The problem is far beyond my tiny understanding of LyX/LaTeX unfortunately. Have you tried a question on StackOverflow?

Now I notice that it must be told in the document that for make it to work the AcroTeX package must be instaled also (it contains the insdljs.sty file), this specific package allows javascript code inside a pdf, so you can manage actions like (onselect, onkeypress, etc). It is also part of MikTeX if you run this on Windows so this should works on every platform. The problem is that if you just put {this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=false;} it works in one way, but when you uncheck the box the linked text field should become uneditable and empty. For this I expect that the code {this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=!this.getField("Escuelac").checked; this.getField("Escuelat").value="";} shall do the job, but it isn´t. I even made this as a function, but nothing happened. The rest of the objects work very nice but this kind of behaviour is critical for the next step of creating action buttons. Regards Alex
