Changing the "Browse..." button label in input type file

Hi,
I am facing a problem. I have got an HTML page. On this page, I have got a file selector(input type = file) in which I want to change the label of the "Browse..." button. Does anybody have an idea, how can it be done?
Thanks,

Changing button label;JSP; input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search"

Hello everybody,
I try to develop a multilanguage application in which the button labels will change accordingly with the browser's regional settings.
The line in the generated DataQueryComponent.jsp file is the following:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search">
If I want to change the value like value="Rechercher" the application will not execute the query.
In fact the section
<jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate datasource="dsQuery" >
</jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate>
is not executed.
I tried to generate the button with:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Rechercher" onClick="this.value='Search'"> ,
but for a long query the name Search will remain as button label on the screen.
Any new solutions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Getting access denied error while importing file using input type="file"

Hi All,
I am using struts application wherein I need to import file for some purpose.I have used input type="file" for the same which goes like:
<input type="file" id="uploadFile" name="uploadFile" size="50">
I have the import button on which I have used onClick event to call javascript function submitValues() used to validate all the fields from the page which goes like:
<input type="button" name="select" value="Import" class="CSSButton" onClick="javascript:submitValues();">
The JS function then in turn submits the form and calls the action.The problem is sometimes even when the correct path is specified for the file to be imported results in access denied error.This error comes sometimes and other times it works fine.But when this error comes,I need to relogin into the application and then it works fine.I am using IE7 for this.
Any idea why I am getting access denied error while importing? Has it got something to do with IE7 version or with the input type="file" which is being used here?
Thanks for any help if anyone can provide.

Hi Friends,
I have gone through scores of examples and i am failing to understand the right thing to be done to copy a file from one directory to another. Here is my class...So let's see... C:\GetMe1 is a directory on your machine, right? And this is what you are doing with that directory:
public static void copyFiles(File src, File dest) throws IOException
// dest is a 'File' object but represents the C:\GetMe1 directory, right?
fout = new FileOutputStream (dest);If it's a directory, where in your code are you appending the source file name to the path, before trying to open an output stream on it? You're not.
BTW, this is awful:
catch (IOException e)
IOException wrapper = new IOException("copyFiles: Unable to copy file: " +
src.getAbsolutePath() + "to" + dest.getAbsolutePath()+".");
wrapper.initCause(e);
wrapper.setStackTrace(e.getStackTrace());
throw wrapper;
}1) You're hiding the original IOException and replacing it with your own? For what good purpose?
2) Even if you had a good reason to do that, this would be simpler and better:
throw new IOException("your custom message goes here", e);
rather than explicitly invokign initCause and setStackTrace. Yuck!

Change the rows button image

Hi,
I want to know if there is an easy way in DW to change the default button the browser displays for the "browse" button when I use an input field:
e.g. using:
<input type="file" name="fileatt">
I've looked at this link but not only that it fails to work for me but also I want to know if there is a simpler method.
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html

That's pretty strange stuff. Is it representative of the actual code on the page? I mean -
1. Is the stylesheet actually between the <html> and the <head> tag?
2. Do you actually have the paragraph, h1, div and input tags within the head region of the page?
Most likely that's why it's not 'working'.
Try this code and see if it works better (seems to work OK on my side, but I don't have the browse.png file) -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    function initFileUploads() {
    if (!W3CDOM) return;
    var fakeFileUpload = document.createElement('div');

        x[i].className = 'file hidden';

Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

I've had the <input type="file"> ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now.
There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server. It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg. This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict. There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _. This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg.
     This is where the problem appears. If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem. And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
     The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located. Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology. I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not. If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it. If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
     This would be the perfect solution. It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away. This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for. If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
     Which finally leads to my question: I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax. I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
     Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.

Adam,
     Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should.
     I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation. This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names). The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file. If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice. The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit. Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded.
     Thanks again for your suggestion. I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

After I have migrated a 'master' profile into another, the browse button (for a download location) in Options, General doesn't work anymore. How can I fix this?

Hi Supporters,
I've been struggling with this some time (downloading / saving problems) and tried all kinds of variations. But I'll keep it simple for now.
As a test .. I've just created a fresh firefox profile. Checked out if could change the download location, through the Browse button, and indeed that worked. I got an explorer dialog to choose a folder.
Normally I would do the options, manage the search engines, do some layout stuff etc etc in order to get some 'baseline / master' profile I can evolve further into other more extended profiles. So you see this master profile will get copied into another one.
But, having copied that fresh profile (having done nothing yet) into another seems to disable choosing another download folder. The Browse button in Options > General does not work anymore.
There's more. If I browse to, say, C:\ as default download location but then enable 'ask me where to save ..' in the fresh profile and then copy this profile to another one .. if I then want to change the download location (which shows C:) it jumps to Desktop and again the Browse button won't work.
This is driving me mad. Any ideas? Sorry for the long story, hope it helps.

Hi guys,
@cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
@jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

Change the home button back to the left side!!!!! I've changed browsers and would like to change back and upgrade to FF 6.0 if you can get that fixed!

"change the home button back to the left side!!!!! I've changed browsers and would like to change back and upgrade to FF 6.0 if you can get that fixed!"
And why can't I send an email from the old browser? lame!

You can open the open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and drag the home button to where you want it to appear.

Query regarding changing the background color of an input text

Hi,
I want to change the background color of an input text component.When I tried with the back-ground color inline style, it changed the color of the label instead of changing the background color.Is there any way I could do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
use the contentStyle property (or skinning af|inputText::content if you want to change this in one place for all input text fields)

How do I change the browser language in Firefox 4?

I upgraded to the beta version of Firefox 4.0, and my browser language automatically changed from English to German. How do I switch it back?
It seems that the option to change the browser language under ''Options'' > ''Advanced'' > went away with Firefox 4.0.; at least I don't see it anymore.
Firefox allows you to select your prefered language to view a website under ''Options'' > ''Content'', but this has no effect on the browser language.
Please advise.

I had the same problem!
for me, the best solution is the following:
'''1) go to '''
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs
here you find an actual link to the''' language packs in any language''', for firefox 4.
They are in fact files called "xpi" (add-ons for firefox), to be found at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/xpi/
(but this could change at a later point in time...).
'''2) click on the laguage pack you like''' (in the file list as above described), it will be installed immediately by firefox.
'''3) type about:config in your browser address bar''', and go to "'''general.useragent.locale'''" (you can type this in the "filter" bar that you see there).
Edit the value to the language shortcode you just downloaded, if this isn't done yet (eg: "en-GB" for british english, instead of "de-DE" for german!)
* Take care when editing the about:config file! This could damage your firefox installation.
* This solution takes just five minutes instead of 20-60 to download and reinstall Firefox in another language from scratch. Also, in case you have already other settings done, this could extend to several hours...

How to change the TOC button?

Hi!
I´d like to change the TOC button. In former versions its simply with four lines on it, with version 8 it´s labeled with "TOC". Can I get the lines back??
And how do I change the label for bookmarks? (right beside the small bookmark icon it says "title", but I´d like to label it "content" or something else)
Thanks!

Still don´t know how to change the label for bookmarks in TOC ...
But I found the solution for changing the TOC button: somewhere in the program folder are FLA-files for the different skins. Choose the FLA corresponding to your selected skin, open it with Flash and check the library for the button you want to change. Doubleclick in the library and create anew (I changed the "TOC" into three lines). Export SWF and then take care to put it where the original skin SWF is located. Voilá!
Hopefully someone can tell me a way to change the label ;-)

Is it possible to specify a starting FILE for the browse button dialog?

I realize I can specify a starting directory/folder PATH for the dialog window that opens when the Browse Button for a file path control is clicked.
Is there also a way to programatically preset the "File Name" field in the window that pops up? (for LV v7.1.1)

You could use a normal path control (without browse button), a browse button boolean control, openg has one. And use a value change event (in that way you can force user to use the dialog). In the event case you can use a browse function where you can set a filename.

Edit: I am not totally sure for 7.1...

How to change the browser title Window or View Dynamically.

Hi
I have several application calling my applicationm and i need the browser that lauches the application to have different Titles on the Browser Title.
How can I change the Title from the Window or View?
Please advice.
Thank you.
Regards,
Vinod

The browser title gets pulled from the WD Application Description. Currently there is no API to change the browser title from within WDA. Next year in 7.02 we do add such an API. Here is an example of what will be possible in 7.02:
data l_window_title type string.
case lv_transaction_type.
when wd_assist->create_mode.
l_window_title = `Create Sales Order`.
when wd_assist->display_mode.
l_window_title = `Display Sales Order: ` && so_id.
when wd_assist->change_mode.
l_window_title = `Change Sales Order: ` && so_id.
endcase.
wd_this->wd_get_api( )->get_component( )->get_application( )->set_window_title( l_window_title ).
Setting the title on a View is easier. You can just use a Tray or Group UI element as the root of your view and set the title property of the UI element dynamically by context binding to the property.

Removal of the the Browse button at the lower right corner.

Just would like to send out a request for apple to update the new iTunes 8.0 by re-adding the "Browse" button at the lower right hand corner, along side of the new genius button. I found the feature in the drop down view section on the top bar, but I'm sure users will be lost and have a hard time finding it.

You can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can also use a keyboard command to open and close the browser. Hold down the Command and B keys together.

How to change the text of label dynamically

Hi all,
I have done a dynpro program.It requires to implement the dynamically display the label text, for example: there is a label, sometimes, we want to display "Purchase Order" and sometimes we want to display "Sales Order". Can anyone tell me how to change the text of label according to my requirements? thanks in advance!

Hi Wei,
AS of now you will not be able to change the Text Field ( Label ) dynamically or at runtime. This is a limitation.Refer to this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/2adbef449911d1949c0000e8353423/frameset.htm
But, there is a way around.
You can make a text field Visible / Invisible based on your program logic. So, based on what you want, you can process a module which will take care of that.
Have a look at these DEMO Code. You can have a good idea to implement the logic.
