Cannot save selections in a drop down box

Hi, I originally posted this in the'Acrobat Windows' section but was told to post here instead.
I created a snazzy form in Adobe Designer 7.0. This form had drop down boxes with 3 or 4 selections in them.
When I open AA 7 Pro and fill the form out, it won't save the drop down box entries.
For example:
One field is just a text entry, so I'll enter "20,000". The next field has 3 selections "Diesel, Gasoline, Kerosene"; I will select Diesel.
I will save, close and reopen that file.
The "20,000" will be there, but it won't save the "Diesel".
So what gives? Is it me?

Have a look at the bindinng tab of the fields that do not show up and make sure that they are NOT set to None. Look at a
field that is being saved. Is it set to Normal? If it is set all the fields that you want saved to Normal.

What is forwarded when " as in-line text" is selected in the drop-down box for forwarding a message. i.e. are attachments forwarded?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Cannot change Email Preference in Drop Down Box

All my software is up to date on Snow Leapord. I use AOL Desktop for accessing my email and it is the most current AOL Desktop for Mac 1.7.722 (722). I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
When I go to iPhoto preferences > General > the drop down box next to "Email photos using: has "Mail" highlighted. I cannot choose anything else. They are all greyed out (AOL, Eudora and Microsoft Entourage). I don't use Eudora or Entourage so they don't matter to me, but all 3 cannot be used. I have tried everything to get it to recognize AOL but it does not.
I called AOL and they had me unistall every AOL application and file on the computer and reinstall the new AOL desktop again but this did not work either. They said it was not their problem and must be with Apple and iPhoto.
When I called Apple (I have Apple care), they gave me a work around to send photos to the desktop and then attach to an AOL email, They could not help me otherwise, but I would rather use it the way I used to. Why won't it allow me to pick AOL (Which is shown in the drop down)
Can anyone give me help.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
also note that you probably can select the photo(s) and drag them to the AOL Desktop icon in the Dock to create your e-mail
I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
To me this clearly says that the issue is AOL desktop since it worked until you upgraded and after upgrading does not

How do I use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection from a drop down box?

Greetings,
I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I am trying to figure out how to add some basic automation features to an Adobe form. I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" that will contain approximately 7 possible selections. When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the text field (called "Hospital_Address") below the drop down box populate with the corresponding address for the selection. I have the "Hospital_Address" text field configured for multiple lines and would like the address to have a line break between the street address and the city/state/zip.
For example, if the user selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:
123 Main St
Anytown, CA 12345
Any help or examples you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You have the element names within the object within brackets.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
// Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
var Location = {
"--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
"Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },
"CHI Bergan Mercy":{ line1: "7500 Mercy Road", line2: "Omaha, NE 68124" },
"CHI Immanuel":{ line1: "6901 N. 72nd Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68122" },
"CHI Lakeside":{ line1: "16901 Lakeside Hills Court", line2: "Omaha, NE 68130" },
"CHI Midlands":{ line1: "11111 S. 84th Street", line2: "Papillion, NE 68046" },
"Creighton University Medical Center":{ line1: "601 N. 30th Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68131" },
"Nebraska Medical Center":{ line1: "4400 Emile Drive", line2: "Omaha, NE 68105" }
// some debugging code to see location names;
console.show();console.clear():
for(I in Location) {
console.println(I);
// end debugging code;
function SetFieldValues(Hospital_Name) {
    this.getField("AddLine1").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line1;
    this.getField("AddLine2").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line2;
This is not a beginners task but requires a fair amount of knowledge about the structure of objects, defining strings, and structure of arrays.
Are you sure you have all the field names correctly spelled and capitalized?
Do you get any error in the JavaScript console?
Just trying the line that defines the "Location", I get the following error:
SyntaxError: invalid property id
1:Console:Exec
undefined
All the form field in a PDF are processed by using JavaScript and any error in any script will stop JavaScript processing.
It might help to have a link to the problem form.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.

Populate second drop down box based on selection from first drop down box

Hello, I have a situation involving a drop down box with 9 items to choose from. What I want to do is depending on which of the 9 items the client chooses, this will determine what items are populated in the second drop down boxes (the items in the second drop down box will be mirrored on 9 other drop down boxes).
For example, my first list box would be titled Review Type and there would be MF, VA, FA, etc. If the MF was selected, then the 10 boxes below (all drop-downs) will be prepopulated with a specifc selection of topics and if they chose VA then another set of topics would be prepopulated.
Can you please point me out on the proper script to accomplish this? I don't have a xml/data source to connect to so I will be manually inputting the choices. Thanks!
Header 1
Header 2

I came across a sample of a script that seems to do what I want it to however I can't seem to get it to work all the way through. It only compiles the items from the 1st case and not the 2nd or 3rd case. If I click on the 1st case, it will not clear if I click on the 2nd or 3rd case. The items from the 1st case stays static and shows up for other cases. However if I open the form and click on the 2nd or 3rd case first, it's blank and nothing shows up. Can you please help me out with any fixes to this problem? Please help!!
Here's the script:
switch (this.rawValue){
case "General Client File Review":
ft1.clearItems();
ft1.rawValue
= null;ft1.addItem("UBIS New Account Application");
ft1.addItem("Suitability Update Form");
ft1.addItem("Trust Certification Form");
ft1.addItem("Corporate Account Form");
ft1.addItem("Partnership Account Form");
ft1.addItem("LLC Account Form");
break;

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

How to get ALL values as default for a drop down box in JSF

Hi,
I have a drop down box in JSF page which retrieves values from LOVCache.java. I have values like Company, Client, User, ALL in the drop down box.
By default blank value is selected for the drop down box. I want to make ALL(which retrieves data for all the values) as default value for the drop down box.
Could any body help me? Any help must be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aseet

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,

How do i change the backgrond color of a drop down box.

I'm creating a form which has a colored background and a drop down box with 5 choices. The problem is the font color in the drop down box is white and so is the background color of the drop down box so the selections are not visible unless you scroll over them. I would like the background of the drop down box to match the background of the form.
Also, can the font size of a selection in a drop down box be different then what is displayed. The font is set to 35 so it's huge when displayed in the drop down box. It would be nice if the selections were displayed in the drop down box in size 10 font but displayed on the form once selected as size 35.
Thanks!
Mike

You can set the background colour with (in formcalc):
$.fillColor = "5,5,5" // obviously changing the numbers to the RGB colour you want
or if it is not going to change just set it in Border tab under Background fill.
For the size of the font - set the dropdown box to size 10 font and then in the exit event of the dropdown list put (in formcalc):
$.font.size = "35pt"

Drop down box

I am using ACrobatX pro. I am a determined novice and any help is appreciated.
Before I added any code I created my PATTERN drop-down box and my ColorSelect drop-down box. For the ColorSelect box, which is the one I want to vary depending on the Pattern selected, I have not entered any items since this is what I want the JavaScript to do after the pattern is selected.
Next I went to TASKS, OTHER TASKS, JAVASCRIPTS, DOCUMENT JAVASCRIPTS
I used the article Programming List and Combo fields in Acrobat and LiveCycle forms - Part 1
Thom Parker – September 18, 2007 which I was referred to by GKaiseril, and added the following code which I modified slightly changing the field names and eliminating the reference to a 2nd field for price.
SetColorEntries()
var oPatternColors = {
Alamos: [
["Champagne"],
["Winter White"]
Alana: [
["Champagne"],
["Winter White"]
Altoona: [
["Barley"],
["Marble"],
["Winter White"]
Ama: [
["Marble"]
Anlu: [
["Champagne"],
["Marble"]
function SetColorEntries() {
if(event.willCommit) {
// Get the new color list from the Pattern List
// Since the selection is being committed,
// event.value contains the pattern name
var lst = oPatternColors[event.value];
// Clear the Colors list if there are no colors for the selected pattern
if( (lst != null) && (lst.length > 0) )
this.getField("ColorSelect").setItems(lst);
else
this.getField("ColorSelect").clearItems();
Then I selected the PATTTERN drop-down box properties, and picked Actions. Under select trigger I thought Mouse exit (kind of like after update) made the most sense. For select action I picked run a Javascript. Then in the pop up window where it says Create and Edit Java Scripts I typed SetColorEntries();
The system accepted my code; however, when I try to run it, nothing happens. Well actually I get the dreaded error beep.
I am hoping someone sees what I am doing wrong, and can offer some help. This order form will be very useful to my company and once I get it, I am hoping to apply to various other order forms I am creating for our customers
Thanks

Use the inspector for the cell you want the "Pop-Up" menu. Select Cell Format "Pop-Up". Then enter the list of items required. You can copy this cell to other cells with the same requirements.

WAD drop-down box and commands on Set Variable values/ Set Filter Values

Hello to all
I am confused in WAD and Help online couldn't clarify my concerns. Thus here following issue:
I am using a WAD, where the data provider (query) is set dynamically. I would like that
1 user selects company in drop-down-box 1
2 I use commands on drop-down-box 1 to manage the next drop-down-box 2 ( like it becomes input ready)
3 user selects plant in drop-down-box 2
4 User selects a tab strip A, where report A of multiple reports is placed. Now in this moment I assign the query A to the data provider A.
Now my questions:
- I am not clear how to use the bex-variables required for the query ( like company and plan). If I use in drop-down variables, then I can't set anymore commands
- What means and makes the command set_variable_state
- What means and makes the command set_selection_state
Thanks a lot for your clarification and help
Christian

Hi Christian,
I will try and answer your Qs
- I am not clear how to use the bex-variables required for the query ( like company and plan). If I use in drop-down variables, then I can't set anymore commands
>> Can you explain how exactly are you trying to populate the DropDown webitems for Company / Plant data for user-selection.
- What means and makes the command set_variable_state
>> SET_VARIABLE_STATE is used to assign input values to your query variables. Here, the command gives you a range of input options to select from such as Characteristic/Text/Formula/Hierarchy Variables & Binding Type Selection. Binding Type Selection in addition gives you more options such as assigning manual input from a Text webitem [ITEM_INPUT], assigning value from another Variable [VARIABLE], or simply assigning the selected value from an underlying Data Provider such as one mapped to a DropDown webitem [DATA_PROVIDER_CHARACTERISTIC].
- What means and makes the command set_selection_state
>> SET_SELECTION_STATE is used to assign input values to Characteristics in your query. It serves as a Filter option.
I think in your case using SET_VARIABLE_STATE makes more sense. You can use Binding Type Selection with [DATA_PROVIDER_CHARACTERISTIC] on both the DropDown webitems to assign the values of Company / Plant to the query on runtime.

Changing Values of Drop Down Box??

I have created a form that has 100 drop down boxes, each drop down box has the same values for the user to choose. I would like to know if it is possible to remove the selected value from the remaining drop downs once it has been selected?
Example:
Drop Down Box 1: user selects "A" when the user moves to Drop Down Box 2 "A" is not available for selection but the remaining values are. User Selects "B", moves to Drop Down 3 and both "A and B" are not available for selection.
I hope this makes sense and can't figure out how to make this happen, I am a fairly new user to LC and would appreciate any help. Thank you for your time!!

Hi,
While technically you can do this, I think that it would be a poor performance because the script would need to loop through the 100 dropdowns.
You would need to place script in the preOpen event of the dropdowns, that loops through and looks at previous selections.
I worked this up over the weekend, but it is not 100%. http://assure.ly/KXAUg5.
The script in the preOpen event calls a function in the AssureDynamics script object (see the Hierarchy).
Hopefully someone can pick up the running on this, as I wont be able to for the week.
Good luck,
Niall

Showing an object name in a webtemplates using a drop down box

Hi Experts,
i have created a Web-Template which is showing a chart and a tabelle.
I would like to print the webtemplates as a PDf version using differents views by using drop down Box gewählt .
It it working.
Problem:
How can i show the name of the object selected in the drop down box als Titel?
I would to display the name of the selected object als Titel.
Thank you for your inputs.
Cheers

Your treating the object like it has a literal value.
E.g. you can treat a varchar2 as a literal value as it contains exactly that:
declare
s varchar2(20) := 'Hello World';
cmd varchar2(100);
begin
cmd := 'DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('''||s||''');';
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( cmd );
end;
Result: DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Hello World');
Now what exactly do you expect the compiler to put as a literal value when you change variable s in this sample code to a complex type that does not contain just a single literal value?
To fix your code, try the following approach:
declare
cmd varchar2(200);
begin
cmd :=
'declare
s TString;
begin
s := new TString( ''str1'', ''str2'' ):
TestPackage.Process1( s );
end;';
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( s );
end;
Result:    declare
          s TString;
     begin
          s := new TString( 'str1', 'str2' ):
          TestPackage.Process1( s );
     end;As for using dynamic SQL properly, consider using bind variables (which also support Oracle classes/advance data types). The following code illustrates:
SQL> create or replace type TString is table of varchar2(4000);
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace procedure ShowString( s TString ) is
2 begin
3 for i in 1..s.Count
4 loop
5 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( s(i) );
6 end loop;
7 end;
8 /
Procedure created.
SQL> exec ShowString( TString('1','2') )
1
2
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> declare
2 cmd varchar2(200);
3 s TString;
4 begin
5 s := new TString( 'Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry' );
6 cmd := 'begin ShowString( :0 ); end;';
7 execute immediate cmd using s;
8 end;
9 /
