Now you see me

How can I get a sub form to be visible or hidden based on the state of a checkbox
See
http://www.madera-county.com/index.php/forms-and-documents/category/8-administration-docum ents?download=5090:2014-01-04-00-28-25
I have the sub forms only show when the checkboxes are checked but when I uncheck them nothing happens.
On top of that when a user goes to save a document it resets the state of the sub forms and they are invisible again.
Can you help me work through this.

Below is what shows under the one of the two subforms that need to be able to disappear and reappear (Plus save at whatever state they are left at.)
are you saying to replace:
if ((this.resolveNode("$").rawValue == null || this.resolveNode("$").rawValue == "")) {
  this.resolveNode("Transfer").presence = "hidden";
with
if ($.rawValue==1)then
yoursubform.presence="visible"
else yoursubform.presence="hidden"
endif
or are you saying I should add the above code along with the rest of the code
(Below is the complete subform code and only for reference)

  • USB Airdrive (802.11n Airport)--Now you see it...

    When I set up my new Airport last night, I plugged it into my 500GB Lacie Mini Drive (the one with the built-in USB hub), which immediately showed up in the finder as a network drive. However, the connection to the cable modem was wonky and I couldn't get online because I wasn't getting an IP address. After resetting the modem about 10 times, it finally started feeding an IP to the Airport, allowing me to go online--but now, the USB drive doesn't show up at all.
    I've tried all the solutions recommended here--verifying the options in the Airport Disc Utility, trying different cables, making sure the cables are firmly seated, etc., and nothing makes a difference. I've naturally reset the Airport to factory defaults and it's the same story--the drive doesn't show up at all, but at least I get an IP address instantly now. I've also verified that the drive works by connecting it directly to my Macbook. Anyone have a clue as to why the drive would show up at first, then vanish as soon as I got online? I'm at an absolute loss.

    This n Airport is so unreliable it's amazing. I posted this the other day with similar issues. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=848982&tstart=50
    The hard drives disconect at will. Even while in use. In my case running backup scripts. And the network speed for the USB hard drives are so slow it's basically unusable. For me it is. Drives show up as a network drive icon and sometimes it shows up as a regular blue folder. ***.
    Internet connection is the same. Random. Wake my MBP from sleep, it connects to the Airport but there is no internet. Restart the Airport - nothing. Restart the computer nothing.
    I'm on my computer and network for about 18 hours of 24 each day. I've been runing the AEBS g router. NOT ONE INTERUPION for over a year.Power three computers and two xbox's. 100% reliable.
    This new router is a huge disappoint for me. And towards Apple. MacBooks that needed repair. MacBook Pro that needed repair. And now this new n Airport.
    I'm back to my UFO g Airport. The new one sitting in a drawer.
    Apple you are the new Microsoft. Us loyal Apple users forever are disrespected n=ow by Apple. We've stood by Apple and this is our reward. Version 1 of anything is a bug trap. just like Microsoft. The philosophy of release and fix it is bogus. And Apple will find out the true hard way now as it turns itself into a mainstream electronic company. Try this bugging crap on 100 million people instead of us 15 million Apple users and see how fast Apple goes in the toilet.
    I recommend as I did to my brother tonght to stay away from this new n Airport. Either wait or stick with the old UFO style. Or go to another company now. Belkin maybe.
    Now I have to go cancel my preorder of Apple TV. Ordered at the same time as this worthless Airport n. I can't imagine the bugs that will come with that version one model.

  • WRT600N , USB Drive now you see it now you dont

    hooked up my WD 1200 passport USB drive to my WRT600N.  I could see it and i successfully completed a back up from my main machine to the drive. Pressed "safely disconnect drive" from the web UI and now when i reconnect the drive to the router it is no longer recognized.  The drive works fine when i connect it directly to my PC but not the router.  In addition i have tried several other USB devices including a SD card reader and even the SD card is recognized  by the router.  Any one have an idea of whats going on?  Also I have flashed the router with the latest FW from the website.

    if you have a cordles phone..check if it is giving out a 2.4 ghz signal output... if it does then i might be the one causing the issue... try connecting without the cordless phone then check if it works
    if you dont have a cordless phone.. change the channel!

  • Help...Now you see it.. Now you don't the amazing ...

    so here is the strange a wonderful tale of my Fibre order..
    We live in a **bleep** speed area, we have 4 kids who like to stream...after checking month after month and seeing fibre is not here yet, it was like a jubilee year when finally the message came that infinity was availible.  So with better speeds we looked to switch to Phone,TV, and unlimited Infinity.  
    Went through the forms and ordered all, Picked a delivery date of the 15th of April and had letters from BT confrming the order and from Sky letting us know that they have relinquished responsibility and passed the baton to BT from the 15th. 
    Now we have just got a text telling us there is a problem and an UPDATE ..yes UPDATE will not be avalible until the 16th of April !!.  As you can imagine I felt like shrek duped by ruplestltskin. I check on BT.com and guess what Infinity is not availible and may be sometime between April and May 14... just like it would be in Nov 13..Dec 13. 
    So now I will have no TV as Sky TV ends as I switched to BT, No Broadband, possibly Phone so maybe the kids can randomly call strangers to pass the time whilst not being able to revise homework or unwind with a movie. 
    I cannot believe that BT can take an order and liaise with my old provider to cancel the contract when they cannot deliver what I have ordered.  I checked Opem reach and my exchange is taking Fibre order so I am damm confused and a little upset. 
    In the words of Roger Waters from Pink Floyd "is there anybody Outhere" who can help?? or had a similar experience

  • Metadata - now you see it now you don't

    Is there any way to use Bridge/ Bridge Raw in order to simultaneously apply templates to multiple images? I can do individual jpgs opened in PS CS4, but not batched in Bridge. Am I applying DNG templates that are stripped once they go into .psd or .jpg? 
    When I see and ok a template name after using Shift+Opt+Cmd+i, and after clicking OK, it doesn't actually apply what is shown as the template. You have to click the template again in the list to apply it. Is there a workaround?
    Not sure how many images I have sent out devoid of copyright protection because of this.

    How about asking in the Bridge Forum?

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum RAID0 array - now you see it...now you don't :(

    Hi all!
    I've been reading up on the issue where your RAID will show up in XP just fine, and then after a reboot, it will be missing.
    I (fortunately) am not trying to boot from the RAID0 array - I just use it for video processing - so it's more of an annoyance when XP sees my "D:" drive one time, and then not the next. It seems random.
    I read some old messages from '05 where someone had success using the RAID nForce3 5.10 drivers for the HAL during the XP "F6" install, then using an nForce4 driver for just the CONTROLLER. Another person suggested using a BETA nForce3 6.11 for RAID and CONTROLLER, then loading the nForce Unified Remix drivers from GURU3D.COM for the XP drivers once Windows is loaded.
    My problem (besides being long-winded) is that I want to avoid having to re-install the HAL to get these new drivers loaded (I did load the latest Unified Remix drivers from GURU3D into XP itself, but it didn't fix the RAID issue...so I imagine newer drivers are needed in the HAL)
    Last year I happened across a message somewhere that mentioned it's possible to "trick" XP into loading a new HAL by beginning an XP install (or repair or something) and then ending it at some point after the HAL was stored but before anything was overwritten....
    Does this ring a bell with anyone?
    So I guess my 2 questions are:
    1) Do you think this mixing of nForce3 RAID and nForce4 CONTROLLER drivers will fix this intermittent RAID issue?
    2) How can the HAL be reloaded with the new mixed-bag of drivers without a full XP reinstall?
    Thanks all!   
    -Greg

    Thanks for the quick response!
    My situation is actually a little different...I already have the latest .SYS file in the system32\drivers dir, and I am able to boot windows fine since I don't boot from the RAID, but my problem is the drivers that are stored in the Hardware Abstract Layer are causing problems with Windows being able to see the RAID consistently so I need to get the latest drivers into the HAL....hopefully without a full reload.
    ...and then I need to know exactly which drivers have fixed this issue...
    I can see the article in my mind describing how to load a new HAL but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it! :(
    Thanks!
    -Greg

  • Now you see it, now you don't

    This is one of the worst kind of problems to solve. I used a
    program that
    had a setting to create an SWF file as output.
    This is the code it created for me. It works fine on most pcs
    but on others
    nothing happens!
    Its baffled me for 2 weeks and I have witnessed the error but
    cant find a
    local browser or security setting to fix it. The first thing
    to check is if
    auto settings have turned off shockwave flash files or
    failing plugins.
    However, this week I reinstalled vista from scratch on a
    laptop with all
    updates and plugins and on this laptop even I can not view it
    with any
    tested browser, it just shows a single black line. However as
    said, it seems
    to work on most other pcs. I wonder if someone can point me
    in the right
    direction.. I did find a google tip to simplify the code and
    that fixed it
    for one person, but even this simplified code does not show
    the file on the
    laptop
    This is the (somtimes) erroring code created by the program I
    used.

    One other little problem. On my other pc it works until I
    have been using
    the pc for a while and then it constantly reloads at the
    second or third
    frame, restarting the pc flushes out memory and it fires into
    life again,
    works perfect then. However, other swf files continue to work
    without
    constantly reloading even when my pc is low on resources. So
    any tip about
    use of cache to aid performace would come in handy.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Are you sure the version info is correct in the HTML you
    posted? That
    is, which version of the Flash Player did you publish the swf
    to?
    Your question might be better asked on a Flash forum - this
    one is for

    Hello!
    I have a very stupid problem - when I add components to JApplet, sometimes they are shown, and sometimes they are not. I will try to describe in few words what I do, and where problem "attacks". I'm developing application for knowledge assessment (something like complex quizzes) over the Web. I dinamically generate HTML containing <applet>, and pass parameters from JavaScript. So, first, browser parses the HTML, and creates my applet (calls init() etc), and makes it visible. This applet has additional method "public void passData(String data)". Then, at some point later JavaScript calls this method and passes initialization data, based on which I create additional jcomponents in applet. And here is the problem - sometimes, those components are shown, and sometimes, they are not. I even tried to call invalidate() and repaint() after everything is added, and it does not help. Then I went to next question, and back, then next and back - the result is: applet sometimes shows those components, and sometimes not. I tried to reproduce this behavior by using JFrame. I do not know if reasons are the same as in the case of JApplet, but I achieved similiar behavior. This is the code:
    package test;
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
    public class Main2 extends JFrame {
         public Main2() {
              buildGUI();
         private void buildGUI() {
              this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,300));
              this.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              JLabel lab = new JLabel("Evil!!!");
              lab.setOpaque(true);
              lab.setBackground(Color.RED);
              this.getContentPane().add(lab,BorderLayout.CENTER);
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              Main2 m = new Main2();
              m.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
              m.pack();
              m.setVisible(true);
              m.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Right"),BorderLayout.EAST);
              // m.repaint();
                    // m.invalidate();
    }If you run this program several times, sometimes label "Evil!!!" (red background) will be the only displayed component, and sometimes both components will be displayed (with or without m.repaint() and m.invalidate()). Calling buildGUI() within SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) instead from constructor directly also does not solve the problem. Also, adding second label ("Right") from SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...) instead directly also does not solve the problem.
    However, if I call m.setVisible(true); after addition of "Right"-label (even if JFrame is already shown by previous m.setVisible(true);), everything works fine.
    In case when "Right"-label is not shown, there is simple action to make is show itself - it is enough to resize window by mouse - "Evil!!!" will be shorten, and "Right" will be shown.
    In case with JApplet, where I can not decide when the browser will show applet, I even created custom jcomponents, and added println-s in paintComponent() to see if this method is called - it is called every time. But component is not shown every time. Could it be that some parent component uses double buffering, and ignores it's children? Those parent components, in my case, are standard swing containers (such as JPanel).
    Help!
    Or to state the problem simply: how to add new components to a container that is already visible, and be sure that added components will actualy be shown?

    Or to state the problem simply: how to add new components to a
    container that is already visible, and be sure that added components will actualy be shown? container.revalidate(); // for a Swing container
    container.validate(); // for an AWT container
    This essentially invokes the LayoutManager so the components can be layed out correctly and repainted.
    Sometimes if you remove and add a component back at the same position you will also need to use repaint(), since the LayoutManager doesn't recognized a change in the layout. But generally you don't need repaint();

  • 2.0 sync problems with apps -- now you see 'em...now you don't!

    What a disaster! A waste of money and a waste of my time!
    Got the 2.0 update (after just paying for the "January update"...but decided to bite the bullet and try all the "new stuff".
    Downloaded about 30 free apps and paid for over $60 worth of other apps and utilities.
    Everything worked fine for 2 days while I was downloading and paying from iTunes and my Windows PC.
    Then yesterday I decided to purchase some more directly from the iPod using the "App Store" icon. The apps downloaded and I was able to play them.
    Today I charged my iPod in the dock, launched iTunes and pressed "sync" to get the apps on the iPod back to my PC.
    Got a lot of errors and warnings (Some items were not copied because you are not authorized to play them..."
    Now ALL of the apps I purchased are missing from the iPod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Tried a sync again, reset the iPod, but nothing has changed!
    This is really pi$$ing me off!
    Anyone else have this? Any known solutions?
    Also noticed the "authorized computer" count has dropped from 5 to 3 on some other items. Something seriously screwed up with this.

    maybe you werent signed into ur itunes account or the apps you want to sync are unchecked in the 'applications' tab that comes up when u sync your ipod....?

  • Adobe Fangsong Standard ... now you see it, now you don't

    By way of relaxation, I'm using our favourite software to produce a translation of a book about the harmonium. Now, the convention for indicating registration (which stops to use) for a standard French harmonium uses letters and numbers in circles: so I was pleased to discover that Adobe Fangsong Standard (which arrived when I installed FM 9.0) includes these, and also pleased to discover that with a bit of persistence FM 9.0 can be persuaded to display Unicode characters such as U2460.
    All the more disappointing, then, to create a .pdf (Acrobat Pro Extended) from my first source-file and find that it just gives me a placeholder "crossed-out box". Any hints or tips on how to get these characters all the way from screen to paper will be welcome!

    Thanks for the tip, Michael; I've checked, and now observe the following.  AdobeFangsongStd-Regular.otf is indeed in the folder E:\adobeCS\Adobe FrameMaker 9\fminit\fonts\adobe [same drive as Acrobat]  My Distiller font setting already included E:\adobeCS\Adobe FrameMaker 9\fminit; adding the full path to the sub-folder \fonts\adobe in the Distiller settings has not, alas, resolved the problem :-{  What should I try next?

  • Weird - Now you see them, now you don't.

    I was organizing and browsing an iPhoto library recently when something really weird happened.
    The photos (a handful) of one roll were "open" and visible in the Library (view by Roll, sort by date) and then, all of the sudden, all the images in that roll disappeared. I wasn't even doing anything with them. The thumbnail images of the photos were replaced by some generic-looking placeholder graphic, outlined by a dotted-line-border. When I tried double-clicking on individual photos in this roll, I would get the same placeholder graphic, just larger.
    Even weirder was the fact that, while scrolling through the various rolls in the Library, the thumbnails for that roll would occasionally pop into view (where they should be, in their roll's row) for a split-second, only to disappear. That would suggest the photos are "there" somewhere.
    Any clues as to what's going on?

    This sounds like your database has been corrupted.
    Some things to try: Rebuild the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
    If that doesn't work Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Jdeveloper/Business Rules exception: Now you see it, now you don't

    Hi all,
    odd thing happened to me yesterday. I'm doing a business rules proof of concept and came across a 'MultipleDefinitionException' when running unit a test function. I fixed the xml used to define my facts (or so I thought) but the problem persisted. I spent the afternoon reloading facts/JaxB, rebuilding the application, adding and deleting and readding the offending statement in my function, but admitted defeat and shut down my PC in disgust.
    I came in this morning and - Lo and behold! - the problem has disappeared! I can't even post you a stack trace. But I don't think that the error per se is the problem here.
    Has anyone seen this behavior before? Am I missing something fundamental?
    Using Jdev 11.1.1.5.0
    Thanks,
    Rory

    Glenn,
    Glad that worked in your version. You probably can turn the date imprint off in the various cameras for the future but healing or cloning is the only way I know to get rid of it once it's there.

  • /CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc - now you see it, now you don't.

    I'm trying to use this amazingly useful facility, by putting the url of my CFC into my browser and watching it redirect to a page describing the CFC's contents. Usually, I get asked to enter my RDS password, do so, and get the documentation.
    "Sometimes", I get "File not found: /CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc"
    No, I can't define "sometimes" beyond "when I least want it to do this"
    This is a development server, not set up by me, and for some reason I don't understand /CFIDE is mapped to somewhere odd (C:\webspace\applications\betaApp01\www\CFIDE, which is in the depths of another app.)
    The files really are there as far as I can see, and it usually works. Only, sometimes, it doesn't
    Any ideas what I need to look for that might produce this "sometimes"?
    In case it matters:

    That's a very good suggestion, but no, I'm not using a different domain. I've got one url to my CFC folder saved, and I use it every time.
    Indirectly, though, that leads me to another interesting symptom. "I could try out that localhost idea by remoting onto the server", I thought to myself. So I did, and found myself looking at the CFadmin session that I'd been successfully running at the same time as the cfcexplorer session on my own PC was failing.
    http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
    works, every time (touching wood, and with fingers crossed), and that's the same CFIDE (or should be)
    Using a mapping for CFIDE is the default way CF is set up, the last few times I've installed it. I'd expect it to point at a slightly more normal place, though, like C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE (which exists)
    I'm beginning to wonder if there's Something Odd (tm) down at the IIS level, and "sometimes" means "when someone else has been doing things to it".

  • Internet connection. Now you see it, now you don't, now you see it, now...

    If I connect my G4 by cable to my D-Link ADSL2+ modem I have no problem in connecting to the internet.
    If I connect both the modem and G4 by cable to my Airport Extreme 802.11n I have problems: Our MacBook connects to the resulting network for approx 60 seconds then a small window appears, example: 'IP Configuration. 88.107.203.224 in use by 00:1b:63:f1:21:d9, DCHP Server 192.168.1.1. OK' and the connection is dropped. I click OK and the window closes and connection is picked up again. 60 seconds later the window appears again, connection is dropped, I click OK, the window closes and connection is picked up again and so on, ad infinitum. And that's on a good day.
    As the AE connection is dropped the G4 connection is dropped too. When it is connected Network Status in the Network Preference says, example: 'Built-in Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 88.107.207.224. You are connected to the internet by built-in ethernet'. When it is not connected it says 'The cable for built-in Ethernet is connected but your computer does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Ethernet'.
    I have trawled though pages and pages of discussions regarding 'similar' problems and have found and tried umpteen 'solutions' all to no avail (if I tell you how long this has been going on for you won't believe me!). What have I missed, what am I doing wrong?

    When I said that the modem is correctly connected when the problem occurs I did mean that it is connected to the AEBS WAN port.
    Yes, I am certain that the modem is connected to the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). It is shown clearly in the illustration on page 6 of the booklet Airport Extreme Setup Guide and is clearly marked on the product.
    This is the most frustrating experience I've had in almost 20 years of using Macs - but I will overcome.
    My new iMac arrives on Tuesday. This will have an appropriate Airport card fitted. Starting from scratch with it, and with the G4 out of the network, I should be able me to establish whether or not my Airport Extreme is functioning properly. I'll let you know how I get on.
