Pdf Calculation Problem

[Porcupine]

I am trying to create an order form in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. This code seems to be close, but not quite there. Can anyone help?

var f = this.getField ("TOTAL");
if (f.value=0.00<20.00)(event.value=5.95);"or";
if (f.value=20.01<50.00)(event.value=7.95);"or";
if (f.value=50.01<75.00)(event.value=9.95);"or";
if (f.value=75.01<100.00)(event.value=11.95);"or";
if (f.value=100.01<150.00)(event.value=13.95);"or";
if (f.value=150.01<200.00)(event.value=15.95);"or";
if (f.value=200.01<250.00)(event.value=17.95);"or";
if (f.value>250.01)(event.value=20.95);

Thanks!!

I know nothing about Acrobat, but I do know that "if" statements can be linked too deeply and that specifying ranges can be messy, so I'll take a stab at it:

var f = this.getField ("TOTAL");
event.value=5.95
if (f.value>20.00)(event.value=7.95);
if (f.value>50.00)(event.value=9.95);
if (f.value>75.00)(event.value=11.95);
if (f.value>100.00)(event.value=13.95);
if (f.value>150.00)(event.value=15.95);
if (f.value>200.00)(event.value=17.95);
if (f.value>250.00)(event.value=20.95);

Thank you!! This worked great...to a point. It inserted the proper number, but when the "TOTAL" changed, the number did not.

Any further ideas?

Whatever triggers this calculation the first time has to be reactivated to trigger it again when the main field changes. Sorry about my lack of knowledge in Acrobat. In JavaScript, I would put those lines within a function and add "onchange='function_name();'" to the main field.

Thank you Jalarie. I will try this when I get home from work.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help, but I don't have Acrobat.
