changing one field based on another

I recommend to post your application to Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL. 'Demo Account' button can be found on the last screen in the program.

this didn't work for me

I couldn't login and could not find how to register

my email wasn't recognized (maybe because i just bought it recently?)

I managed to make some progress by writing a form and javascript into the html page- its very messy

I retrieved the value into the data base with the following on the javascript onload event page:-
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Height');
// i tried to copy the value of Height variabl into the textbox id=heit but didnt work

// var value = ctrl.getValue();

// this hides the regular height box
ctrl.hide();
// this copies the value of textbox id=heit into the data variable $_REQUEST["heit"] on 'after record updated' events page

this.on('beforeSave', function(formObj, fieldControlsArr, pageObj){

var val = $("#heit").val();

formObj.baseParams['heit'] = val;

});
// this is on 'after record updated' event page

$heit = $_REQUEST["heit"];

$user = $values["id"];

global $conn;

$strupdate = "UPDATE user SET user.Height = $heit WHERE user.id = $user";

db_exec($strupdate,$conn);
What I continue to struggle with is to set my custom form field (id=heit) to have the default value of user.height when the page loads
I have examined all the manuals/forum and been unable to establish the circuit of a database variable value >> javascript form variable value >> database variable value.

in its simplest form

if anyone could point me to an example I would appreciate it very much

sorry- operator error- i've uploaded the files

ive redefined the fields so have 3 with them hidden on the edit screen and javascript to link the fields so editing any one dynamically updates the screen and when saved fills all 3 database variables, what it doesnt do is copy the data base variables into the form on loading

Now you need to open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL so someone from support team can help you.

I fixed it by using the guidelines of 'Show dropdown list of US states if US was selected in country list' in the manual
its a big manual and difficult to relate the workflow to the references at times
