£ signs change to ? in text fields

When I update data held in text type fields in an SQL 2005 table from textareas in dreamweaver '£' signs get converted to '?'.
This is part of a system allowing users to enter paragraphs of text to build up into letters fro printing direct from the browser.
e.g. "A surcharge of £350 is to be applied." will be changed to "A surcharge of ?350 is to be applied."
Both the PC I am using and the SQL server have their regional settings set to United Kingdom.
I added culture="en-GB" to the page line as follows:
<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" culture="en-GB" %>
This has had the effect of changing the default currency format to use £s but this does not solve the problem with £ signs inside a text field.

I don't know much about ASP, but the £ signs being displayed as ? is an encoding issue. Your encoding is iso-8859-1, which doesn't support the £ sign. You probably need to switch to utf-8 and make sure that the insert forms and database also use the same encoding.

Changes in the Text Field thru FB02

Hi,
I have created an accounting document thru FB01. However, there were some changes in the text field that needs to be done so I have edited the line items thru FB02. After saving the changes I viewed the data in tcode KE5Z but it seems that the changes in text were not captured in SAP Standard report. But when you double click the line item it will show the edited text.
For Example.
Document 1000001 original text is: 'Rental Charges for the month of April' ( originally created in FB01 )
Edited text thru FB02 : 'Rental Charges for the month of May'
In FB03, it will show the edited text which is 'Rental Charges for the month of May'
But in other reports such as KE5Z, it still shows the original text.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Hi Sanil,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there a way where changes in an FI Document will also update the CO line items or the profit center actual line items?
When we originally create an FI document in FB01, the text field in CO line item is also updated as to whatever text we have inputted in the document ( details were stored in BSEG ). But if changes were made, the actual line items were not updated...

Is there a way to change an interactive text field back into a picture box?

I'm working on recreating an interactive form and I mistakenly made a picture box a text field when I should have turned it into a regular text box.
I can't seem to find a way to change it back.
All my boxes are lined up and sized perfectly right now, so I'd rather not have to re-draw the box and re-align and measure everything again if I can avoid it.

Select text field with Selection tool. Object > Interactive > Convert to Object. Place your picture into the frame.

Change a UI text field from within a Thread

My program has a thread that's busy churning away. It's a runnable called from within my classes main. The UI element is built by a method in the class.
If I try to report something from within the thread by doing a myText.setText("success"); I get a crash:
Exception in thread "Thread-1" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access
followed by a bunch of SWT.error messages related to that line. The field myText is defined globally for the class.
What is a good way to be able to write stuff to a UI from within a thread? I could do it when the extended Thread was defined within my main() by creating a runnable also in my main() that got called through a syncExec. But I want to keep the main simple.

edit Noticed you're working with SWT

Change cursor over text fields

Does anyone know how to change the mouse cursor, to a karat cursor, when the mouse is "hovering" over a JTextField or JTextArea?

OK heres where I get lost...
If you run this program then move the mouse over the JTextField the JFrame will change the cursor to a TEXT_CURSOR but the JDialog will not.
Can anyone make this happen for a JDialog??
import java.awt.Cursor;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class JDialogMouseTest extends JPanel{
    JTextField textField;
    public JDialogMouseTest(){
        textField = new JTextField();
        textField.addMouseListener(new MouseListener(){
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                mouseEnteredEvent(e);
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
        add(textField);
    private void mouseEnteredEvent(MouseEvent e){
        textField.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR));
    public static void main(String[] args){
        JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
        JDialogMouseTest mouseTest = new JDialogMouseTest();
        dialog.setContentPane(mouseTest);
        dialog.pack();
        dialog.setVisible(true);
        JDialogMouseTest mouseTest1 = new JDialogMouseTest();

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

How to change a list/menu to a text field when 'Other' is chosen?

Hi there. I've been trying to solve this for a week now and I have depleted all my resources, that is why I'm here. I even went to jquery but nothing works and I think I was over-complicating this way too much.
In short: I have a contact form, which have a list/menu with validation, and one of the options of that list/menu is "other". What I want is that when the user select "other" automatically change to a text field in order to let the user put his custom color. This is what I have:
<form method="post" action="process.php">
<span id="spryselect1">
<label for="colors"></label>
<select name="colors" id="colors">
<option selected="option1">Blue.</option>
<option value="option2">White</option>
<option value="option3">Red</option>
<option value="other">other</option>
</select>
<span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select a colour.</span></span>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
I know now that the approach is to show/hide a separate textbox besides the other... well. I don't know how to implement that, I think I really need your help guys. I'm completely frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

Bar Code Field changes to Text Field

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 Windows 7 Pro
I have a form with a bar code field. Once the file is saved and re-opened the Bar Code field changes to a text field. Any clues why this would happen?

No special font. I dont think its an option for the Bar Code field
Just discovered though that it happens when I use the same field in a page template. As soon as I create a template with the Bar Code filed and save the file, it changes it to a text field.

Find Change through external text file

Hello folks
I am bit pretty in InDesign scripting so could you please look into this.
How can i change any particular text field in Indesign CS3 document from text file.
I do have find change script but for each InDesign document specific text file is assigned.
So each time i have to modify find change GREP property that is also repetetive of work. Is there any way to get find change information should be extract from external text file.
Many Tanks in advance

In the FindChangeByList script, you could customize the function myFindFile(myFilePath) {...} as to search the FindChangeList text file in the document location rather than the script location. That's an example. The question is: given a document, where will you have the corresponding FindChangeList?

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

How do I 'commit' a value in a text field with GUI scripting?

I have a script to change the dates of a "Roll" in iPhoto. I can insert the text into the proper field, but it doesn't 'stick'. When I click on another item, the text field returns to the old date. If I click on the text field before I run the script, then a Tab or Return from the keyboard will set the field properly.
Do I need to programatically set the 'focus' on the field first? Without setting the focus first, a "keystroke return" is caught by the top window and either beeps or opens a photo for edit (as one might expect).
tell text field 2
set value to rDate -rDate is a string "4/30/06"
keystroke return
end tell

Thanks for the reply. Backstory: My iPhoto library got corrupted, so I created a new one and dragged in the old Library. The Rolls all have the date the new rolls (directories) were created; all the same in this case. Sorting the rolls by date is thus nonsensical. The AppleScript for iPhoto doesn't handle what I want to accomplish, but the UI scripting might help me out.
When the whole Library is picked, you can 'view' by "Film Rolls" and the date appears in the bar above each roll of photos. You can change the date in the "Information" area available at the lower left. (The same area you change the title of the rolls or photos, too.) I want to change the roll dates to match the photos' dates.
So I fired up UI scripting and figured out that I can fetch the date range of the photos in a roll and then set a date for the roll. I can see the date change in the text field, but it doesn't 'stick'. Only if the field has been clicked on prior to running the script, can I "keystroke return" to 'enter' the field. Otherwise I'm looking for suggestions.
Slightly off topic: The whole right side of the iPhoto screen is a big black hole for UI events. You can't tell anything about it with the UI Element Inspector. I can't automagically 'pick' anything in there, so I can't 'select' the rolls from a script. I'll settle for clicking on a roll and then running a script to correct its date.
Here's the whole script, without a bit that verifies that the 'assistive devices' box has been checked in the Universal Access pref.
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iPhoto"
activate
tell window "iPhoto - rebuilt Library"
tell group 1
tell splitter group 1
tell splitter group 1
tell static text 5 --either 'from' or 'date'
set theLabel to value
end tell
if theLabel is "date" then
tell static text 6
set rDate to value
end tell
else --get date from 'to' field
tell static text 8
set rDate to value
end tell
end if
tell text field 2 --roll's date
set value to rDate
keystroke return --might not work
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

I need help with a 1 Page Form with scrollable text field (5000 limit characters) and printing

Hello, I have no training in using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Livecycle Designer so I need major help with a 1 page form that I am attempting to create. Basically the form will be used to nominate employees for a Job Well Done Award.
The form contains the following:
1.) The name(s) of the employees being nominated and the date of the accomplishment.
2.) In the middle of the page I have a section for a write up, limited to 5000 characters, this is were I am needing the most help. A couple of things, about this section: The font is set at 11 and I don't want it to change. The text field has multiple-line, scroll long text enabled. The text field is a certain size and can only hold so much text, then it starts to scroll, which I am ok with, I like that feature. The issue I am having is during printing. I would like to keep the text field scrollable but when I print I would like to be able to print everything in that field. Executing this is the problem, I have no clue how to do it. I was hoping for some setting within Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle to be available, but the more I read and research this, it appears that it may require java, xml, basically some coding. I don't know for sure.
3.) Below the text field I have another field for the person nominating to type their name and right next to that another field for a digital signature.
4.) And finally below those two fields I have a Submit button that is setup to start email application so the form can be emailed to the proper inbox.
Thank you in advance.

With an Acrobat form the only thing you can do is export the text to
another location (like a blank field on another page) or to another file
format. With an LCD form you can expand the text box itself, but you'll
need to ask about that over at the LCD Scripting forum.
