Automatic fill/replace text field

Hello all,
In my document, I have a text block with the following:
Document: 770-00009                                                      - Static line
April 1, 2014 6:42 AM                                                     - InDesign system variable line
For single or dual switch installs                                      - Static line
For build # ${build_version}                                             - This line changes and need a way to automatically fill-in/replace the text, "${build_version}"
So, I am looking for a way to automatically replace ${build_version} with the current version number.
Is there a way to do this from InDesign, via CLI (don't think InDesign has one), via the .indd file, or perhaps at the PDF stage (although, at that point, it would have to be Linux based).
Thank you

This is in Safari?
Go to Preferences->Autofill and see the "Other forms" section. Choose "edit" and you can modify or remove the data. If you remove it, the next time you fill it should enter the right info. Go ahead and investigate each of the 4 options on the Autofill pane.

How to have a field automatically fill in another field when checked

Does anyone know if there is a way to have a field automatically fill in another field with a specific dollar amount when a field is checked.
I am doing a registration sheet for a charity event where we have to pay for each person that attends. I would like it set up so that when someone checks in the person at the registration table would just click the check box (E2) and then have it fill in the field next to it a dollar amount of $15.00 (F2) which would be owed to the place hosting the event.
Attached is a picture of the spreadsheet: example: persons checks off E2 and the amount $15.00 would automatically fill in field F2. I would then do this for each line and have the F column total the amount owed to the place.
I am VERY new to numbers and writing formulas so if you can be specfic with how to do the code would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

please remember to post the actual solution (equation in this case) so others that are searching for similar items see the solution, not just
Got it, replaced 0 with '''.
Thanks

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,
Nifty

How do I save preferences for automatically filled in text box?

G'day
I've got a popup button that lists all the external disks on my computer, and when a user picks a particular file on one of them, the path is displayed in a text field.
If I edit the field, it's saved automatically, but how do I save/update the preference bindings without editing please?
Regards
Santa

it's OK, I figured it out. For posterity...
First define the property...
property NSUserDefaults : class "NSUserDefaults"
then to read...
tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
set tempDiskPath to objectForKey_("DiskPath")
set tempDayReportDisplay to objectForKey_("DayReportDisplay")
set thetempYears1 to objectForKey_("theYearsStrings")
set tempYear to objectForKey_("tempYear")
set theDayYears1 to objectForKey_("theDayYearsStrings")
set tempdayYear to objectForKey_("tempdayYear")
end tell
the to write...
on applicationShouldTerminate_(sender)
-- Insert code here to do any housekeeping before your application quits
set tempDiskPath to DiskPath's stringValue() as text
set tempDayReportDisplay to DayReportDisplay's stringValue() as text
set thetempYears1 to (theYear's itemTitles()) as list
set tempYear to theYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
set theDayYears1 to (DayReportYear's itemTitles()) as list
set tempdayYear to DayReportYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
setObjectforKey(tempDiskPath, "DiskPath")
setObjectforKey(tempDayReportDisplay, "DayReportDisplay")
setObjectforKey(thetempYears1, "theYearsStrings")
setObjectforKey(tempYear, "tempYear")
setObjectforKey(theDayYears1, "theDayYearsStrings")

Automatic Filling of same fields

Hello All I am new to this and I am trying to create a form on Lifecycle. The form I am creating has 3 pages and 2 of those are identical. The 2 identical pages have to have the same data in them. How can I get it set up so that when the uder inputs information on the first page that same info automatically fills in on the sacond page in the same fields. Thanks...

Set the binding tab on those fields to Global and make sure they have the same name.
Or you can programmaticaly push the values from the 1st fields into the 2nd ones. Use the exit event of the 1st field and this javascript code:
Field2.rawValue = Field1.rawValue;

How to change solid size automatically to a text field?

Does anyone know how to make a solid change the scale parameter automatically when the layer above it goes longer / shorter then it? I’m trying to have a text field that can be changed and need the solid underneath it to change the scale parameter when the text goes longer or shorter then the solid. Sounds like an expression…

I got this working with the following expression:
xExtra=effect("xExtra")("Slider")
yExtra=effect("yExtra")("Slider")
x=thisComp.layer("Text 1").sourceRectAtTime().width + xExtra;
y=thisComp.layer("Text 1").sourceRectAtTime().height + yExtra;
[x,y]
The Problem:
it resizes from the middle out. I need the text justified left (which it is not, because then it is not lined up and if I drag the shape layer over to line it up as I add text it still goes from the middle out and does not completly cover the whole text) and have this expression change only the length of the box below on the right side and keep the left justified.
Any Ideas?

Dropdown filling multiple texts fields

Completely new to live cycle. I've designed a form that I finally successfully linked with a XML datasheet. I can easily incorporate the texts fields that my sheet is generating. Now what I want to do is turn one of those fields (PRODUCTS) in a dropdown so when the user selects a product, all the other text fields are filled with that line of the datasheet (DATE, PRICE, DESCRIPTION etc...). I have to work with xml cause the database of the products is constantly updated on an excel spreadsheet. I badly need help!
PS: I succesfully created the dropdown wich links correctly with the XML data, but all the other fileds simply show the first line of the sheet, or multiple lines in the same field...
Thanks in advance!
Nicolas

Paul,
Thank you so much, that solved my problem (with a little bit of tweaking to your code). I had to pull the Value from the Dropdown List instead of the text because the text is not unqiue in our database.
One simple question...Is it possible to display more than one field within the Dropdown List? For example, can I place the Company Name and the Contact name at the Company within the Dropdown list? This reason for needing this is that we service customers that have multiple locations and it'd be easier for the Service Techs to pick the correct customer if the Company Name and Contact were in the Dropdown List.
One last harder question....Is there an easy way to sort the data displayed within the Dropdown list? I do not have the option of selecting "Sort Ascending"...Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
SSCLadam

How to add comma and dollar sign that places automatically in input text field

I have this ROI calculator which has several text input field
on frame one with calculate and reset buttons. When a user enters
numerical values in the text field, and jumping to the next field,
I want the input text filed be updated with dollar sign and with
comma.
Next when they hit "ENTER" key or click "Calculate ROI"
button, all the input text fields on frame 2 as a result of
calculations be updated with dollar sign and comma. I also need
that once the comma sign is assigned then it would not add any more
even if user presses the button. Can someone help me in
this?

If you want to Set the Comma when you Switch to next Text
Field
Use onKillFocus / onSetFocus Functions.
to restrict multiple comma, Before Adding comma use
myText.text =
myText.text.split(",").join("").split("$").join("");
So this will give you the value without Comma and Dollar
symbol, Now add the Comma and dollar.
or you need to use a Flag for onChange Event.

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?

Little dots automatically fill the password field

On my iMac I have three accounts, mine, my wifes, and a guest account. When the system is at the login screen, if I click my icon to log in, the password field starts filling up with "characters" (dots) all on it's own. I have to hold the delete key, at which time it erases and I can then enter my password. But... This only happens if my wife was the last one to log in. If I had last logged in, no dots.
If I allow it to run like this for 5 or 10 seconds, it fills up with so many characters that it becomes time-consuming to get back to an empty password field.
Any ideas? Obviously, any sort of malware that could be running at the login screen would be bad, very bad.

Malware (not a virus) can't be running at login, because there is no access to system resources until somebody logs in.
Hi Kurt, I can't say why this is happening, though I agree it's extremely unlikely to be malware. But I disagree; the system is up and running well before login. A rootkit, or backdoor from a Trojan, for example, (not that I'm saying this is what is happening) would have access to system resources before login.
Seems related to the wife's user account. Only happens after his wife has logged in. I think it is very unlikely to be a Permissons issue. And, if it is related to his or his wife's user, Permissions repair wouldn't even touch that.
Just a guess, but perhaps this is coming from a corrupted cache. Might try running Applejack.
Download:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/
Article on using:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10334620-263.html?tag=mfiredir
It runs in single user mode. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO," you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

How do I edit suggestions Firefox makes to automatically fill in a field?

When I attempt to fill in a form, as I type,a Firefox will offer suggestions as to what to fill in. For example, the web form asks for a date. I want to enter 5/25/2011. As I have filled out this form before, Firefox offers suggestions of 5/25/2009, 5/25/2010, and 5/25/2011. I no longer will be entering 5/25/2009 or 5/25/2010, so I will not need those suggestions any more. How do I get rid of them? As it's annoying to have them constantly showing up. ( The same thing occurs if you make a mistake, for example, in typing an e-mail address. The mistake keeps showing up as a suggestion. )

*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

[solved] ADF BC - Automatically fill in form fields

Hi all,
I think i just need pointing in the right direction. I am using ADF 11g BC.
Here is the case in EMP/DEPT terms. I click a row on the DEPT table, and click add employee button. A popup launches with a form. I want to have the DEPTNO and DEPTNAME filled in already based on the row that was clicked on. I currently am using createWithParameters when the button is pressed and am able to send in the deptname and deptno as parameters, i am just unsure of how to actually fill in those 2 fields of the form.
Any pointers/suggestions?

I had that problem too recently. It seems the parameters table is disabled wrongly. I worked around that be manually editing the XML via the Source tab. Here's an example of a "Create with parameters" action with two parameters:
    <action IterBinding="XyzIterator"
            id="CreateWithParams" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
            Action="createWithParams">
      <NamedData NDName="XyzId"
                 NDValue="#{someBean.someValue}"
                 NDType="java.lang.String"/>
      <NamedData NDName="Year" NDValue="#{someBean.someOtherValue}"
                 NDType="oracle.jbo.domain.Number"/>

When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?
