Dropdown issue in offline Interactive Form

Question

Hi,
Form is created using XML schema interface.. When looked at "PDF Preview" drop down field works fine and shows all possible values.
I am using ABAP to generate the interactive form. In the function module call, I have set Fillable = 'X' and also Dynamic = 'X' for docparams.
When I run the program and create the form,  I just see one (first) value populated in the drop-down field, but the field does not show any drop-down to choose other values from..
since it works fine in PDF preview, I am assuming, the problem is not with the form, but something to do with the calling program.
any inputs?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using dynamic forms.. it works fine  in PDF preview.. in calling ABAP program i have set Fillable = X and dynamic = X as well. Do you think the issue is with this script? If something was wrong here, then it should not work properly in "PDF Preview" as well.. but it works fine there.. I think, it has something to do with form being "dynamic" in nature..
I found something interesting.. if I add a simple app.alert statement anywhere in this script, drop-down works just fine.. My thinking is, by adding this statement I am making the form dynamic / interactive.. since user has to click on "OK" to close the dialog box. so original issue could be in saving the form as dynamic itself.
I am using "Initialize" event of drop down list with following script:
var boothString = "kitForms.booth";
var boothItem =  xfa.datasets.data.resolveNode(boothString );
if (boothItem  == null){
  this.presence = "invisible";
  hiddenBooth.presence = "visible";
else {
   try{
          var boothItemValue = boothItem.nodes.item(0).value;     
          var tempString = "kitForms.booth.boothNo" + boothItemValue;
          var oItems = xfa.datasets.data.resolveNode(tempString);
          if (oItems != null){
               var nItemsLength = oItems.nodes.length;
               boothW.rawValue = oItems.nodes.item(0).value;
               boothD.rawValue = oItems.nodes.item(1).value;
               var nItemsLength = boothItem.nodes.length;  
               this.rawValue = boothItemValue;
     catch (e){
        this.presence = "invisible";
          hiddenBooth.presence = "visible";
Data XML looks like this:
- <booth>
  <item>456</item>
- <boothNo456>
  <itemW>10.0</itemW>
  <itemD>8.0</itemD>
  </boothNo456>
  <item>123</item>
- <boothNo123>
  <itemW>10.0</itemW>
  <itemD>23.0</itemD>
  </boothNo123>
  </booth>
