Clearing text field after query

I have seen alot of old post on this but no answers, I am wondering if anyone knows how to accomplish clearing a text field after a query has been executed?
Example:
User types a query in the search field, clicks submit then the query is returned and the search field is empty again ready for the next query.

I tried that and I was getting "(null)" in the value of the column I queried.
This is what I came up with and it seems to be working. In the Page Definition click Edit Attributes and add this line to the On Load section:
onload="html_GetElement('PX_SEARCH').value=''; html_GetElement('PX_SEARCH').focus()"That will clear the field and focus the cursor in the same field so its ready for another query.

I can't enter any value in the Text field, after loading flash files

Hi to all,
In my Java application, I'm using a text field and a panel to load flash files. I'm using JDIC 0.9.1 to load the flash files in the panel. The flash files are created by Flash CS4.
While running the application, I can't enter any value in the Text field, after minimize and maximize the application I can enter the values.
This problem happens after change the jre version from 1.6 to 1.7.
I'm getting the following exception while running the application.
org.jdesktop.jdic.init.JdicInitException: java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
at org.jdesktop.jdic.init.JdicManager.initBrowserNati ve(Unknown Source)
at org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.WebBrowser.<clinit>(Unkn own Source)
pls give me a solution.
Thanks in advance...:)

JFileChooser as save dialog clears text field on change directory

I am trying to implement a basic save dialog using JFileChooser, which initiates with an initial file name, "untitled.txt". However, as soon as the directory is changed by the user, the text field is cleared. I want to ensure that whatever is in the text field when the user changes directories (i.e., untitled.txt may have been changed to something else by the user) stays visible throughout any kind of user navigation. I've tried all sorts of things, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, it very well could be an OS/JDK issue. I'm using jdk 1.5 on Mac OS X (Tiger). Apparently, FileNameExtensionFilter is a jdk 1.6 implementation, because it doesn't work for me.
Here's my code:
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
String output = outputTextArea.getText();
        String selectedFile = "untitled.txt";
        File file = new File(selectedFile);
        fc.setDialogTitle("Save");
        fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        fc.setSelectedFile(file);
        setFileName(file.getName());
        int result = fc.showSaveDialog(this);
        if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION) {
            return;
        } else if (result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            file = fc.getSelectedFile();
            if (file.exists()) {
                int response = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                        "Overwrite existing file?","Confirm Overwrite",
                        JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,
                        JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
                if (response == JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION) return;
            if (!writeFile(file, output)) {
                setErrorMessage(ERROR5_1); //Just a custom error message and display.
                showErrorMessage();
                return;
        }Is there a workaround if this is an OS or JDK issue?
Thanks again for your help.

Clearing text field

Hi,
I have a page where you scan a barcode into a text field submits when enter pressed. If the barcode exists a report appears showing that record. The barcode must stay in the text field.
My question is if I scan a barcode and the barcode does not exist and then I scan another barcode, the previous barcode stays and gets appended onto the new barcode. How do I clear the barcode data out of the text field when I scan in a new barcode?

Hi,
Add something like the following into the report region's Region Footer setting:
<script type="text/javascript">
if (#ROWS_FETCHED# == 0)
$x("P36_BARCODE").value = "";
</script>Replacing P36_BARCODE with the actual name of the barcode field.
#ROWS_FETCHED# is populated with the number of rows fetched on the page for the report. If this is 0 (zero), then the script will run, and the field will be cleared.

Clear Text Entry after wrong answer

Hello,
I'm searching a way for clearing text entry box after the
user entered a wrong answer.
If this it's not possible to do that with text entry, is it
possible to do that with captivate question quiz, or somthing else?
Thank you
Miky Aviel

The problem is that the text-entry object is a "scoring
object" and it is considered best practice NOT to allow movement to
and fro once a scoring object has been answered.
The solution is to move forward through the eLearning
experience, not back and forth. So how does that apply? Well, one
way is to duplicate the slide, including the text-entry object, so
the same problem can be offered for solution in the slide(s)
following the failed effort. The same principals apply to question
slides ... if you want the user to retake a failed effort, you
should add (for instance) an "explanation" slide after the question
slide and route the use to that following failure; then the
following slide can be a re-creation of the question slide if you
want to give the student a second chance at the same question.
There are problems with doing it this way - for one, the
scoring is going to be "skewed" - or could be unless the second
attempt is weighted at "zero". But since the basic learning concept
of asking each question only once is being thrown out anyway, the
skewed scoring may not be a big deal (?).

Automatically fill in an a text field after a selection from dropdown field in a acrobat form.

I have two fields. One dropdown menu field for employee name and one field for occupation (an text field). I would like to let a employee select his name and automatically fill in the text field with his occupation. So for example:
John---> Automatically fill in "Engineer" etc..
Thank you in advance!

Can't edit text field after grouping

Hi Folks,
I have 3 single-line text fields and a logo combined by using "Add Parent". For some wierd reason, I cannot select any of the fields to make a text change. I can select them in the Elements Panel, and make layout or style changes, but as soon as I double-click to edit the text, my selection switches to the parent div instead of the text field. I tried using the text tool as well, but it always switches selection to the parent. This isn't a big deal since I can edit the text later in an editor, but it is a bit frustrating.
FWIW, I ran this morning's upgrade before starting, but I doubt that caused this problem(?) Thanks for any help
--Kevin

So sorry Chris, in my frustration, I removed the parent and group so I could get at the element I wanted to edit, then re-created the parent.
However, your description of the differences between Group and Add Parent in this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1361983?tstart=0 probably explains why I was having trouble. I beleive I had GROUPED the 3 text fields, and then wrapped both that group and the logo image in another div by "Add Parent". I probably was not clicking successfully through the Parent to the Group and then to the Text Field. Basically, I was clicking like mad, but probably not on the correct spot for each level.
Thanks for clarifying how these items work.

How to clear text fields when the user navigates back to the screen

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea on how to clear the text input fields and dropdown boxes when the user navigates back to the screen, say for e.g. create screen?
My issue is that i have plenty of fields in the create screen within a form. Is there a way to avoid programaticaly blanking out every field and just do it at the form level using an api to reset to a state before the user entry?
Thanks

This code allows you to make it more generic, and you would need to tweak it if there are more than TextInput controls, but it should provide some ideas.
As far as using states, you could use SetProperty to set the text to empty, but that might be messier.

How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

Cursor not focusing in the text field after Object tag load in IE

Hi,
We have an applets class "ABC.class" in our application. To include this class in a jsp page we are using OBJECT tag. This tag is written inside a if block in the jsp page. Based on the if condition this OBJECT tag has to be loaded. Below is the code we are using:
<%
if(testCondition)
%>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" NAME="applet" width="0" height="0">
<PARAM NAME="CODE" VALUE="ABC.class" >
<input type="hidden" id='myText' value="Please configure the jinitiator version to Oracle applicaitons Jinitiator version." >
No JDK 1.3 support for APPLET!!
</OBJECT>
<%
%>
In the above code if the "if condition" is satisfying, then cursor is not focusing on the required field. The code to focus on the field is written in the javascript function which is called onLoading the page.
we are using IE 7 and IE8. In IE 7 sometimes working fine but in IE 8 we are getting this issue.
Can anyone please help us how to focus the cursor on the required field even in the case of the Object tag loading.
Thanks,
Eswari

Hi Nicky,
Thanks for your reply.
We are not using JQuery.
Actually the code to focus is written in the function which is called onLoad of the page that will be executed after the page loading. If we keep alerts in the onLoad function then the cursor is focusing to the required field.
Thanks,
Eshwari

How To Save Modified Fields After query From The Database

I Have This Customer Information Form That's Sort of an Ordering Forms , I Made It By LiveCycle v9.0
And I Want To be able to search for Specific Record and Modify it and Save It Again to The DataBase
I believe That We All Saw The (( Data Connected Forms Presentation )) For Pual Guerette
At One Part Of The Presentation (Minute 0:26:00 specifically) When He Try To Search A Specific Record In the Database
And He Got all this annoying Messages Then The Record what He looking Shows up ; He Said That We No Longer able to Modify The Record After We Doing the Search
My First Question Is Why ???
Is there anyway After I got that Specific Record I Want from the Database I Can make my modification on it and update it Back in the DB.
OR i Have to Browse the whole DB looking for it Specially that I got this (ID Auto Increasment Number field Issue) Which leads me to ;
My Second Qustion;
Why I Can't just connect ''The Form Order Number'' to an Auto Increasment Number field in the DB
Obviously i can't, So Can I do Anything to achieve this goal ??
I Believe that we can Find some scripting to make that Happen
I Will Be So Grateful If There Is Any Helpful Answer
FYI: I'm Not Java Expert So If There Is any Coding That's Can be Helpful Please POST ALL OF IT if you can ,,,,

Hi,
The information there is excellent and I would strongly recommend it.
I don't have any public database examples and I am not inclined to spend time preparing an example if you are not prepared to read up on the methods.
Stefan's site is the only link I have for databases.
Good luck,
Niall

How do I set focus to a text field after I click a button that calls a webservice?

I have a web service that returns back a table. In order to show the values in the table I had to check the re-merge Form Data on the Webservice Button. My question is , How do I set focus to a field on the screen after re-merge happens.

I was reading SetFocus documentation and it says
You cannot use setFocus with the form:ready, layout:ready, or initialize events.
What I need is an event like doc:ready or someother event where I can put the set focus code in. doc:ready was triggered when the form first loads which is great and I was able to put my Initial setfocus. When I pressed the button that calls the webservice and thr re-merge happened doc:ready event was not triggered so now I am not sure where to put the set focus.

Clear text field cache?

I have a dynamic form that contains confidential financial data fields. How do I configure the form to not present a list of cached values from previous entries that match the string that is entered to that point? I'd really hate for client B to see client A's financial data.
Thanks!

I used the code (event.target.nocache = true; as described) in Designer 7.0.04 and it works fine. I suspect in your case that there is JavaScript code before that line that is producing an error (e.g., syntax) causing further JavaScript processing to abort. I have found that to be problematic during development and debugging. OH! If only JavaScript had a better development environment.
NOTE: "this.nocache=true;" was not found to work -- at all in any event I tried.
Though I am sure you have an answer by this date, this is for future developers.
