Alternating Table Rows - Complex tables

Hi,
I am trying to display a dynamic table in my PDF. The logic that creates the pdf bindings is basically 2 for loops. Think of a table that has rows that expand. Each expandable row is a "Main Row" and each expanded row is an "indented row".
This is the desired look of the PDF table:
Main Row 1
          Indented Row 1.a
Main Row 2
I created a pdf template with LiveCycle Designer that has a table, with two dynamic rows. the top row displays the non-expanded information. The bottom row holds the expanded information. Please view this xml for an example:

This is what I am getting
Main Row 1
Main Row 2
          Indented Row 1.a
Is there any way to force the pdf template to display the xml as it is presented?
Thanks for any advice!
Erik

Try this:
1. Wrap your main row and indented row in a subformSet.
2. Mark the subformSet as repeating
3. Mark your main row and indented row subforms as "not repeating"
4. Make sure your subformSet type is: "select one subform from alternatives"

Hello All,
thanks for your suggestions.
after some research and trial and error i found the solution:here is the sample code for those who might face this issue.
SUPERNODE(Root Node)
 --SUBFM(SUBFORM)
MYNODE( Table)
DATA(Table ROW)
ADD (Table COLUMNS)
DELETE (Table COLUMNS)
var data1;
var norows = xfa.resolveNodes("SUPERNODE.SUBFM.MYNODE.DATA[*]").length;
for ( var i =0; i < norows; i++)
 if( xfa.resolveNode("SUPERNODE.SUBFM.MYNODE.DATA["i"].DELETE").rawValue == "")

CSS issue when changing the table row height to 16px

Hello,
After changing the table row height through css like this:
.table-row-cell, .table-cell {
-fx-cell-size: 16;
the table rows are correctly displayed with a 16px height but the cell bottoms seem to be incorrectly set.
For example the following css style (a red 3px bottom border):
.table-cell {
-fx-border-width: 0 0 3 0;
-fx-border-color: red;
doesn't work anymore with the new row height whereas it works with the 24px standard row height.
While investigating with Scenic View, I noticed that changing the row height changes the TableRow layoutBounds height (from 24px to 16px so that's ok) but not the boundsInParent height which remains to 27px. I think it should become 19px (16 + 1.5 + 1.5). I don't know if it's a bug.
Anyway, any help making the css red border working for a 16px row height would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bruno.

Q: Would this help to just use absolute div tags and give me 'ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTE' positioning?
No. APDivs are not a good primary layout method. Use default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all). Align page elements with margins, floats and padding.
See example -- 2-Column CSS Layout with Grids

Which page is my table row on?

Hi there
I have a large table that spans many pages in overflowing to different text frames.
How can i tell which page a row is on.. i have tried the following
function PageRowIsOn(row) //yes i do correctly pass a table row
    var table = row.parent;
    var frame   = table.parent;
    var pageIndex= frame.parent.index;
    return pageIndex;
but it always returns 0.
So i was wondering if someone can point me in a better direction
cheers
Buzz

Try the below code return the page object
function getPage(theObj)
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Page") return theObj;
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Character")
      return getPage(theObj.parentTextFrames[0]);
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Application")
          // Frame is on an unexpected place...
          alert ("Can't able to find the page");
          //exit(0);
     return getPage(theObj.parent);

How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

Dear All,
Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

Hi,
The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
Please see the API below:
design
Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
Regards,
Jaya.

Alternating row in table

Hi
I am having a problem in displaying rows of a table in alternative color. We have a table data fetched from a model. We make some changes on the table ui element and update. But we face problems in alternate color.
please help

Hi
You can display alternating color in a table if the readonly property of a table ui element is set to true. Otherwise it will not work :(.

Help Needed Tagging Complex Tables

I am often asked to create accessible versions of PDFs for clients that contain complex tables -- e.g., merged and/or blank cells, multiple levels of subcategory headings. Are there any online resources that might help me understand (a) IF it is possible to create accessible versions of these tables and, if so, (b) HOW to tag them. In the ideal world, we would go back to the original document and revise the table, but that's not always possible.
For example, a document I am working on currently includes a table that looks something like this:
Category
Period 1
Period 2
FTE
$
FTE
$
A. First Heading
 1. First Subhead
 a. Topic A
34
45
 b. Topic B
54
63
Subtotal
108
 2. Second Subhead
 a. Topic A
etc.
I understand how to tag the "Period 1" and "Period 2" headings as column headings that span 2 columns, but I'm not clear on how to handle the blank cells and/or the subheadings. Sorry for such an open-ended questions, but I'm not sure where to look - all the documentation I've seen seems to address fairly simple tables. I am using Acrobat XI for Mac.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, it is possible to create accessible versions of the these tables. There are several possible solutions. In the example above, you are correct that Period 1 and Period 2 need to be tagged as <TH> with Span = 2 Column. Scope also needs to be set to Column. FTE and $ also need to be tagged as TH with Scope = Column. All the cells in Column 1 (A. First Heading, 1. First Subhead, etc.) are <TH> with Scope = Row.
Because this is a complex table you need to Associate the table content with these headings using <ID> tags.
This is unfortunately where things can get a little time consuming. The process can be done within Acrobat using the Touch Up Reading Order (TOR) tool (Accessibility Tool Panel). To briefly summarize -- Select the TOR, select the Table, and click the Table Button on the TOR Menu to open up the Table Editor. The TOR Menu will disappear, and the table will be visible. You can click on individual cells, right click and select Cell Properties.
Select one of the header cells, right click and then select Table Cell Properties. There you will see the ID, which is usually something memorable like TD_08934_121. Changes this to something meaningful like PERIOD_1 and P1_FTE. The name must be unique within the file.
Click OK to save and exit the Table Cell Properties window.
Using the TOR select all of the content cells beneath that header and right click to open the Cell Properties. Acrobat will let you select more than one cell by using the Shift Key, if there are no conflicting values in Cell Properties. Note: At times you may need to work one cell at a time.
Once the Table Cell Properties is open, click the plus next to Associate Header Cell IDs and select the appropriate Heading ID that you defined above.
Repeat until all the content cells are associated with their appropriate column headings, subheadings and row headings.
That's method 1.
Method 2 would be to use the CommonLook plug-in. Adding Table Cell IDs is CommonLook's strong point, but the price is high and there is a learning curve. And I've experienced some troublesome issues involving borders and shading in some files. Still if you have Commonlook available it can be a REAL timesaver for tagging complex tables.
Lastly, there are some tricks and workarounds that would make the structure of this table simple and therefore accessible without all of this. If you are experienced working in the Tags Panel in Acrobat. In the example above you could convert the first row of content Headings Period 1 and Period 2 to Artifacts and then entirely delete that row from the table within the tags panel, Then add alternative text to the second row of headings so FTE will always read as "Period 1 FTE" or Period 2 FTE" and so forth. Some purists may object to this method, but it would work.
NOTE: Any of these methods require further checking with a screen reader to ensure the tables are recognized by tables and no mistakes were made in assigning the headings to the cells and I would also check to make sure any blank cells read as "Blank" as they may be mistagged in the tags panel by the authoring application (e.g., MS Word).

How to add the Row count(number of rows in table) in the table header?

Hi,
I'm having a table. This table is viewed when i click on a search button.
On the table header it should dynamically display the number of rows in the table, i.e., the row count.
How to do this? could any one explain me with the detailed procedure to achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh

If you want to show a localized text in the table header, you should use the Message Pool to create a (parameterized) message "tableHeaderText" like "There are table entries".
Next, create a context attribute "tableHeaderText" of type "string" and bind the "text" property of the table header Caption UI element to this attribute.
Whenever the table data has changed (e.g. at the end of the supply function for the table's data source node), update the header text:
int numRows = wdContext.node<TableDataSourceNode>().size();
String text = wdComponentAPI.getTextAccessor().getText
IMessage<ComponentName>.TABLE_HEADER_TEXT,
new Object[] { String.valueOf(numRows) }
wdContext.currentContextElement().setTableHeaderText(text);
Maybe you want to provide a separate message for the case that there are no entries.
Alternatively, you can make the attribute calculated and return the header text in the attribute getter.

Triggering "exit" event of a drop-down list in all instances of a table row

I have a drop-down list in a table row with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation draws information from 2 other dropdown lists contained above in non-repeating rows of the same table.
The desired behavior is: should the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below would perform the "Exit" event script accessing the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent("exit");     this works, sort of
It only updates the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and none of the subsequent instances. The user can "Tab" through the instances and trigger the Exit event for each instance, but this is not a reasonable solution.
I have tried using the resolveNodes method without success. I understand, using the resolveNodes method may be necessary when referencing multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");     doesn't work
xfa.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");      doesn't work
No doubt, I must be using the resolveNodes incorrectly or missing something? Probably something simple.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

PERFECT!!! Works right out of the box!
This has opened my eyes to the essential nature of loops. My form is very large and complex and functions correctly, Yet the coding is lacking in sophistication--no loops, functions, fragments or other code efficiencies. I am teaching myself (with the help here) and I have skipped learning and using some techniques when I could things to work using the limited skill set I have.
Sometimes, I just don't "get it". After I fail a few times, I skip it and try something else. Functions are a great example. I could utilize a bunch of these if I could only write one that works. It is frustrating. If I got one to work, I know could write a ton of them. But, there is some essential part of functions I am missing that's preventing me from having my first success with them. (I think it has to do with not understanding arguments completely).
Anyway, I am overjoyed with the solution you provided and I understand it well enough to be able to use again in other situations.
Thanks again!

Selecting rows in tables

I have a table and need to fill several rows with a colour. Its not alternate rows, but maybe the 1st, the 3rd, the 4th, the 10th etc. How do I select those rows all at once so I can apply the same colour. Holding down the shift key doesn't work.

You don't... It's the same as with text, you can make
i one
selection and that's it.
If you're worried about having to select the same colour again, why not make it into a swatch? Just pop-up the Swatches panel while you have your color selected, and from the little menu, choose "Add to swatches".
(Alternatively, select the entire table and set it to the colour you want. Then re-set the
i other
rows to transparent.)
