How to populate the values in the drop down list form the xml file ?

I want to populate the drop down list values from a seperate xml file called ReferenceData. I created this file, which consists of a mapping entry in the form of ( key,value ) pair. Am mapping this xml file in to form by using rule named as getAppReferenceData.
But the values are not getting populated in the form. And I have a doubt of, where should we keep that xml file? (under which path / folder ).

what would help is if you showed what you do in the rule, either the code or a express trace of the rule.
The other thing you need to know is where you want to get the file from. Yes java can read a file from anywhere on the system but there is a security layer in there which might prevent the file being opened. Have you allowed acces to the file via the security policy settings via java.io.FilePermission?

Getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event

I am having problems getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event. It seems that you have to select the same item twice in a row to get the rawValue to be the value of the selected item.
::dropdownlist onChange event::
xfa.host.messageBox(this.rawValue);
On the first time a value is selected you get 'null'. The second time the same value is selected, you get the selected value.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening? Also, I CANNOT use xfa.event.newText, I need to use the rawValue of the dropdownlist.
Thanks

The change event occurs before the rawValue is changed. If you NEED to use the rawValue you'll need to use a later event. Perhaps you could use exit so that it gets triggered when the field loses focus?

Adobe LiveCycle Drop Down List which allows typing to filter the values in a Drop Down list

I have a drop down list in my form with contains a lot of different numbers, text, countries, cities and states, etc.
I would like the user to either have the option to only use the drop down list or they can type "Zapple" or any portion and have it populate the value.
Is there a setting or code which I can use which will do this?
Currently, if the user types the first letter or number it will take them to the beginning of the list (since I have them listed alphabetically/numerically), but I'd prefer they can type beyond the first character and pinpoint the option they're looking for.
Thank you for any help

The whole sample will need to be updated. As I said in the email it can be done but it will be complex. This particular sample requires an external xml file. You will need to pull this from data in the form.

Using the values from a drop down list to display in a separate cell

Hi all,
I must apologise if I don;t use the right 'terminology' as I am just an ordinary guy who uses a mac. I am also deaf which means I am totally dependant on the internet for fixing solutions.
Basically, I wanted to create a drop down list which I had no problem doing.
In the drop down, I have the options One-Piece, Two-Piece and Three-Quarter.
I would like to get it so that when I select the One-Piece, the value of 160 appears in a separate cell. If I select Two-Piece, then I would need 130 to appear in that separate cell. Likewise, Three-Quarter to produce 150.
Just to clarify, if we had a two-column and one row table, then the drop-down would be in A1, which the values would appear in B1.
I do not know the formula, and cannot find any instructions anywhere as I am probably using the wrong terminology or function name!
Any help would be much, much appreciated..
Carl

I don't guess what I may add.
The contents of the table named lookup appear on the screenshot.
cell A1 contains the string One-Piece, cell B1 contains the 'associated' value 160.
cell A2 contains the string Two-Piece, cell B2 contains the 'associated' value 130.
cell A3 contains the string Three-Quarter, cell B3 contains the 'associated' value 150.
Now table Main
In column B the cells contain a pop_up menu with four items like the ones described by Jerrold.
In column C of the cells contain the formula :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: A:B,2,FALSE),"")
I enhanced it since yesterdays because I forgot to treat the case when cell is blank in column B.
I apologize but as I'm using my machine in French, the screenshot display the French formulas.
I repeat that you may find useful infos in the PDFs files which we may download from the menus:
Help > Numbers User Guide
Help > iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide
As you are in Stoke-on-Trent maybe your system is set to use the comma as decimal separator.
If it's that, you must replace the comma by semi-colons in the formulas (you may see them in my screenshot).

1) let drop down box be g_dd.
if g_dd is initial.
g_dd = option2.
endif.
2)
by default same pf-status is used by all the screens in the same program
if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
set pf-status 'abc' excluding 'fcode_of_button'
endif.
or

git_fcode = 'fcode_of_button'.
append git_fcode.

How to Pre-select Value in auto drop down list

Hi,
I have an automatically populated drop down list, and I'm trying to have it display with a pre-selected value (in the example 5). I didn't know where to start, so I modified the Dreamweaver code for "Set value equal to" from the Dynamic list function.The list displays, but the value defaults to 0. What am I missing?
<?php
echo '<select name="firstnumber" id="number">';
for ($j=0; $j<11; $j+=1)
echo "<option value=\"$j\" <?php if (!(strcmp(\"$j\",5))) {echo \"selected=\"selected\"\";} ?>$j</option>\n";
echo '</select>';
?>
Thanks,
Tim

The problem is that you have nested PHP tags inside a PHP block. You can't do that. In fact, it's surprising that the code works at all. Normally, nesting PHP tags inside a PHP code block will trigger a syntax error.
Also, your code is very difficult to read because of the way you use double quotes all the time. It's best to use single quotes for strings, except when you need to display the value of a variable inside a string. You can also nest double quotes inside a single-quoted string and vice versa, making for code that's much easier to read without all the backslashes.
This is how I have rewritten your code:
<select name="firstnumber" id="number">
<?php
for ($j=0; $j<11; $j+=1) {
echo "<option value='$j'";
if (!(strcmp($j,5))) {
echo 'selected="selected"';
echo ">$j</option>\n";
?>
</select>

How to grab the value from a drop down list inside a table cell

Hello,
My situation is I have a few columns displayed in a table format using repeater tag. Some cells is a dropdown list(<netui:select /> tag). My question is how can I grab the value when user made a selection.
I believe I can get the row index but I can't use the datasource attribute to get the user selection since it is in a repeater. All the cell use the same datasource and workshop will give "NULL" value when there are more than one tag bind to the same form valiable.
Any suggestion are very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance.
My snippet code are:
<netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.ownedTask}"><netui-data:repeaterHeader></netui-data:repeaterHeader>
<tr valign="top">
<td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.userName}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.nameList}" onChange="getUser()" ></netui:select>
</td>
<td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.empDept}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.deptList}" onChange="getSelectedDept()" ></netui:select>
</td>
<td><netui:label value="{container.item.status}" />
</td>
</tr>
</netui-data:repeaterItem>
<netui-data:repeaterFooter></netui-data:repeaterFooter>
</netui-data:repeater>

Getting the value from a Drop Down Box

I'm working on a database project to keep track of our Blackberrys. The problem I'm having is entering the values for two drop down boxes. The page I'm working on enters the FirstName, LastName, Department, and Location. Department and Location have thier own Primary Keys and are foreign keys in the Person table. Departments and Locations are aligned by numbers like 1 = Ohio, 2 = Chicago. They
don't automatically increase. The problem I'm having is entering them as a foreign key in the Person Table. I'm not sure if I use a getValue or getSelected or some other code to get the values to populate in the Person Table. I just keep getting a can't add department or location to table.
public String newUser_action() {
// TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
// case name where null will return to the same page.
if (personDataProvider.canAppendRow()) {
try {
RowKey rowKey =
personDataProvider.appendRow();
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.FIRSTNAME", rowKey,
firstName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LASTNAME", rowKey,
lastName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.DEPTID", rowKey,
department.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LOCATIONID", rowKey,
location.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.BEGINDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
//personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSONDEVICE.AQUIREDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
personDataProvider.commitChanges();
info("New User " + newUser.getText() +
" added to USER table");
newUser.setText(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Cannot add new User ", e);
error("Cannot add new User: " +
e.getMessage());
} else {
log("Cannot append new User");
error("Cannot append new User");
return null;

How to Populate a drop down list using the values of a text field?

Hi,
I wanted to Populate the items of my drop down list according to the value entered in the textfield above it?
also the value of list remains consistent in other rows also where i am using the drop down list field.
Please Try to help me in this query.
Thanks in Advance!!!
I am using Javascript in adobe version ES 8.2.

Part II:
If you have other items for your droplist(s) that are to appear in addition to the "variable language" entered by a user you can add that to the script. For example in addition to the Party1 and Party2 name appearing in my droplist I also want the list to have an option for a user to select: The parties jointly. I add this to the script:
this.addItem(Party1.rawValue);
this.addItem(Party2.rawValue);
this.addItem ("The parties jointly");
If you have trouble making it work, post a bit of your actual form requirements.

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

Firefox 3 used to have a drop down list under the back button for recent pages. How do I get this in FF4?

FF3 used to have a drop down list of the most recent pages that a tab had displayed under the back arrow button. FF4 does not appear to have this. How can I see history of what's been displayed in the tab say four or five pages back?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

In Firefox 4, how do I get back the context menu for the drop down list of the Location Bar so I can Open Link in New Tab, which I did often in FF 3?

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?

See also:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

Drop Down List - Setting the Default Selected Item

I have a drop down list in my application that gets populated by a remote database. When you select an item from the list, a screen full of thumbnails is populated based on the selection. We have decided that when the user gets to this component in our air application, that it looks too empty and barren. All that displays is a drop down list with an empty screen. So we would like to set a default setting for the drop down list so that when the user gets to this component, a screen full of thumbnails is awaiting them and they can change it if they want. My first instinct was just to set the selectedIndex property of the drop down list to the value that we want as the default, and that works, but it only changes the label in the dropdownlist, it doesn't actually populate the screen with the thumbnails. That is because when an item is selected, it has to be commited to the drop down list by a CLOSE event that then sets off the close handler that populates the screen with thumbnails. So after looking at the documentation, I found that there is a method called closeDropDown that states the following:
closeDropDown
method
public function closeDropDown(commit:Boolean):void
Close the drop-down list and dispatch a DropDownEvent.CLOSE event.
Parameters
commit:Boolean — If true, commit the selected data item.
When I use this method, nothing happens. In fact if I add a listener for the CLOSE event, the close event isn't getting fired. So I am a little befuddled. The only thing that I can figure is that I am setting the selectedIndex and not the selectedItem before I call the closeDropDown method, and if you look above, the documentation vaguely states that that "If true, commit the selected data item". Do I need to set the selectedItem and not the selectedIndex? If so, I am not exactly sure how to do this since I am using a service to populate my drop down list which kind of makes the dataprovider a little unclear to me in the code because it gets replaced by an AsyncListView. Here is what I have.
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
        protected function dropDownList_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void{
          getAllAudio_descriptionsResult.token = audiodescriptionsService.getAllAudio_descriptions();
          getAllAudioResult.token = audioService.getAllAudio();
     private function audioDescriptionsCallResponderHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
          audioDesc = event.result as ArrayCollection;
     private function audioCallResponderHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
          audio = event.result as ArrayCollection;
          audioDescDropDown.selectedIndex = 2;
          audioDescDropDown.closeDropDown(true);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
     <s:CallResponder id="getAllAudio_descriptionsResult" result="audioDescriptionsCallResponderHandler(event)"/>
     <audiodescriptionsservice:AudiodescriptionsService id="audiodescriptionsService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/>
     <s:CallResponder id="getAllAudioResult" result="audioCallResponderHandler(event)"/>
     <audioservice:AudioService id="audioService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:DropDownList id="audioDescDropDown" x="43" y="65" width="185" height="34" fontFamily="MyriadProSemiBold"
                    fontSize="15" skinClass="skins.VideoSkins.Video.DropDownSkin"
                    color="0xE6E6E6" selectionColor="0x054F7C" rollOverColor="0x007CBA"
                    creationComplete="dropDownList_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="audioCatName"
                    itemRenderer="renderers.DropDownList3" close="DDLAudioCloseHandler(event)">
     <s:AsyncListView list="{getAllAudio_descriptionsResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
I would really appreciated hearing from anyone who has experience or insight into setting a default for a drop down list and actually forcing it to execute that default selection. Any thoughts at all would be helpful. Thanks!

I don't see your close handler in the code you posted, so if you provided it and I missed seeing it, please forgive me. I'm a bit unclear on why the open and close of your dropdown list is so critical to your functionality. It seems to me that the page of data would be tied to the item selected in the drop down (which to my mind is the only purpose for the drop down to be there). So why do you first need to open and close the drop down, rather than just taking the selected value and doing whatever you'd normally do with it to populate that page?
What I'm getting at is that I'd expect that page to be a separate component that would just have a property for the selected "thing", and that you could populate it either manually, as I suggested, or through the close handler on your drop down--I wouldn't think that there should be a need to go through the close handler every time. Even if you don't have it implemented the way I'm thinking, you may want to think about whether you need to go through the close handler every time, or whether you could break it out so that the close handler simply determines which item to select, then jumps to another function that actually does something with the selected value. That way, you don't have to go through the overhead of opening and closing the drop down if you need to change its value programmatically.
