Special Characters in button text property?

I am trying to create two buttons; 1 up and 1 down for sorting data in a list. How can I, without using images, put arrows on the buttons? I have looked at special characters in the unicode chart and while they show up correctly (using &#8593) in the WD editor, the browser renders the text as '&#8593'.
I'm pretty new to this sort of thing so I might be missing something obvious..feel free to point this out if so!

Trying to avoid the usage of images as the list, with 2 images per 'row', can contain upwards of 2000 items. This would cause extra overhead.

How can I enter special characters in a text title?

Hello to all!
Have been trying to get in a special character [the tick mark] onto a text title on my current project. Had gone to the special character option under EDIT menu, and added the desired special character to the 'favourite' list, but after that I do not know how to move ahead. Would like help.
Thanks to all.
Dr. Somanna

Thank you for your reply.
However I am afraid that neither double click nor drag/drop is adding the character to the text.
Is there any other method to get special characters into FCPX?

Special Characters in Long Text Field of FI Documents

Hi,
Users entered the following in the long text field of a FI document:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment (Refer to XXX/YY-053/2009, XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
The default editor used is the one which looks like the MS Word.
When we changd to the other editor (Goto > Change Editor), we see the following:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment to Thailand (Refer to"
"XXX/YY-053/2009<(>,<)> XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
How did "<(>,<)> " comes about?
Any ideas?

I'd probably use a regex of "allowed" characters rather than a list of "disallowed" characters, but thats just a difference in approach.
I would probably use a regular expression - alphanumeric is fairly easy to check
String value = request.getParameter("enteredField");
boolean alphaNumericOnly = value.matches("\\w+");As a matter of being nice to the user, you can also do this check in javascript on the client side.
ALWAYS validate server side.
Optionally validate client side to give the user a better experience (less round trip requests)

Special characters in short text to get replaced...

Hi,
Iam working on a code.
Now I am doing something like follows:
LOOP AT IT_FMTABLES into IT_FMTAB.
P_TABLE = IT_FMTAB-STRUCTURE.
ENDLOOP.
IT_FMTAB is a structure and IT_FMTABLES is a internal table. There is a short text name gets populated in IT_FMTAB-STRUCTURE.
I want if short text (IT_FMSTRUCTURE) contains any of the fields like / or : charcters it should get replaced by '_'
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi,
How can I combine these two replace statement in one ?
Replace all occurrences of ':' in IT_FMTAB-STRUCTURENAME with 'to'.
Replace all occurrences of '/' in IT_FMTAB-STRUCTURENAME with '_'.

Rajesh.

Creating Text files with special characters

I have a problem writing and then reading special characters in a text file. I am using FileWriter and FileReader and once I write (using FileWriter) in a file.txt many characters with ASCII code less than 31, I can not read them back using FileRead. I simply get a content which is different from the one originally written.
Does anyone have an idea about this problem ?

The code is OK, problems may have occured during copy/paste. But in the original code it is written c.

How to handle special characters in Stage web view with Load URL method?

Hi,
I have Latin special characters in my text. My HTML content contains the text as well as the image. If I use stage webview LoadString, images will not be displayed. But my latin characters are displayed correctly.
If I use LoadURL method, the images are displayed correctly but I have problem in displaying the latin special characters. How to solve this issue?

Don't pass data values in URLs. Whilst it is possible to escape values to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Create a surrogate primary key on the table that is an immutable discrete numeric identifier and only use this as a URL parameter. In target pages/regions, use this PK value to retrieve the required data from the table.

Now when I do the same in Europe system it is giving me the above error.Europe is on a unicode system whereas North America is not. May be if this helps.
Thanks,

You need URL Encoding not HTML tags in order to show special
characters from
your text file:
%26 for & and %3F for ?

Dynamicaly change submit button text?

Is there a way to do this based on what screen you are on inside of web determinations?, I attempted editing messages.en.properties and using a substitute attribute %textSubmitButton% instead of submit and set that attribute to "testing" within the rulebase, but the submit button displayed %textSubmitButton%, Is there another way to do this?

You can override the default text displayed for the submit button by subscribing to the OnApplyTemplatesEvent and altering the value of the 'submit-button-text' property in the screen context based on the current screen being rendered.

Entering special characters for Social Beat on G'Zone Ravine?

I've figured out how to enter special characters in a text, or in mobile IM. But I am unable to find a method for doing so in Social Beat. My username and password both use special characters, but I cannot find the option to enter these.

Thank you for your inquiry and I apologize for any confusion. I am providing you steps for how to change your symbols to special characters when your at the long in screen when using the Social Beat application. I was able to locate this information from the online user manuel and here is a link for further reference. I hope these steps as listed below helps.
To using Symbol Text Input to insert symbols or punctuation, follow these steps from the text entry screen:
1. Press the Left Soft Key, select Symbols, then press the Center Select Key [OK].
2. Press the Right Soft Key [Next] to view the next 12 symbols or Left Soft Key [Prev] to view the previous 12 symbols.

After Effects 7 for Windows - How to enter special characters

How can I enter special characters in a text layer? Like ampersand, french double quotes etc.
Using an Alt-Numpad combination doesn't work, neither does typing the text in an editor and trying to copy and paste it to AE.
Best regards,
Christian Kirchhoff

Make sure your operating settings match AE's language. Also pick such characters from a font that supports the correct Unicode range (the default system fonts for instance). If that still fails, restart your system and/ or AE. This may take several attempts and is annoying, but these issues have no clear pattern to them, so it's hard to make out the exact cause.

How to preserve special characters in dynamic textfield for text comparison?

The problem is as follows:
Since I mostly develop for multiple languages I am forced to have dynamic textfields in my buttons which contain three lines (to account for the differnt text.lengths in different languages).
I then populate the textfields with strings out of an array or xml and use the textfields contents later in my button class to execute different code depending on the textfields content.
This works fine as long as I don`t use any special characters, like for example "\n".
var labels:Array = ["\nLABEL1","LABEL\n\n2"];
switch (e.currentTarget.txt.text)
 case labels[0]:
 doSomething();
 break;
 case labels[1]:
 doSomethingElse();
 break;
shows the right thing in the button label (breaks the text were I want it)
but stops to work
(with htmlText & its the same)
my workaround for the moment is to use filler spaces,
var labels:Array = [" LABEL1","LABEL 2"];
but that`s obviously ugly to setUp and requires a lot of trial/error to get it right for all languages.
Any ideas how to bypass that?

Bad habits die hard ;-)
Weird enough spelling the problem out and getting this response from you cleared my head and I finally got an easy solution.
I simply attach a dynamic property to the movieclip, copy the array contents into them and instead of using the text-property for comparison I compare the MovieClips fresh created spectext property.
Voila: Now I can be lazy without too much of a bad conscience.

I have a Flash Sample to rotate images and text but I not find a way to display special characters

Hello everyone.
I bought a very nice Flash application that rotate images, and text of any color and size. It use an XML input file.
I've posted here, a complete copy, so any of you can download, view and use it freely.
I would appreciate if any of you know how to do, so that the text displayed, including the characters I use in my language (Spanish), such as á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and other special characters.
In fact, I could not find a way to do it, because I'm not expert Flash, and less in ActionScript.
If any of you would help me on that, I thank you implement the appropriate adjustments and compressed into a. zip file, and let me know where to download it, or if you prefer you can send it to my email: [email protected]
After all compressed in .zip format is a very small file: 430K.
Click here to download the complete sample.
Thanks.

Hello Rinus,
If I understood your last post correctly, then problem 2 is resolved, right?
Regarding problem 3:
I'm not asking you to share exact VIs.
I just want to see a very simple VI that explains the concept of what you're trying to do, what should happen (this can be in words that refer to the front panel elements) and what you've tried.
The terminology you're using isn't clear to me without an extra explanation.
This could even be only a Front Panel with a few buttons on where you just describe what should happen with specific controls/indicators.
Based on the first post it is not clear to me what you mean with:
- A "button element":
Are you talking about a control, an indicator, a cluster that contains multiple control?
- The structure:
Is this an event structure, case structure, for loop, ...?
Is it seems like you want to programmatically control Front Panel objects, which on itself is no problem at all independent of how many objects you want to control.
Please share with me simple example of what goes wrong and explain which things should happen on that specific Front Panel.
This will allow me to help you and also allow me to guide you along the right path.

Special characters into datagrid through the use of buttons

Hi!
I have a datagrid for word input, I'm trying to create a "special characters" panel, kind of like google's new "virtual keyboard" thing on google.com, so that the user can enter data into the datagrid cells using characters that aren't on their keyboards.
I manage to do this just fine, using the solution below. I know this is probably not the best/most effective way to do this, so any suggestions for making the code better will be appreciated. I only started using Flex a month ago.
grid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN, selectColumn)
function selectColumn(event:DataGridEvent):void
var selectedColumn:DataGridColumn = grid.columns[event.columnIndex];
selCol = selectedColumn.dataField;
//The function for adding a special character to the selected datagrid column by clicking a button:
//(inputWordArray is the dataprovider for the grid called "grid" )
protected function clickSomeButton(event:MouseEvent):void
var colIndex:int = new int;
if (selCol == "from"){
inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from + "æ";
colIndex = 0;
else if (selCol == "to"){
colIndex = 1;
inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to + "æ";
inputWordArray.refresh();
grid.dispatchEvent(new DataGridEvent(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING, false, false, colIndex, null, grid.selectedIndex));
The problem is that this only adds a letter at the end of the selected item's value, not at a specific position within the word specified by the position of the cursor. This is what I need to achieve. I have no idea even what to search for, if anyone could please give me a hint that'd be great.

You will probably need to capture the editor's selectionBeginIndex and
selectionEndIndex

Why does text on certain portions of websites, usually when adjacent text contains special characters, become jumbled into seemingly random sets of characters that are not in any way jumbled when viewing the source of the webpage? How can I fix this?

When viewing most text on most websites, it displays properly. However, there are two instances where text will either tend to, or consistently, become jumbled into a mess of seemingly random characters. Oddly enough, these seemingly random characters are not, in fact, random. The same weird character will be used to replace the same regular English text character consistently across the entire area that has been jumbled.
The two instances where this tends to occur most often, or consistently in some cases, are, first, when a paragraph or particular section of formatted text contains special characters, such as Chinese or Japanese characters, or accented letters. When this happens, usually the paragraph that contains the special characters is completely jumbled, while the rest of the text on the page will have intermittent jumbling on a word or two. Most often, the word "the" is jumbled in this case.
The second instance where this happens is when a website uses specially formatted text in some form or another. I, not being an expert at web development, am not sure what kind of formatting causes it, but I can provide consistent examples in lieu of my experience:
- Example 1:
[http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 1 shows a portion of a screen-shot of the website "Joystiq.com". Every single article title on the front page of this blog is consistently jumbled, while the text of the article itself remains untouched. Please note that when this jumbled text is highlighted, it is visible un-jumbled in the right-click menu as well as in the source code of the page. Other consistent instances can be found within many search fields on various websites. For instance, the search bar located at the top right of "Kotaku.com" consistently displays jumbled characters both on its default text of "Search" and on any text that is typed into the search box itself.
- Example 2:
[http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9564/firefoxcharencodingissu.jpg]
Example 2 shows both the jumbling of the paragraph containing the character "☆" as well as the subsequent peppering of the rest of the article's text with small jumbled words. Below this is the DOM Source of the selected text which shows how the text itself is being rendered properly within the site's source. Additionally, for convenience, I have edited on to the bottom of the image a small snippet of what the search bar on the same page looks like. Notice how the grayed-out text that normally would read "Search" is instead jumbled.
This issue has been plaguing my browser for the past year or so, and I had hoped that it would go away with subsequent Firefox updates. It has not gone away.
Thank you for reading! Please help!

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.
