Creating a button that will make fill in fields read only.

I am having problems trying to research this issue that I am having, so thank you in advance to all who reads this and assists.
What the overall goal is for me to create a form that I can send to a client and whenever they type the variable information in, they would check a box that would a) hide itself and b) lock certain fields but leave at least one open so they can send it off to their clients without worry of information thy have entered changing. My client has acrobat reader and I am looking for the easiest solution without having to suggest them to upgrade. Also, I am not that familliar with java scripting (yet) so some of the forums I have read seem rather confusing to me even when I try to use the scripts provided.

Just insert a link that uses mailto in the Add Filter or links dropdown just like you would with any other hyperlink.
Example:
mailto:[email protected]
Here is a detailed info on how to create mailto links

Hope this helps

I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word

Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
Thank you.

so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
<script type="text/javascript">
function CopyToClipboard()
CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
</script>
but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?

I would make the signature field read only until something is entered in the mandatory fields.

Mina,
You can use LiveCycle Designer's Action Builder to easily achieve this.
Please go through online documentation for the specific version of LiveCycle Designer that you are using.
It is intuitive and very easy to use Action Builder (You will find this option under Tools Menu item of Designer).

Can I create a button that will take me to a random slide in a sequence?

Let's say I have three simulations setup and the simulations start on slide 5, 15, and 23. Can I make a button that will randomly jump to one of those slides?

You have to execute that script using an event, in this case you'll use the Success event of the button that you created to 'jump'. And it will probably be an advanced action, unless you execute the JS with the On Enter event of the slide. You have two commands: first to execute the script, second to jump to that slide, for which you'll have to use a system variable cpCmndGotoSlide and the value of the variable returned by the JS. Slide numbering starts with index 0.

Is it possible to create a bean that will generate (fill up) applet paramet

Hi all,
As a newbie I was asking myself is it possible to create a bean that will fill up applet parameter or directly generate the applet ??
And I can I create it ?
I mean : Having a jsp page that make reference to the bean, the bean shall generatehtml applet parameter values.
Some samples will be welcome or a template.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for your reply siv viv,
I've posted this thread because I'm a little bit disappointed with Applet and jsp according to lot of thread about this subject (it seems that communication between applet and jsp is not easy : bug reported).
The basic thing i want to do is to create a dynamic Pie Chart as applet or bean so i need to set applet parameter thanks to variables.
See the http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=80250 this one is putting me in the dark.

Acrobat 9.0 Std - How do I create a button that will show / hide the menu bar?

In Adobe Acrobat 8, I was able to create a button that would show the menu bar using Link Properties. In version 9.0, the option I used is missing.
The other view options are there under "Execute a menu item": View > Toolbars > File, Edit, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I created a Custom list New Form and need to make the text fields read only

When I use SharePoint Designer and add the read only attribute to the SharePoint form field, then it throws a web part error.
but here is the thing, I have current user Filters populating the Form Fields. So the form fields populate First name , last name etc. and I need these fields read-only....
the Client doesn t want the end user to Change those fields. Is there any way to "LOCK" the form fields?
As I have only 7 text fields that need to be locked down. and one field is a signature line that is a true input field.. where the user has to inter their initials.
Any ideas? as I have tried most of the items available thru searches nothing works, or it throws that web part error message.

Daniel: ( I'm now at work, a different ID is logged on for me)
I used SharePoint Designer.
Steps:
created a web part page
then on the SharePoint Designer ribbon I then went to insert:
new item form
Then I selected my data source (list)
then I placed the 8 columns on the page
a page viewer web part to pull the manual that people have to read.
and 7 current user filter webparts. (1 for each form field) Yes it is over kill, but I'm trying to keep this straight out of box as much as possible...
then for the form fields
I added a parameter and the read only tag see below in bold:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" text="{$ParamEmployID}" id="ff17{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff17',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Employee_x0020_ID')}"
ReadOnly="True" />
I also added the parameters in the ribbon area
the error message doesn't tell me much, it just send me to web part maintenance page...
if I removed the ReadOnly = True then the error goes away..... So I was trying to find a quick simple JQuery and or javascript code item that would make the 7 text fields readonly and leave the
8th text field alone to allow people to place their initials on the page to say that they read the manual.
I have created hundreds of these types of pages .. this is the first time I have run into this issue, but it also the first time I have tried to use the ReadOnly = True item.
Any Ideas and or thought on how to make the items read only? and not throw the error.

Can you create a button that will go to multiple key frames?

Hi, I am trying to make a rpg style character select interface. What i am trying to do is very similar to the picture below. How do you create a button like the stats, gear, and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on which character you choose. If noone have played this marvel facebook game before, if you choose for instance Ironman, then the buttons on the right change to stats, bio, and gear. Each character will show a different bio when the bio button is clicked. Do i create a different screen for each character with the same button layout in the same place? I think i just answered my own question but i want to make sure that is possible. Should each character portrait, stats, bio, and gear be on its own layer and have the buttons go to those specific keyframes? thanks

While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database. The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that. That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character.

How do i create a button that will always play my flv, not just once?

I'm currently using captivate 5.5 and need to use a button to load my flv. That button works fine and when the flv finishes it returns me back to the slide with the button on, the problem is the button no longer works when you press it again if you want to see the flv again...help! My flv is set up to not be visible as I want it to be hidden until the button is pressed as it cover my entire slide when it loads. I set it to run for the duration of the clip so it's great when it returns me to my slide but then the button won't make it visible again when you press it. I tried setting the button to enable after show hoping it would reset the button but that doesn't work...as you can see I only know the basics of Captivate!

The issue may be due to the fact that once you've clicked the button its Success criteria has been used. This can be reset by re-entering the slide where the button is located.
So in order to have your video play multiple times, you may need to use a different strategy than your current one. You could try placing the video on a different slide to your button. Set the button click to jump to that slide, and once the video has finished playing, set the OnSlideExit action to jump back to the slide with the button. That way your button gets reset each time ready for another click to launch the video slide.

How can I make a button that will work on iPads? (animate only on Mousedown)

I am making an interactive page in Adobe Edge Animate. It will double as a low-mem website and also as an iPad page and is part of a larger flash website which is highly animated.
This website sports two kinds of buttons; the ones linking to a label in the timeline and the ones linking to a URL.
The problem is that I do not want the buttons to work on mouseover because that will be completely useless on iPads and similar devices. That is why I want the thing to animate on mousedown.
What I did initially was to load the on and off states of the button to my timeline and made them into a symbol, after that I made two labels inside of that symbol; one for the on state and one for the off state. Below the first label there is a "sym.stop("ONstate");" action and then my off-state button graphic has a mousedown "sym.stop("skipON");" action. Then comes the tricky part, I wanted to reference the label on which it should land in a onclick action on a root level. It didn't work at all. I used "_root.stop("label");". As you can see my programming abilities are extremely poor, I'm a graphics guy.
Next, I decided to leave the mousedown action inside the symbol and do the onclick action on the main timeline, which did work for the most part, however it behaved weirdly. First off, the mousedown action worked perfectly, but not at the same time with the onclick action; You would click on the mousedown thing and it would stop on the frame and then you would need to click it a second time to go to the label.
There must be either something I'm doing wrong or this function is not supported by the Edge Animate beta. But my programming abilities are so poor to pinpoint the real cause of the problem.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi, redcrowdesign-
Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment. Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object. If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");. If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
Hope that helps,

How Make the Report Fields Read only

Hi I have drop down selection in a Report field.After selecting a particular value and submiting it the field should become readonly.

Hi SanjayBala!
Create a conditional branch that will be executed if your select list submits (the branch must be conditional. The conditiontype is request = e1 and e1 is the name of your select list). This Branch ought to have a request (lets say select_list_ro). Create a read only condition for your select list (request = e1) that comes to use if the current request is select_list_ro.
Hope that helps!
yours sincerely

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.
