    Hello all. I am new to Lawson Design Studio. I am trying to create a javascript that will change the labels on a form based on the item the user selects from a listbox.

    Here is what I have tried to do:

    function select1_onChange()
    {
        if (lawForm.getFormValue("select1") == "P")
       {
         lawForm.setFormValue("label14", "Account Number");
       }
     if (lawForm.getFormValue("select1") == "R")
     {
      lawForm.setFormValue("label14", "City or Address 5");
     }
    }

    This does not work. It does not seem to get into the function even. I tried removing all the code from the function and just put an alert in there, but it would not alert when I selected different options in the list box. I assume I have to tie this function to the listbox somehow, but I do not know how.

    Thank you!

      I think the event you want is VALUES_OnBlur or Values_OnFocus. Within that based on the list ID, call the appropraite function.

        That worked like magic! I inserted this function:

        function VALUES_OnFocus(id, row)
        {
        select1_onChange()
        }

        And now when I click on the listbox and change its value the labels I want changed change. Thank you so much for your help!
