Changing text in a selection drop down

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to change the text(not value) that is displayed in a single line selection drop down box from a javascript function.?
ie.
<select name="companyMenu" size="1" >
<option value=" ">Want to change this text</option>
</select>
regards
JK

its ok, found the answer.
simply place an id in the option tag and refer to the innerText.
ie
<select name="companyMenu" size="1" onchange=whatever(this.form);>
<option id="commonText" value="">Want to change this text</option>
and for the function
function whatever(f) {
commonText.innerText = "happy";
which replaces "Want to change this text" with "happy"
cheers
JK

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

Wrapping text in the navigation drop down menu

Help! Is there a way to wrap text in the navigation drop down menu. Some of the text is too long and sits outside of the drop down box. Is there code that I can insert in the below example or would this need to be specified in the css stylesheet that is attached? If this needs to go in the css stylesheet, then what would the code be for that?
Thank you!

<span class="preload1"></span>
<span class="preload2"></span>

Is there a way to actually wrap the text and keep the box it sits in the same size?
Height is determined by content & end-user's default text size.
Look at the Adobe Forum top menu bar. Mouse over Store > sub-menus. When text wraps to more than one line, the sub-menu adjusts to content. If you increase text size in browser it's more obvious.

Naren.In your action you need to call getParameterValues, which (if everything goes according to plan) will give you a String array of the values that were selected.

Multi-select drop-down

Hi,
I'm using Jdevelopre 11112 and JHS 11.1.1.2.29,
I need to have a multi select Drop-down.
is there a way to have multi-selection choise in drop-down?
thanx in advance

No, this is no standard JHeadstart functionality.
You can built it manually in a generated page (ask JDeveloper forum for help if you don't know how to do this), and then use JHeadstart custom templates to keep your page generatable.

To develop cascading select drop down box from web service

Hi,
I have two select drop downs one is "STATE" and other is "CITY". I am fetching the values for state drop down from a web service method "return"(*a list is returned from that method*) . Now i have a method in a webservice which accepts a string type argument(state) which returns the cities corresponding to that state. I made another drop down from "return"( list is returned from that method) of this second method which gives me city.
Now what i want to do is on selecting a state the webservice method should get executed passing "selected state" as a parameter to my web service function and that return will populate my second drop down list.
Can partial trigger help me in this?
If partial trigger is helpful,how will i pass an argument to my second method which is returning me cities?
OR
Is there some other way to do it?

Auto Populate Drop Down and Text Fields from Other Drop Down and Text Fields

Hi everyone
I'm trying to pre populate a "Proposed Employment Status" drop down field with the selection from the "Current Employment Status" drop down field and allowing users to select another option if the proposed employment has changed. If it hasn't it would just remain as populated by the Current Employment Status" entry.
I'm also trying to do this with text fields eg "Proposed Position Title" is populated with "Current Position Title". If the title changes in the bew employment arrangements users can enter it over the Proposed Position Title that is presented when the Current Position Title is entered.
I can get it to work if the drop down or text field names are the same, but this doesnt solve the problem.
Any ideas
Regards,
Michael

Java is a full featured-language and you shouldn't have any problem doing the mathematics, etc.
As far as the rest, Studio Creator is a relatively easy way to create the user interface that you describe. If supports drop-down selectable lists and standard form capabilities. A Web Application architecture would appear to be ideally suited to what you describe, and this is supported by SC. Be aware that this would require a server to serve the application to the client computer.
If the server is a problem you could consider an applet that would be downloaded from a website, and then run entirely on the client computer. But the first approach is better.

Font Selection - Drop Down Menu Selection

Hello All,
I have a general question about the FONT selection in the menu bar in iBA that has been puzzling me.
Sometimes when I select a font within a text box and move over to the Drop Down menu within iBA the default view is the top six most recently used fonts.
At other times the font selection moves down the long list of fonts alphabetically — say to Helvetica.
I have being playing around with the key combination keys to see if holding command key or a combination will change this.
By holding down the ALT / Option key turns the FONT PREVIEW view OFF so the menu is more compressed and maybe faster to load.
Any thoughts on this would be great. I would really like to be able to jump to my top six recently used fonts by holding down a hot key rather than at random times as it seems to me right now.
Any view?
Regards,
Nigel
TOP SIX MOST RECENT FONTS
ALL THEY WAY DOWN THE LIST

I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, restarted my pc, restarted illustrator, and it still didn't work - but, with my type selected, I went to Type -> Find Font and from there I managed to change it into aurulent_sans_mono ok. but even after that I still can't select it in the other ways. It's probably just a bug but at least I've found a way round it.
thanks for trying it out

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

hi,
use the set_attribute( ) method now to set the attribute with a particular key eg HIGH in ur case
// u can use the code wizard( control +f7) this code will be auto generated when u select the
//radio button to read the context node
DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_node TYPE wd_this->element_cn_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_NODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_cn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_node ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_cn_node = lo_nd_cn_node->get_element( ).
* set single attribute
lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(
name = `ATTribute name.`
value = 'LOW' ).
it will solve ur query ..
also refer to this component
wdr_test_events -> view dropdownbyidx and dropdownbykey ->method name onactionselect.

Multi-Select (drop down list) data not saving upon save/email

I have created a drop down list and modified it to allow multiple selection, i.e.
form1.BusinessAreaTable[1].Row1[4].ERP::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)
this.ui.choiceList.open= "multiSelect"; this.rawValue
= "-1"
However, when I go to save the form and/or email the list fields erase and the data / items I selected are gone.
Please help, thanks.

Okay, I have the form now.
You are using script in the form Ready event to make a dropdown list mimic a listbox. This is totally unnecessary. I have changed the ERP to a multi-select listbox in the Object > Field palette and commented out the script.
Here is the form: https://acrobat.com/#d=K*P4xKIA4kkqEHGTpgyvvw
The form has not been Reader Enabled, so user with Reader will not be able to save the data inputted or submit by email in PDF format:
