SetFocus not working in older versions of Reader (pre version 8)

Question

I have a form that was created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and has the following issue:
I have used the setFocus method to help the form filler (end user) navigate around the form. It works fine when the end user is viewing the form in Reader version 8 or higher, but it does not work in earlier versions. is there a work around to get similar functionality in earlier versions of Reader.
Example:
there is a drop-down list where the user is directed to different fields depending on their answer. it uses the following if expression in the "validate" event:
if (this.rawValue == 2){
xfa.host.setFocus(textField1);
if (this.rawValue == 1) {
xfa.host.setFocus(DropDownList2);

Answer 1

Brian,
One more thing about the setFocus issue:
I tried my test form on Adobe Reader 6.0.2 and the setFocus worked OK when using the somExpression.
So adding the somExpression to the setFocus works with Reader 6.0.2 and up, but it did not work with Reader 6.0 or Reader 6.0.1.
LC Designer 8.2 will let you set the minimum target version in the "Form Properties" "Defaults" tab to 6.0.2, so that may be the lowest version it supports. I did notice that at this 6.0.2 version my other Javascript code does not function; not sure why.
