Problems with drop-down list: old references still in the model

Hi,
I am getting in troubles with a drop-down list. I configured it as dynamic list and I specified a RFC to get the values. Sometimes when I edit the field I get that the configuration for the dynamic list is lost and I have to specify again the call to the MF. I did this for a couple of times and my surprise is that the old references are still in the source code. I realized of that when I used the alias manager. The old reference were there with ENUM....To check if the old references are called I switched on the flash debug console and I show that the MF is called a lot of times...
Anybody knows how to eliminate these old reference???' One the collateral effects is that the first value of the list is always shown.

Hi Antonio, hi Marcel,
the OSS-ID is 0000337147/2007 and the final given answer from SAP was:
<i>Dear Customer,
finally I managed to repreduce your problem,
and it's a bug.
we will aim to fix it in next releases, and the new Flex 2.0 runtime
should handle this case, once it will be availible.
Regards,</i>
So it might be fixed with the actual SP, but I don't know that for sure (I rather doubt it, to be honest).
Best Regards,
Benni
PS: You might avoid the problem of re-defining the entry list, by defining it as a global entry list, not a dynamic. However, the top-most entry will still be shown!

Problem with drop down list: on Windows it works, on Mac doesn't

Dear forum,
I am reworking the MultiPageImporter2.5 script by Scott Zanelli; going to add some new features.
So far I added a drop down list so the user could choose on which pages to place a pdf/indd file: odd/even/both.
However I encountered a strange problem: on Windows it works as expected, but on Mac nothing happens when I click the popup. When I write a dialog, I almost always use automatic layout and never encountered such a problem before. But in this script the author uses fixed position for the controls so I followed his coding style:
dLog.pageSideMode = dLog.pan4.add('dropdownlist', [10,110,180,40], ["Odd and Even Pages", "Only Odd Pages", "Only Even Pages"]);
dLog.pageSideMode.selection = pageSideMode;
The drop down list is visible both on Windows and Mac, but on Mac it’s not clickable. What am I doing wrong?
Another question: in the script, the author created three popups. In the code, each popup has a different height (the last element of the “bounds” array) – 60, 88, 33. Does it make sense to make them different if on the screen they look exactly the same (I mean height).
Here’s my version of the script.
I think the easiest solution for me here is to rework the dialog part from fixed to automatic layout.
Thanks in advance.

Hi johniko,
In my version of the script, the user will have to choose a file to be placed directly in the dialog box. The selected file can be saved into a preset. I'm reworking it for another person (not for myself) and that's what he wants.
Regards,
Kasyan
P.S. By the way, you can simply merge all your pdf-files into a single document in Acrobat.

Drop-down list won't work at the bottom of a page

I'm having a problem in my forms with drop-down lists that are situated at the bottom of a page. When the list drops down, only the first few values can be chosen. Any that fall too far down the list, and thus hover over top of the next page, cannot be selected. In this situation, the scroll bar for the list actually scrolls the entire document. Very weird. Has anyone expreienced this before? Perhaps I'm making a simple mistake.

Does it help if you disable hardware acceleration ?

Need help with drop down list in parameters

Hi All,
I have the following data set:
DEPT1     DEPT2     DEPT3 DEPT4
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Accounts Payable
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Fiscal Analysis & Repo
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Inventory & Tracking
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Mobility & Congestion
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Roadway Safety
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management
Commissioner's Office     DesignProj Mgt & Tec     Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd
In plus i have four parameters with searchlight options, the problem is when i select "Finance" from DEPT2 and in the next selection level i'm seeing all the departments "Accounting,Asset Management and Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd" insted of just "Accounting". What i want is if i select a department in DEPT2, in the next drop down list(DEPT3) i want to see only the departement corresponding to the one i selected in dept2. Please need help.
Thanks

Hi
First of all you need to be using Discoverer 10g or 11g Plus not 9.0.4. Assuming you have the right version you need to present the parameters in the correct order. You can change the order on the parameters screen by selecting Tools | Parameters from the toolbar. You then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to place them in the right order so that DEPT1 is offered first, followed by DEPT2, then DEPT3 and then DEPT4.
Next, you need to check the radion button on the bottom of the right-hand side that allows linking of parameters then you make DEPT2 dependent upon DEPT1, with DEPT3 dependent upon DEPT2 and so on.
While this works without hierarchies it works best when you have a hierarchy in place and even better when there is a composite index on the 4 items.
Best wishes

Prob with drop down lists jiggling

Hi all
This is a little different than the last posted problem. When I click on a drop down list..for example a list of states, I can only scroll so far down. The list jiggles up and down, when you get only about 1/2 way down it suddenly shifts back to the top of the list. There is no way to capture for example Pa or Va.
Could it be the mouse?
Thx

Prb. solved by call the same FM with emply list in exporting.

I need help with drop down lists

I have a form that does not have lots of space and I want to use drop down lists to fill in specific information that describes site conditions. The problem I have is that the drop down list is only set up for a single line and that is not enough space for what I want in the drop down list. In other words, I have items that are several sentences. I have seen some descriptions of creating a drop down list that then fills in a text box that has multiple lines. Unfortunately, that is not an ideal solution for me. I just want the drop down list to select a single phrase. Here is an example of what I want to be able to select in the drop down.
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
The form does not allow me to create a field that goes all the way across the page so it needs to look something like this:
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes
under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was
completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks for responding.
I have three items that are very similar in length and text for each drop down. There are 9 drop downs right now. I am using the drop downs to fill in a form that is used by several people and I want to keep things as simple as possible. Associated with the drop down already is a check box. When the check box is checked, it fills in a text box with a score (1 point, 5 points, etc). That score then tallys for a total with all the other scores in another text box. Using a drop box to fill in a text box is just getting to busy and than I have to distinguish each drop down item so it is clear which text you are selecting.

Datatable with drop down list in a cell

Does anyone know the existing example of datatable against certain memory structure with possibility to have drop down list in a cell ( I mean after switching to editing mode some columns become drop down lists , otherwise just value ).
TIA
Michael

Not possible. InDesign isn't designed to be form-filling software. At best, it can create fields which can be passed on to a PDF file, which usually further has to be edited in Acrobat Pro.

Is it possible to create interactive drop down lists that reference tables on separate pages of the PDF?

I am looking to create a user input PDF in which drop down lists are utilized to search tables, however, I am not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible? Also, is it possible to write a background code that could read user inputted text to run a search or even solve some equation? Can someone let me know if these items are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be necessary to accomplish these tasks? Thanks!

PDFs have no concept of "tables" like MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.
Acrobat JavaScript does know about arrays and form fields. So one could have an array in JavaScript and fill in a series of fields that looks like a table. One can then use JavaScript to search the table.
JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user input in fields and pop-up windows.
It is possible to solve user imputed equations if the proper notation or coding is used.

Web Service with Drop Down Lists for database selections

Hello,
I want to define a Web Service with the JDeveloper which can do the following.
I´ve got a database table with several columns which represents a customer adress and name.
On a WebSite I like to have three Drop Down Lists to search in that table. The first list should include the field "name". When I select a name there the second list should show all streets (field "street") where people with the selected name live. When I select the street the third list should show me the house numbers (field "hn") of the customers with the selected name and street.
What have I to do to define a application, a project and so on?
Many Thanks!

Hello,
This question is not directly related to Web Services, since in this case you can consider that the Web Service is your "model" providing data to your view (JSP). One of the question I would like to ask you is: why do you want to use a Web Service to do that? and how you want to deploy this?
In a general manner, if you use Web Service it is to be able to reuse the business logic in other projects, so based on this statement I would create a specific project that will contain you "model" so all your services.
The to consume it from your JSP you have different ways:
- create a Java proxy, or use @WebServiceRef to call the client
- use Javascript to call the service directly from the HTML page, take a look to the Oracle Web Service endpoint page, where you can see some Javascript stub links.
Please give more details about your project and needs and I will try to give you a proper answer.

Nasty Safari 5.1 problem with drop-downs on Lion

There appears to be a nasty bug in Safari on Lion related to certain types of drop-downs where clicking on the drop-down resets the entire page. I have already encountered it on several webpages. Here is a link to a webpage which shows this behavior.
http://www.sonos.com/login/
If you scroll to the bottom half and try to create a new account, you are unable to do so since the required Country value (via drop-down) cannot be set as it resets the page whenever you click or try to access it via keyboard. I guess it is good to keep Chrome and Firefox around for pages that Safari can't handle, but it would seem that this is something basic that Apple's automated test suites should have caught. Again, it does not happen with all drop-downs, only certain types.

I had the same problem with a site I developed. I found out how to fix the problem here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7165086/clicking-safari-5-1-select-menu-refre shes-page
It's a problem with using webfonts on select forms in the CSS. If you disable the webfont on select forms, the problem goes away. Hopefully, Apple fixes the problem soon since it's a major bug. It doesn't just reload the page but it logs you out if you're signed into the site.

Create a drop down list that populates based on the selection form another drop down list.

I need to set up a drop down list that is popualated (i.e. displays a certain list of selctions in the drop down list) based on the choise the form user selects in an adjacent List
For example
There are two drop down list field sitting side by side in the form
1. Select State 2. Select Course
What I want to do is have a list of states in the first drop down list (1.Select State) and depending on which state the form user selects , the second drop down list (2.Select Course) will populate with a selction of courses available in that selected state only (i.e. it will on;y show course available in QLD if QLD is selcted).
Is this hard to do?

Hi,
I would recommend some posts from Stefan Cameron's blog:

Populate updatable drop down list based on files in the folder path

Hi,
I am a beginner in labview. I am stuggling on where to start.
Here's what I need to do.
I want to create an updatable drop down list. It can be automatic upon opening the program or manually update by clicking an update button. The drop down list will list all the filenames that are in .cvs format. These files are stored in a folder path. Insider the folder, they are stored in different subfolders, the drop box should be able to find those files inside the subfolders. Once the user select a filename from the list, the program will read the data inside that file and import into an array so I can display the data.
I have an idea on how to display the data, but I don't how to populate the drop down list based on the files in the folder, make it updatable and then import that user selected file's data into the the array.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Ruth

Yup, ListFolder with a pattern of *.csv. Then use a property node on a combo box or ring to set the items in the drop down. Here is some free training if you are interested in learning more general LabVIEW tools.

Dynamic table with drop down lists

I have a Dynamic table with a header row, Section and footer row.
Section has the following cells(columns): Cell1 (drop down with locations), button (to remove row), CCode (Color Code RAL), CName (color name).
I'm starting with 1 row.
now what I want to do is, when they select in CCode e.g. RAL 1003 (rawValue "1") then in CName the name "signal yellow" (rawValue "1") should appear.
I'm using javascript
My first problem is how do I know which value is chosen, because this isn't working:
if (this.rawValue == 1)
xfa.host.messageBox('Today')
and second how do I set the value in CName
because this only sets it in the first CName cell:
xfa.form.DataSheet.TechnicalInformation.Markings.THatchPatterns.Section.CName.rawValue = '1';
Please help me, I'm totally lost

solved the problem, instead on change event put script on exit event.
and the following line does the trick:
xfa.resolveNode("THatchPatterns.Section[" + this.parent.index + "]").CCode.rawValue = this.rawValue
