Adding white space in a form field

Hello all,
anyone know if it is possible to add whitespace in a form field.
I have an IF like this ....
<?if:WORKSITE_ADDRESS2=''?>
<?WORKSITE_ADDRESS3?> <?WORKSITE_ADDRESS4?> <?end if?>
I need a space to appear in between WORKSITE_ADDRESS3 and WORKSITE_ADDRESS4.
I can not figure out how to do that ? is it possible ? the results I get are that
the two values are shown with no space in between. Do I have to use separate form fields?
Thanks

Hi,
I hit the same issue a while back, the workaround is to use the CDATA tag. See the below post:

Thanks

PDF Report adding white spaces

NEVER MIND.... Why is their no DEL option... Added fm in front of MONTH ('DD fmMONTH YY') and its fixed.
I have a report that goes to a PDF based on a RTF template. On the Dates, the XML Feed looks fine, but when it generates the PDF it is adding random white spaces in the date.
XML Feed:
<REPORT_DATE>31 AUGUST 09</REPORT_DATE>
<ORDER_DATE>19 AUGUST 09</ORDER_DATE>
PDF Returns:
Dated 19 AUGUST 09
31 AUGUST 10
so the year is seperated from the month. The SQL is a TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'DD MONTH YY') and so on...
Any thoughts from anyone??? Please.....

White space around web form

Hi all!
I have my form set to maximize, but I'm getting about 5 or 6 pixels of white space border all the way around my form in the frame that it's in. Any idea how to make it take advatange of all the space??
Thanks!
Steve

Hi Steve,
Check your base html file for the values of HSPACE and VSPACE, they should be zero.
If you run in seperateFrame=False then put topmargin and leftmargin in the body tag like:
<BODY topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
That should help.
Good luck,
Michiel

Please help! Need to remove white space in a form.

https://acrobat.com/app.html#d=620D971lGreChvoYewoeng
I have uploaded part of my form. When the user checks all of the boxes they want on their form and hit the submit button, the unchecked boxes disappear...which is what want.
What I cannot get the form to do is remove the remaining white space within that subform so the overall form shortens. I have had my head in this for a bit and a deadline is looming!
Thank you to anyone in advance who can help!

Hi Srini,
I honestly do not know how to thank you!! You are a life saver.
I see exactly what you did and it makes perfect sense. Thank you for providing a solution and in this manner. You helped me...and I have learned something new and very helpful.
Best regards,

Adding white spaces between strings during concatenation in JSTL

Please provide a way to add white space between strings during concatenation in JSTL.
I tried the following.
eg:
<c:set var="even_odd" value="odd">
<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>
I want the output string as "first odd ".
Moreover i am using the above value for generating the class attribute of a row of a table like
<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>>
while printing the value of <c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/> in the page,i am getting correctly as i needed as "first odd".
But while taking the code of the page while rendering by the browser, it is showing like
<tr class="first" odd="">
I think the white space is the problem.
Please provide any solution or hint.

<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>><tr class="first ${even_odd}">

XSL processor adding white space

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent the XSL processor from inserting
white space as this can affect HTML table layout & other
things.
For example.
XSL contains the following: (On one line)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066"><img
src="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1"/></td>
is converted to (Three lines)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066">
<img rc="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1">
</td>

Adding 5 mins to a form field, in a library

Hi guys,
Im having a bit of trouble and would really appreciate some help. I have a date field in my form (date.start_time) in which I want to reference in a library and add 5 mins to the time (since its in the lib I am coding this I need to use name_in ). My current code is:
copy(name_in('date.start_datetime')+5/24/60 , 'DATE.END_DATETIME')
However, this seems to be erroring, could anyone help me out please?
Any help greatly appreciated.

You have to use TO_CHAR because NAME_IN and COPY use varchar2 as datatype. There is a application-property BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT (don't remember the exact name) where you get the format you need to use, it should look similar to
vcDateFormat:=GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT);
copy(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(name_in('date.start_datetime'), vcDateFormat) +5/24/60 , vcDateFormat), 'DATE.END_DATETIME');

stringBuffer.append(" ");
return string.toString();

A form field to insert white space

Hi all,
I need to insert some white space (the number of these white space is depending to some condition) in a form field.
I show in my report a value and then I must complete this value with some white space to have finally a string with a fixed number of characters.
I have a form field with a value (<?VALUE?>) and then I would insert a new form field to show only some white space. I can not add these white space directly on the field form containing the value.
Thanks

I would like to validate the below expression against the data in the column \S.* What is this expression and where did you get it from?
I guess this pattern validates for non-whitespace characters. Anyone help me on this and explain what this pattern does?No in regular expression space is represented as [:space:]

Link a Form Field to new Text Field

PDF - form field
Looking for a code to link a form field(text_1, on page #5) to
another, new form field(text_2, on pages 2-4).
Maybe a "Page Properties" action (i.e., Page Open: field text_2 = field text_1)
~~
Why....
busy but here's why
In the PDF, there are Form fields on page 5 which interface (externalinterface) with an RMA ( a SWF) on page 2.
This all works well.
As the form fields must be carried forward (from page 5 to page 2... to interface the RMA),
the orignal page 5, From fields are copied to pages 2-4 and then "Hidden".
Again, this works just fine.
A reset "action" (button) was added to, well, clear the Form Field for easy reuse.
The reset ''action' does it's job and clears ALL form fields with the same "Name".... on every /all pages.
This causes the dynamic interface, with the RMA, to display blank fields (within the SWF).
This will effect the User's experience.
~~
Work aound.....
Find a way to label the Form Fields (page 5) so that "only they" are reset, and no others.
Create a link of Form Field inputs on page 5 (with names... x,y,z),
to new Form Fields pages 2-4 (with a differnet names... a,b,c).
Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi jm,
This may be what you are after. No text wrap, but notes are there.
Type an account number into the Enquire table to get Client and Contact
Formula in B2 (and Fill Right)
=INDEX(Database::B,MATCH($A2,Database::$A,0))
Large notes display table with Wrap Text
Formula is
=INDEX(Database::D,MATCH(Enquire::$A2,Database::A,0))
All together:
Change it around if you want to look up by Client instead of Account

Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

White space after flowed layout/expandable fields?

Hi,
I have a few pages on a form with a flowed layout where the text fields expand.The problem I am having is when the text field expans and continues on the following page,its leazing an entire white space right after it.Is there a way to do this so eventhough the text field expands onto the next page,the content on the next page continues right after the expanded field without a page of white space?
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to check Allow page breaks within content option for the subform. Object > Subform > Allow page breaks within content.
By default even for the field this option would be checked if it is not You need to do samething even for the field.
This would work.

White Space After Form

I have a Salesforce form embeded into two pages on my website. Both pages have extra white space at the bottom and I can't decrease the height of the embedded HTML form in order to bring the footer up. Both forms can be found here: http://www.beck-technology.com/form.html and http://www.beck-technology.com/student_form.html.
Any ideas on how to decrease the white space?

Hello,
If you have removed the fields from the form, then you need to go to another state of the form and re-place the status message as well, to be able to shrink the form's frame. More details can be found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5240984#5240984
