Auto fill redundant text fields at run-time

I have a master page with several text fields in the header. My first page of the pdf allows user to enter this info (in other fields, with javascript to copy to the header fields like this):
----- F.pgCover.editSiteNumber::exit - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------------
F.pageSet.mpgHeader.hdrSiteNumber.rawValue = this.rawValue
Pages 2-6 use the mpgHeader. Page 2 shows the correct header info, but pages 3-6 do not show it. If I dynamically change a header page how do I force all pages that use that header page to update... or do I need to set properties on my body pages or content areas differently?

How to auto-generate a "empno" field at run time in oracle forms 6i

Hello!
I have connected to a SCOTT schema. And i am using emp table. At run time mode when i press F8 then the data is displayed in the fields.
My task is to generate auto "empno" as soon as i run the form. Kindly do the needful.
Thanks in advance

Hi Francios,
I think with your solution our user only able to see the current information in the form.I donot think it will auto generate the empno.
Dear user,
I suggest what you can do is to create one sequence in your database and use it to generate automatic
empno.
In post query trigger try to implement the idea.
Suppose in the name of the sequence is empno_seq.
if emp.empno is null then
:emp.empno := empno_seq+1;
end if;
Try i hope it will work

Hide Text Field at run time

Hi,
I am trying to hide a text field when it is empty in Adobe form .
The code for this
if( hasValue($record.LOCAT) )
LOCAT.presence eq 'visible'
else LOCAT.presence eq 'hidden'
endif.
I have written this code in the initialise event for the text field.
As far as I know this is possible for interactive forms. Is there a possible way to implement it in for static adobe form.
I am very new to both Adobe form and java scrpit.
Please help me .

Hi,
I tried both ur suggestions but no luck.
I also went through the document and implemented the following changes to my form
Created a script object with a function in it trying to make the text field hidden in all cases
function emptyCheck(oField){
if ((oField.rawValue == null) || (oField.rawValue == "")) {
oFieild.presence = "hidden";
else{
oFieild.presence = "hidden";
and then applied to my text field in the initialize event
script_obj.emptyCheck(this);
While testing (print preview) it is not showing any error but when I am running my form it still shows the text field.
My requirement is this that if the field is empty it should be hidden and I would like to be able to move the lines below it upward on the form to fill in the space left by the data field so that no empty space is displayed.
Am I doiing anything wrong ?
Please suggest.

Possible to change type of spry validation text field at run time?

I am trying to record a date of death on a form, which obviously for live people might not require a value. I have a radio group (Yes/No) that specifies whether the fields associated with the date of death are visible (select for month, day and year). For the year, I have it set to be an integer with a minimum and maximum value. The selects have an invalid value of -1 set, with one item labeled "Select month" and "Select day" given the -1 value.
When the "no" button is clicked, I want to make it so that submitting the form does not cause validation errors for the spry fields associated with the date of death. I have successfully added onChange events to the select objects that call javascript, along the lines of spryselect1.invalidValue = -2. I can also make it so that the text field representing the year of death is not forced to be required: sprytextfield1.isRequired = false.
However, I'm having a hard time getting the "invalid format" validation to be canceled. I have tried executing sprytextfield1.type = "none", since looking at the source code in SpryValidationTextField.js seems to indicate that the object's type property is important. However, this doesn't work; I think that's because the type property is used to look up a validation function in an array when the object is constructed, and may not be referenced again after that.
So, I'm looking for either:
a property/method to call to effectively change the type OR
information on whether reconstructing the variable with new options will work. I am not sure if any event handlers registered during the object's original construction will still be fired even if I make the variable point to a new object. I see a destroy function in the source code that might do what I want, but my Javascript knowledge isn't too great, so I don't know if that method needs to be called explicity or whether it happens implicitly when an object is garbage collected.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Filling a text field in Safari and saving the page as 'save as'

My telephone system creates a call log and I like to automate downloading it weekly.
In order to get in it needs to enter a password (there is also a user name field but that is left blank by me).
Once in is should safe a ‘Save as” copy to my desktop.
I have written a script and it does not work (probably because I am not good at scripting.
Can anyone help?
This script gets me as far as the dialog box that asks for Password to open.
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell (make new document) to set URL to "http://192.168.1.90"
Thanks

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,

How to generate database text items at run time in oracle forms 6i?

i have a text item with NUMBER OF ITEMS DISPLAYED=3. My requirement is, i need to generate text items at run time under each TEXT ITEM(3 text items will be there since number of items displayed is 3) and the values will be stored in the database based on the primary key combination. pls help me to solve this pblm

Hi,
You cannot generate items dynamically at runtime. The only thing you can do is show and hide item on time. Thay seems that they are generated at run time. Second thing you can do is that you can put items on stack canvas and set visible property of stack canvas to no and at run time set it to visible according to ur condition. Otherwise there is no way. If you find any other way, plz do inform here also.

How to Hide the Parameter field at run time....

Hi,
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
It has the LOV coming from following SQL.
SELECT customer_name FROM Cust_mast;
If the user = 'INTERNAL' then the Where clause will be
WHERE cust_id in('DELL', 'SBC', 'BANK')
Else there will be no WHERE clause or the parameter field
should be hidden in the parameter form.
So my questions are:
1) How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
OR OR OR
2) How to change the LOV select statement during Run time?
Thanks.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Is there any way to play with the sql query SELECT using DECODE ?I'm not sure of this part, maybe someone else can suggest a way.
However, what you want can be done in 2 other ways:
1. Build 2 reports. Both reports will just be duplicates of each other, only difference being that the 'LoV where clause' will be different. Now you can fire the appropriate report in many ways. For example, if the customer is alreay logged inside your custom application, and therefore you already know whether the user is internal of external, you can design your button or link which launches the report to contain logic such that one of the 2 reports is fired depending on who the user is.
1. Use a JSP parameter form, not a paper parameter form In this case, just build an HTML parameter form in the web source of your report. Use Java logic to populate the LoV drop-down list. When you have to launch the final report, just launch the paper-layout of the report. For example (you will have to modify this):
<form action="http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=ParamForm.jsp+..." name="First" method="post">
<select name="selected_customer" onChange="First.submit()" >
<option value="">Choose a Customer Name
<rw:foreach id="G_cust_id" src="G_cust_id">
<rw:getValue id="myCustId" src="CUSTOMER_ID"/>
<rw:getValue id="myCustName" src="CUSTOMER_NAME"/>
<option value="<%=myCustId%>"><%=myCustName%>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
In the code above, you will have to make sure that your report's data model defines 2 CUSTOMER_ID's (like CUSTOMER_ID_INT and CUSTOMER_ID_EXT). These 2 will be internal and external Cust ID's. Use Java logic to show one of them.

How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?

Hi,
How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
I am using reports 10G
For ex: I have 3 field created in JSP
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user = 'SUPER show all the parameter
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user is 'GATEKEEPER" Just show
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
Can I do that?
Please help
Thanks.
KK

hi, i'm not familiar much with JSP. but i think workaround is to create two window one which have 4 fields and the other which have 3. if user is SUPER then call the first screen otherwise if user is GATEKEEPER then call the second screen.

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,
Sara

Auto Incrementing in Text Field

I imported a tab file and one column was the city, state and zip code. For some reason, the Zip code auto increments. It just so happened that the first cell was Durham, NC 27701. All subsequent cells incremented the Zip code by one, so the second cell became Durham, NC 27702. I have tried making the column a text field, and that did not work. I do not find any formula in the field, so am at a loss as to how to prevent the auto-incrementing from hapening.

Some wish to change it because they think that thge acronym PACA is not their cup of tea.
Given that, inhabitants of "Provence" refuse to drop "Provence",
inhabitants of "Alpes" refuse to drop "Alpes",
inhabitants of "Cote d'Azur" refuse to drop "Cote d'Azur".
My own advice is simply : don't use an acronym !
I searched heavily and din't find a Vallauris in Pyrénées.
The only town whose name approach is :
I just found :
Valaurie

Vallauris sits between Cannes and Antibes.

I'm having trouble with a Text Field and a Time Format

I have created a form.
There are many text fields for clients to fill out.
One Field have been formatted to enter a time. Ex. 6:00pm.
This works great unless it's a 12:00am time then the field reads 00:00am
I would rather it read 12:00 am.
How can I do this?

Maybe you should put the time format in 24hour instead.

Set value Field in run time

hello guys!!!
it's called the process where
on my screen I have two fields
Field 1: enabled for editing
Field 2: disabled for editing
when i fill the value in a field 1 I want to play the same value for the field 2 in run time. that´s possible?What can I study?

So, you want the user to be allowed to enter a value in field 1, then after tabbing out to the next field, display that same value in a non-editable field underneath?
You can definitely implement this using Partial Page Rendering (PPR).
Go to your help section within JDeveloper. Type in "Partial Page Rendering Exercise". A tutorial will pop up showing you how to implement this sort of thing.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;
