Drop Down Menu selection query for recordset.

I am looking to utilize a dynamic drop down menu to query a recordset...I am using Colfusion to import an MS Access database that contains the following fields: "Model Date", "Name", "Points" and "Target". Each time the database updates, the "Model Date" field contains the date and time the model was run. I have figured out how to create a dynamic drop down using SELECT DISTINCT "model date" and have also figured out how to create the dynamic recordset to be displayed showing the "Name", "Points" and "Target" data.
I want the user to select the "Model Date" from the drop down, hit a submit button and then have the appropriate "Name", "Points" and "Target" data queried and shown below.
The query should take the selection from the "model date" dropdown and then query the "name", "points" and "target" fields for that particular "model date"
I admit my knowledge of SQL and Coldfusion is not the best, but it seems like this is a somewhat simple task and I am just missing one or two pieces of the cog to put it all together.
The database basically looks like this:
Model Date...........Name..........Points........Target
8/1/2010 08:00......John Doe.....1,250.........5.55%
8/1/2010 08:00......Jane Doe.....850............2.35%
8/1/2010 08:00......Bill Smith....11,832........-123.23%
8/2/2010 09:02......John Doe.....1,323.........6.67%
8/2/2010 09:02......Jane Doe.....1,001.........3.21%
8/2/2010 09:02......Bill Smith....10,235........-110.26%
The dropdown will only show the "model dates"
8/1/2010 08:00
8/2/2010 09:02
For example, if 8/1/2010 08:00 was selected from the dropdown, I want the following displayed:
Name..................Points...................Target
John Doe.............1,250....................5.55%
Jane Doe.............850.......................2.35%
Bill Smith............11,832...................-123.23%
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Mike

My second paragraph talks about just displaying the filtered data, so I'm assuming that's what you're looking for, but still not quite sure based on what the other responses are.
But I head on anyway -
On your first page, make note of the instance name of your drop down menu, such as "ModelDate". Make sure it's in a Form and set the form action to the page where you want to display your data, set the form action to POST.
On the results page, create a table with cells for each of the data elements you want to display. Create a recordset which you can do in Simple mode. Leave it at select all, and set the filter drop down to the database field which contains your Model Date. In the box to the right, select "=". the next dropdown selct "Form Variable" and the variable name type in the instance name of the drop down on the first page.
I may not have the terminology right, doing it from memory.
From the data bindings tab, expand your recordset and locate each of the database fields you want to display. Drag each one to the table cell on the page where you want it displayed. The table cells have to be in a linear row.
Now, select the table row buy selecting the TR tag in the tags just above the properties panel. In the server behaviors tab, select repeat region and "All Records"
Publish your pages and test!

TS3276 the images (attachments) are automatically resized (smaller) when I send them to a customer. My email screen does not show a drop down menu box where you can leave as actual size. Is there a setting elsewhere that can be set.

Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem. I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
Thanks

What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

I'm using Firefox 5.0 and I cannot type a value into a drop down menu.

There is a webpage with a drop down menu box.
When I open the page with IE, I can choose from the listed values OR type my own value,
When I open the page with Firefox, I can only choose from the listed values BUT CANNOT type my own value.
The page is on my company and so I am sorry that I cannot show it to you guys at the moment.
Is there anything I can try modifying so that I can make the box typable?

Go to Options > Advanced > General and uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Hope this will solve your problem :)

A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures. i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
left: auto;
top:0;
or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
Either way will get you back on track.
Good luck.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

She is the script I'm using
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "cat"
    aQuotes[1] = "dog"
    aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

Triggering a database query and region update from drop-down menu selection

I suspect this must be covered somewhere in some how-to or documentation but Google hasn't been of much help here:
A user is filling in a form. The first entry in the form is a drop-down menu. Upon the user selecting a value in the menu I would like to query existing entries in the DB and present results to the user, in a region to the right hand-side of the form, as guidance (i.e.: "here's what we already have for this component").
I am unclear as to whether I should be using computations, javascript or a combination of both here. Pointers welcome. Thanks in advance.

Selection Box and some repeats in drop down menu problems, please help

Hello,
I'm not quite sure what i have managed to turn on but everytime i click anything on my mac it gets a black box around it... I have no idea how to turn it off... can someone help me?
Also my restart, Log out and Shut down seem to be repeating themselves in my apple drop down menu... is the normal? I don't remember it before. I'm working on a Mac Pro using Mac OS X 10.4.7.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ahh thank you so much!
I don't know how I managed it but it was really annoying me and now its gone. Wonderful.
Thank you again.

I can't get the drop down menu in the search box in newest version.

I just updated to the latest version (35.0) and can't get drop down menu. I couldn't get it in the last version either. I've filled everything out in the change settings page but still can't figure out how to get my choices to show up. (Please keep answers simple--I'm not a computer geek but I can follow clear directions.)

I see it now. Thank you, Phillip. I read the help page before, but I think it would help if that page pointed out that the options you have selected will appear at the bottom of the list of suggestions after you type a search in the box. Also that would have been clearer if I did not select give suggestions. The key point for my understanding was that I had to type a search first in order to get the options to appear, which is the opposite of how it worked before. Definitely fix that help page to make that part clear. And thanks again, so much.

Add a Drop down menu / Combo Box into a specified cell of a multi column lsit box

Hello,
i have a question how to manipulate a cell of a multi column list box in that way that i can add a drop down menu or a combo box in this cell?
Is this possible in LabView?
Thank you!

Wow, I took a look at the alternate code posted here at that really takes you through gyration (also a similiar comment I see on Lava) to perform what I've done with a few functions....
See the Pics and attached VI for how its done. KISS, I added an event stucture and changed my first enum case to " " (i.e. a blank) to make it look like the other posted code....

Drop down menu or combo box in jtable

Hi there I nee urgent help I have a jtable and I am collecting information to populate the table dynamically, the problem is I some of the strings that populate certain cells is longer the the width of the cell in a particular column, I thought I could use a combo box and split the strings up so I could have some type of drop down menu showing the information, but when I populate the combo box and instantiate the defaultcell renderer with the combobox it sets all cells in that column with the same information I would like to have it displaying the actual information for every row within that column
or if you can give me any ideas as to how I can avoid this happening or maybe an alternative method of showing these long strings in the table some kind of drop down.
Kind Regards Michael

the problem is I some of the strings that populate certain cells is longer the the width of the cell in a particular column,Set a tooltip to display the entire text of the cell. Here is a simple example;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TableToolTip extends JFrame
     public TableToolTip()
          Object[][] data = { {"1234567890qwertyuiop", "A"}, {"2", "B"}, {"3", "C"} };
          String[] columnNames = {"Number","Letter"};
          JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames)
               public String getToolTipText( MouseEvent e )
                    int row = rowAtPoint( e.getPoint() );
                    int column = columnAtPoint( e.getPoint() );
                    Object value = getValueAt(row, column);
                    return value == null ? null : value.toString();
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TableToolTip frame = new TableToolTip();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.setSize(150, 100);
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}If you want to get fancier than you could set the tooltip text only when the width of the text is greater than the width of the column. Here is an example of this is done with a text field. You would need to modify the code to refer the to table for the text string and the TableColumn for the width.:
JTextField textField = new JTextField(15)
     public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent e)
          FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics( getFont() );
          String text = getText();
          int textWidth = fm.stringWidth( text );
          return (textWidth > getSize().width ? text : null);
textField.setToolTipText(" ");
I thought I could use a combo box and split the strings up so I could have some type of drop down menu showing the informationIf you want to proceed with this approach then check out this posting:

In Edit this Bookmark box there is no drop-down menu and there used to be!

When we ask to "bookmark this page" we are presented with the appropriate box but there is no drop-down menu on demand just three options from the past followed by an empty box. We used to be presented with all our bookmark categories and then we did something which stopped this (cannot remember what) and we cannot recover the original presentation. Hope this is clear? Please forgive incorrect terms!

Not really clear, but I will try to clear up some of what you see, and tell you that you can fix most of the problems by installing the "'''Add Bookmark to Here2'''" extension, which can help clear up some of the ambiguities, but not all of them, so read the explanation below.
The main problems are:
# You can't really do much unless/until you expand the dialog that is the first drop-down button that appears by itself at the far right as [V] or as [^]. With the extension you can make the expansion automatic for each time you open the bookmark dialog.
# The drop-down to the left shows the most recently bookmarked to folders, but once you click on it you will be at the selected folder and can scroll through all of your bookmarks, expanding where necessary to see subfolders but not bookmarks.
# Below that is a drop-down for tags, this is the most confusing thing every added to a dialog because it gets close to and confused with other drop-downs. My suggestion is if you don't use tags, eliminate the tag display entirely with the extension.
Additional advantages of installing the extension.
# Adds back the keyword field, which is essentially a single alias for a bookmark and will allow you to invoke a commonly used bookmark without the foolish additional searching and clicking to lookup or use a bookmark, and it allows you to include substitution values associated with a shortcut. (see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcuts] for examples and how to make your own).
#Allows you to make use of the Description field, you can modify it to suit yourself, but correctly made web pages have a description, and you can include that or modify how it reads for your bookmark. The description is not searchable when you try to search your bookmarks.
#Like its name implies you select right-click a bookmark folder and use the "Add Bookmark Here" to bookmark into the folder. Feature further enhanced if you install the "Multiple Tab Handler" extension.
#The text areas within the dialog are expandable by moving the bottom border of the areas, see the third picture shown on the add-ons page.
