as the alternative. Scripting takes place
on the various events that accompany each form object, and you can
use a mixture of JavaScript and FormCalc in interactive forms.
If you are
using a server-based process, such as forms generator, to create
forms for viewing in an internet browser, FormCalc scripts on certain
form object events do not render onto the HTML form. This functionality is
intended to prevent Internet browser errors from occurring when
users work with the completed form.
