Can I show correctly formatted text areas when they are read only.

Hi all,
I have an application that allows users to enter large blocks of descriptive text in a TextArea field. This is a simple TextArea field with no spell check etc and is not an HTML editor.
As part of this entry I use the normal 'return' key to enter line breaks / new paragraphs as you would expect.
This works fine and the data is stored correctly. When I extract this text, via XML, into a BI Publisher PDF document, the text is correctly formatted with line breaks where they are expected.
However, when I try and display this information on the screen, in read only mode, the line breaks are lost and all I see is a continuos block of text with no line breaks.
I am displaying this as a TextArea in a read only form (basically the page is a copy of the entry/maintenance page with all the fields set to ReadOnly = Always) and I cannot get it to display correctly. As soon as I make the field ReadOnly = Never the text dispaly OK, but then the user can go and change it.
How can I get this field to display correctly?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi Dimitri,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried changing the field source to:
select replace(replace(MANUAL_STEP_TEXT,CHR(10),'
'),CHR(13),'
from tpa_rel_patches
where patch_id = :P40_PATCH_ID
and now I get:
1.Take a backup of existing jdbc driver files In all the Tiers (Admin, External & Middle Tiers)
cd $JAVA_TOP
cp jdbc111.zip jdbc111.zip_4899697
cp jdbc12.zip jdbc12.zip_4899697
cp jdbc14.zip jdbc14.zip_4899697
2.Apply the Oracle JDBC Drivers Patch using ADPATCH
u4899697.drv
Any ideas?

  • Bridge CS3 shows different colour on previews when they are selected

    LS,
    Problem, all of a sudden: Bridge CS3 shows different colours on previews when they are clicked and selected. At first, they are ok, they look the same as they are on camera. When I click an image and select it, it looks like there's a colour profile being applied to it, making the colours dull, its also pulls back the contrast of the image. Can this be corrected in prefences or something? So that the previews are the same as non corrected raw processed files?
    David

    Oh, good grief…  Sorry.  I forgot you haven't updated yet.  My bad.  
    In CS3 you'll find the Auto Tone adjustments in the Camera Raw preferences, and the use of high quality in Bridge preferences.  You won't have all the options available in CS4.
    If you are shooting raw, the upgrade to CS4 just to be able to use ACR 5.3 (and now 5.4) is a no-brainer.  Well worth the money.
    If you don't upgrade, you'll be leaving a lot of raw image quality on the table, as Jeff Schewe says. ACR 4.6 is light years behind 5.3 and 5.4.
    In addition, Bridge 2.x (CS3) is easily the worst piece of software ever released by Adobe or any other major software developer.  It should have been fixed for free by Adobe, but shamefully, it wasn't.  I would not hesitate to call it an unusable, worthless piece of cr@p.  Fortunately Bridge 3.x (CS4) is much better.
    However, I repeat:  What you are seeing is perfectly normal, expected behavior.

  • ACL does not correctly order the permissions when they are updated

    Outlook Connector sjab32.dll 7.1.228.0 sjms32.dll 7.1.228.0 sjui32.dll 7.1.228.0 sjtp32.dll 7.1.228.0
    Problem: We have identifed an issue with editing calendar permissions using the Outlook Connector. Basically the calendar ACEs are evaluated on a first match basic. Outlook Connector does not correctly order the permissions when they are updated. A brief example is below. Editing permissions via UWC works fine and will in fact fix any out of order ACE entries.
    Basic calendar permission:
    1.aces=@@o^a^rsf^g;@@o^p^rw^g;@@o^c^wdeic^g;@^a^sf^g;@^c^^g;@^p^r^g^
    after adding user mab, Ace has now been re-ordered so that the everyone permissions are now before the owner permissions:
    2.aces=mab^p^r^g;mab^c^rwd^g;mab^a^rsf^g;@^c^rwd^d;@^c^^g;@^p^r^g;@^a^sf^g;@@o^c^wdeic^g;@@o^p^rw^g;@@o^a^rsf^g
    any suggestion as to why this re-ordering is happening when updated through OC and any supporting doucuments for ACL

    Hi,
    This issue is most likely related to bug #6471869 (Outlook Connector allows invites to users with restricted permissions). This has been fixed in the latest Outlook Connector 7.1_233 (aka 122018-09). I recommend logging a Sun support case to get a copy of this new release.
    Regards,
    Shane.

  • Can't see my buddies' status messages when they are available.

    So, I don't know if anyone knows how to fix this, but I've already checked the prefs, and there's nothing in there about this.
    If you have any idea how I can fix this, please please let me know.
    I can only see people's messages when they are away. I can also see the little arrow when they have the message set to Itunes, but the song doesn't show up, only the little arrow which connects you to the Itunes music store.
    That's pretty much all I can tell you. So please help me if you can.

    This is ridiculous.
    No it isn't. It's just mildly inconvenient because a fun feature of iChat is temporarily offline.
    I wish Apple would buy AOL.
    Why? Because AIM status messages are that vital to you, or because you'd like to see Apple waste cash on a redundant, failing dinosaur like AOL?

  • How do I show links in the browser when they are hidden when I choose a black/dark background? Screenshot can be provided.

    Hi, I'm trying to personalize my computer with the Classic Terminal look (Black Background with Bright Green text). However, everytime I use a Black Background, many web elements (like hyperlinks, or guides, and one time Steam Codes) would be hidden, not even border outlines. I've tried going into firefox's appearance settings and changing it to have my colors instead of the Site's colors, but to no avail. This is an example: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/b38c86b329a7395d3c1e6394900cefdc The Dark area in between the chatbox and the top of the screen looks non existent of the navigation bar.

    If you override background colors and background images and use the !important flag then you can get a lot of problems.<br />
    There are also web pages that only set a text color or a background color and assume that you have 'regular' default settings.<br />
    so be cautious with forcing your own colors on web page.

  • Why do text boxes show up as different colors when they are the same color?

    I am baffled. I have created an InDesign document and I used the rectangle tool to create a blue box at the top of the document and one at the bottom. They are both filled with CMYK (100, 88, 35, 28). The one on the top of the document shows darker than the one at the bottom. I thought it was a document issue, so I created a new document. It does the same thing. I took the box at the top and moved it to the bottom and when it hit the half way point of the document, it changed colors (got lighter).
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Liz

    No, what was once dark is now light and vice-a-versa. See screen capture above. When I rotate the page 180 degrees, here is what I get.

  • On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

    When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me.  When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them. 
    Is this a known issue?  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know what causes this issue?  I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones.  I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
    It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly.  Major fail, Apple.  For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
    I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue:  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
    MICROPHONE
    I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

    Please Apple.  Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update.  I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver.  Not sure why you would even want to do that.
    It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls.  After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus.  Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc.  You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw.  Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance.  Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families.  Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).  
    Anyway, you get my point.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it.  I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

  • How can I get my music files back when they are no longer on the computer?

    So the problem I am having is that I cannot play songs on the playlist because "the file cannot be located" error.  I checked the iTunes media folder and they weren't there. I searched my whole computer and they still could not be found.
    The story behind the problem is that I pretty sure all the songs I am having troubles with were ones I purchased on my iPod Touch itself. Several months ago when I plugged my iPod into the computer so it could sync ( my iPod is old and can't connect to the WiFi anymore forcing me to buy songs on my computer again.) The songs purchased on my iPod showed up on my playlist on my computer but they had the "!" next to them and they were no longer on my iPod and when I tried to get them back on I got the "cannot be located" error. I then checked the iTunes music folder again and the only songs there were songs I purchased on my computer.
    I am extremely frustrated. When I go to the iTunes store under "Purchases" they all show up however there is no way for me to download them again onto my computer because the "download" button cannot be clicked on because I am assuming it thinks the songs are already on the computer, but I know they aren't. I tried organizing my songs option and that didn't do anything.
    Is there any way to download them again? Or at least tell the iTunes store that they aren't located on my computer anymore so I can download them again?
    If I lost hundreds of dollars of music because the iTunes software is a piece a ****...

    You might want to post this question to the iTunes Windows forum rather than the iPod forum - try iTunes for Windows
    Just a note of encouragement - I doubt very much you've lost your music - they remember what you've purchased forever and as long as the content is still on the iTunes store you should never loose anything (however sometimes content is removed from the store for various reasons and in that cause if you don't have a local copy on your iTunes library it is not recoverable - but that issue is relatively infrequent) - it's just a question of why iTunes won't let you download it again. good luck...

  • Why can't itunes locate my music files when they are there?

    I think that this happened when I checked off both "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."I had all of my files located at C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media   and then I noticed that itunes made folders for all of of my music files because I have checked off the keep iTunes media folder organized. Ever since then, itunes can't find all of my files but only some of it and I don't want to go one by one to locate all of the songs. All of my songs are located in the same location which is C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music  I changed it to this location because all of my song files are located there and the place where it was located before, I didn't find the song files on there. I also noticed that itunes would oragize and create folders for my songs in the my music library and I thought that was the reason why itunes couldn't find the files because they were in the wrong location so I moved all of those folders to C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music  So, is it because all of my files are in folders since itunes organized them? All of my files are in album, artist, and song title folders. Where should all of these folders be located at? Also, iTunes creates multiple folders that have the same name and should I just leave the folders be or organize them myself because I have folders that have the same exact name as in the artist and title but it has different song files in the folders. Should I combine the files into the same folder that have the same artist or should I just leave it that way?  Please ,I really need help as I have tried almost everything.

    Hi musaka
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Here are simple things that you can try:
    Restart your phone
    1. Switch your phone off
    2. Remove the battery. 
    3. After a few seconds, put the battery in and switch your phone on.
    Reset the settings
    Restore the original factory settings of your phone. Go to Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings > Settings only. If prompted for a security/lock code enter 12345 unless changed. This will not delete any data on your phone but any personalization you've made will reset back to default.

  • The some words in perfectly formatted messages I email are merging or joining together likethis or evenlikethis when they are recieved. How do I fix this?

    When I send emails that are perfectly formatted they are being somewhat truncated when they are received by whomever I'm sending them to. Words will be joined together throughout the email in combinations of two or three.
    I know this is happening because when someone responds to my email, I see the email that I have sent them (in their response email) and it is messed up as described above. I recently asked one of my recipients if this was something that was common with my emails and I was told yes.
    Here is an example, cut and pasted from an email sent via Thunderbird: "A number of years ago we were speaking with Stephanie MacDonaldat CIT about our film/video production services. Our Account Exec assigned to your account left a number of months later and we subsequently lost contact.
    I just visited your web site and noticed thatyou are using video to help define your services and corporate culture. We'd love to be considered if you are planning any more productions.
    One genre of web video thatyou may be interested in is 'Recruiting'.
    Companies that wish to attract young, bright talent, arereaching out with fun and engaging videos distributed online and through social marketing. I noticed that you have a Careers page, but no video. Is this something that you could be interestedinat some point?
    We recently produced one of these videos for an IT company located in Torontoand I'd be delighted to send you alink if you like..."
    The version of Thunderbird I am using is 17.0 and I am running the program on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 installed.
    Fixing this issue is critical as my emails look very unprofessional and leave a negative impression with my contacts. Please tell me what I can do to fix this.
    Best regards,
    Derek Shipman

    are you pasting text from another source into Thunderbird?
    Does it appear correctly in your send folder?

    In other words, how does your explanation account for ED (enhanced definition)?
    ED is generally considered to be 576p or 480p, but this is not universally accepted and these resolutions are often accepted as HD also. Additionally an ED signal uses non square pixels just as SD does so the horizontal pixel dimensions should be no more than 720. Exactly how the tv would treat these resolutions I don't know (yet).
    If you have a copy of the source code for the function that displays the HD icon, please post it so I can take a look at it.
    Why should I have such a copy and why is it relevant. The issue here is that the OP believes his video is incorrectly labelled HD which is not the case. There may or may not be anomalies in the way the tv attributes the HD label to some files (although it isn't the case for me), however the OP has incorrectly converted his source video and they are no longer SD, they are also not ED by whichever definition you wish to apply and any such anomalies should they exist are not responsible for the OP's files being labelled HD.
