Copy text fields and drop down menu fields

Hi,
Using LiveCycle Designer ES, I am making a simple form with some text fields and along with some drop-down menu fields. With the resulting pdf, I need for one to be able to select the appropriate selection in the drop-down menus. Then using cntl-a to select everything and then cntl-v to copy it into a text document. This approach will only copy the text fields and not what is showing in the drop-down menu field. Is there any way to solve this problem? The end users computer has limited tools and software cannot be installed on it.
Thank you for considering this issue and any help you may provide,
ja

Hi,
I don't really know if the text field can be selected using Ctl+a, but if that is possible how about adding extra text field that is linked to pulldown menu?
If the usage of the PDF is only for copying, then I would make a formcalc or javascript to combine all the text into one text field so that user only need to copy paste one field.

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.

So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

Display normal text instead of drop down menu

I have two tables. One is the customer particular, which has RaceID(int) as one of the field. The other
table is Race, which has RaceID(int) and Race(char). Both of these tables are linked together.
I have the following code generated from Ultradev when I am using Dynamic Elements Server Behavior.
I will gonna do a search page, which list the value of Race of customer in normal text for each staff,
not the drop down menu(but during insert page, I am using drop down menu to enter the data). How to
do that?
Codes:(This code will generate a drop down menu which compare the value in the customer particular and
the race tables. If selected, display that one with the drop down menu.
<select name="race">
<%
while (Race_hasData) {
%>
<option value="<%=((Race.getObject("raceID")!=null)?Race.getObject("raceID"):"")%>" <%=(((Race.getObject("raceID")).toString().equals(((((Matching_data
= Matching.getObject("raceID"))==null || Matching.wasNull())?"":Matching_data)).toString()))?"SELECTED":"")%>
<%=((Race.getObject("race")!=null)?Race.getObject("race"):"")%></option><%
Race_hasData = Race.next();
Race.close();
Race = StatementRace.executeQuery();
Race_hasData = Race.next();
Race_isEmpty = !Race_hasData;
%>
</select>

don't use <select>, use <input type = "text"> instead and you will get text box.

Error message based on text in a drop-down menu...

So I have a simple number field and a text drop-down box (with, let's say, the values "Blue", "Red" and "Green".)
I want to set a minimum and maximum (say between 5 and 20) value on the number field and send an error if the user enters a number outside of that range. BUT the range can be different depending on if the user selects Blue, Red or Green from the drop-down menu.
So for Blue, the range might be 5-20; for Red 7-22, and Green 10-25.
SO if the user chooses Blue then enters a 4 or a 21, he'll get an error message prompting him to specifiy a value that is from 5-20.
That's it, in a nutshell.
Any help I could get would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
T.

There are several events to consider here:
1. The drop-down value is changed without any values in the text field
2. The drop-down value is changed with a value in the text field
3. The value of the text field is changed (I'm assuming there's no "blank" value in the drop-down, or there will be another event, where the value of the text field is changed when the "blank" option is selected)
You need to decide how to treat each event. I would recommend resetting the text field each time the value of the drop-down is changed. Otherwise you will need to perform the validation from two different sources.
To do that add the following code to the drop-down's custom validation script (replace "Text1" with the actual field's name):
this.resetForm(["Text1"]);
The code you can use for the text field can be something like this, as the custom validation script (replace "Color Selection" with the actual field's name):
event.rc = true;
if (event.value) {
    var color = this.getField("Color Selection").value;
    var min=0,max=0;
    if (color=="Blue") {
        min = 5;
        max = 20;
    } else if (color=="Red") {
        min = 7;
        max = 22;
    } else if (color=="Green") {
        min = 10;
        max = 25;
    var v = Number(event.value);
    if (v<min || v>max) {
        app.alert("Error! The value must be between " + min + " and " + max);
        event.rc = false;

JavaScript and Drop down menu help?

Hi,
I'm having trouble trying to get options in my drop down menu to update in another section. I have the below script in a hidden field and everything seems to be working but it keeps picking up the last line only when doing calculations (i.e 48) when I change it in the drop down menu to say "HBZ-200" which has the value of 200 it is still only picking up the last line and value of 48.
So to put a little perspective on things the below script is in a hidden field called stndwatt, I then want to calculate that in another hidden field called calc which has the following calculations - (Qty3+ballconsump)-stndwatt, this should then update my visible field called ElectYear1 which then has the calculations of - (Qty1+Qty2)*(Qty4*Qty5*Qtycost*calcs*weeksinyear)/1000, as far as I can work out my stndwatt field is only picking up the last line below which is 48.
I'm sorry if this is vague I'm not very familar with JavaScript or PDF forms and have been scratching my head all day with this.
var v = this.getField("ProductLineOne").value;
if (v=="T101221W-30 (3000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-40 (4000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-50 (5000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-60 (6000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="HBZ-100 (100W LED High Bay)") event.value = "100";
else if (v=="HBZ-150 (150W LED High Bay)") event.value = "150";
else if (v=="HBZ-200 (200W LED High Bay)") event.value = "200";
else if (v=="ZSL-48W (48W LED Shop Light)") event.value = "48";

Are you sure the code you posted here is EXACTLY the same as the code in
your file? Did you copy&paste it?
If so, can you share the file in question?

Problem with checkbox and drop down menu

I am using DW8 with PHP/MySQL.
I made a insertion form and a couple of the fields are
checkboxes and another is a drop down menu. Everything works fine,
however, when I create an update form and the recordset calls the
data it doesn't retain its values on those items.
For example, if I checked a box when inserting the record and
then call the data up for the update form, the box is not checked,
making the user believe it was never checked in the first place.
The same thing goes for the drop down menu. If I have 3
options in the menu and someone selects the third one, when the
update form is used it defaults to the first option automatically
instead of actually calling up the original value selected.

The fact that two scripts do not work together does not mean
there is a bug in the RH script. It is simply that they were not
designed by their respective developers to work together. This
happens with multiple scripts in any html file.
Try creating a new project and then importing just this topic
into it. Does it still have the problem?

Pop Up Window and Drop Down Menu Question PLSS Help

Hi Guys,
Ne help would be appreciated I am designing a website in
Dreamweaver, I need to know how to create a custom drop down menu.
Is there anyway that instead of using the standard drop down menu,
you can customize them e.g use an image instead. For example, when
you rollover lets say Home a drop down appears but the menu is
customised e.g colour, text and any other small details.
Even when using the standard drop down menu, how can you have
a particular text, whenever I go to edit font list it does not show
the typeface, although it is activated in suitcase.
Secondly, how can I create a custom pop up window?
I would really appreciate any help for either of these
Many Thanks

hi,
Creator does not recognize (or whatever you say) characters like '<'. You can import js file which includes your script or change these characters for example put "<" instead of "<".

Thanks to the super-users, and questions on backgrounds and drop-down menu

Hi all.
I've spent a fair amount of time perusing the archives, so I don't have to bother you all with the basic questions. Great thanks to Wyodor, Old Toad, Ethmoid and Cyclosaurus for their excellent and oft-repeated tutorials.
With your help, I've figured out how to set up a personal domain name, modify my background image, and create a drop-down menu. (These were major accomplishments for a neophyte like me.) My primitive template can be seen here:
http://www.monroekarate.org/dojo/Template.html
And I am pretty happy with it. I have one problem, and one minor element that I'd like to fix.
The drop-down menu was created following the excellent tutorial from the iWebfaq but I notice that although it looks perfect there is one malfunction. If you hover and try to select an element where there is no underlying content, it works fine. When you try to select a list item with underlying content, however, the drop-down disappears. Any idea why that happens or how I can fix it? I suppose I could just add a space buffer, but that is an inelegant solution.
On a more trivial note, the background was actually supposed to be composed of two images. The top row was supposed to be a horizontal set of tiles (slightly darker in color) and the rest of the background was tiled in a second image, giving a gradient effect. I used the script Wyodor described here with repeat set to yes which gave me single-image tiling. Looks OK, but if I could get both sets of tiles used it would add substantial richness to the visual effect. Ideas?
Thanks again for all your help to date, and thanks in advance for considering this issue!
Cheers,
Liam

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

How do I get a sum of cells for rows that contain a text in a drop down menu?

I am trying to track individual sales with each of my vendors. I have a column of drop down menu's that list each of my vendors. I am trying to associate a dollar amount for a single transaction in a row that is associated with a vendor and get a sum for all of my single trasactions with that vendor for the year. I have used =countif to build a pie chart of % of transactions per vendor now I am trying to get a dollar amount as well
Thanks in advance
Don

HI Don,
COUNTIF will count, SUMIF will sum.
The main difference between them is that COUNTIF works with data in a single column—in this case the column containing the vendor names—while SUMIF uses two columns—the vendor names to decide which rows to include in the sums and the amount column to determine the amount to incude.
Example:
Main: Vendor names in column A, descriptions in columns B and C, and dollar amounts in column D
Summary: Vendor names in column A, Number of transactions in column B, Dollar totals in column C
Formulas inn Summary (both are entered in row 2 and filled doen to the last row):
B2: =COUNTIF(Main :: $A,A2)
C2: =SUMIF(Main :: $A,A2,Main :: $D)

Barry

Is it possible to copy data from a drop down menu instead of having to re-type all the data again?

I am trying to create a form for safety inspections. I need have a list of employees in a drop down menu format. Is there a way to copy the populated drop down menu to be used several times in the document?

Hi SwitchInc,
Yes, you can. Please refer to the Screen Shot, hope this help.

"undefined" appearing next to text in CSS Drop-Down menu, why?

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with a CSS drop-down menu. The menu works fine, as you can see here:
http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/011.html
But the text "undefined" appears next to the main menu options. My question is, why?
I have narrowed the problem down to this chunk of code:
<div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
If you remove the rel="dropmenu1" portion of the code, the word "undefine" no longer appears, but then the menu doesnt drop-down anymore.
Any ideas?
If it is needed:
Here is the CSS file: http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chrometheme/chromestyle.css
Here is the JS file:http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chromejs/chrome.js
Thank you.

When I use FF to view the generated source, I see this -
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search undefined</a></li>
The undefined is coming from the javascript functions that you have loaded in that external file. This function call is what starts it -
<script type="text/javascript">
cssdropdown.startchrome("chromemenu")
</script>

How to "Copy & Paste" onto a drop down menu?

How do you make a drop down menu with a giant list of countries without having to plug in every country one by one?
I'm trying to recreate a drop down menu my boss has on his website onto Adobe Formscentral. The problem is I don't want to make a drop down menu and have to type out every country he has on the website drop down "It's seriously has every country in the world" If there is script I have to type somwhere so be it, rather mess around with that than waste company time typing countries down.

Hi,
We do not have any way to import data into a dropdown list and do not have any Templates with a complete Country list, but you can add or vote on either/both in the feature ideas:
