Drop down box user error

Created form with LiveCycle Designer on Windows. While testing form,
user reports issues with 'yes' and 'no' drop down boxes:
"90% of them,you cannot click on the very first option "YES" and make it stay in the box. You have to click on your second option, and then change No to
Yes."
I cannot reproduce the issue on my machine. Thinking this might be an older Adobe Reader issue on the user's machine, or a javascript issue as user is behind a company firewall.
Any suggestions?

final String accntErrStr = "AccNo=err";
final String monthErrStr = "Month=err";
final String errorSendTo = "../frontEnd.jsp?";
boolean accntErr = (accNo == null || accNo.equals(""));
boolean monthErr = ("Please Select".equals(monthDraw));
String sendTo = "";
if (accntErr) sendTo = errorSendTo + accntErrStr;
if (monthErr) {
if (accntErr) sendTo = sendTo + "&" + monthErrStr;
else sendTo = errorSendTo + monthErrStr;
//if (! addntErr && ! monthErr) sendTo = goodSendTo; ??
response.sendRedirect(sendTo);Or something along those lines...

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.

Getting the value from a Drop Down Box

I'm working on a database project to keep track of our Blackberrys. The problem I'm having is entering the values for two drop down boxes. The page I'm working on enters the FirstName, LastName, Department, and Location. Department and Location have thier own Primary Keys and are foreign keys in the Person table. Departments and Locations are aligned by numbers like 1 = Ohio, 2 = Chicago. They
don't automatically increase. The problem I'm having is entering them as a foreign key in the Person Table. I'm not sure if I use a getValue or getSelected or some other code to get the values to populate in the Person Table. I just keep getting a can't add department or location to table.
public String newUser_action() {
// TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
// case name where null will return to the same page.
if (personDataProvider.canAppendRow()) {
try {
RowKey rowKey =
personDataProvider.appendRow();
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.FIRSTNAME", rowKey,
firstName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LASTNAME", rowKey,
lastName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.DEPTID", rowKey,
department.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LOCATIONID", rowKey,
location.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.BEGINDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
//personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSONDEVICE.AQUIREDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
personDataProvider.commitChanges();
info("New User " + newUser.getText() +
" added to USER table");
newUser.setText(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Cannot add new User ", e);
error("Cannot add new User: " +
e.getMessage());
} else {
log("Cannot append new User");
error("Cannot append new User");
return null;

Web template - Drop Down Box options - Issue

<b>Requirement:</b> We need drop downboxes for Fiscal Period and Version in our web template. When the query is run, users will choose one fiscal period and one budget version (there are multiple budget versions - 1. Original Budget, 2. Revised Budget 3. Consensus)
After the query is run, users should be able to see data for any of the past 6 periods and any of the budget versions. So in the drop down list for fiscal period, he should see previous 6 periods and in the drop down for Budgets, they should see all the budget versions.
If the read mode is set to "Posted values", then only the values user chooses for the variables at run time will be shown. If the read mode is set to "Dimension table" it'll show all the available periods from the transactional data, which is unacceptable. We also tried the option "Can be changed during Query Navigation" but it will not work the version drop down box as it'll show all the available versions (actual, plan, forecast along with the different budgets)...
So, is there any other way of solving this issue? By any Javascript?
<i>This is what I did for the Fiscal Period drop down, but then the solution is not complete.</i>
For the Fiscal Period variable, I created a new variable and checked the option "Can be changed during Navigation". Then the drop down will be populated with all the possible values. This is how the Fiscal year/ Period combo will work. We'll have two variables. Fiscal year is fixed and we won't have a drop down box for it. So user can not change the year after the query is run. But he can see data for any of the 12 periods of the year he selected.
But there is a catch. This is not exactly what we are looking for. For example, if the user initially selects Year 2005 and period 10, then he can see all the previous 9 period of year 2005 (also periods 11 and 12). No problem there. But If the user initially selects year 2005 and Period 1, then he expects to see previous periods. But since year is fixed, when he selects period 12 from the drop down list, it'll show him period 12 of 2005 instead of 2004.
To avoid that problem, we can also put a drop down box for year, but that will become too complicated, as the all the possible years will show up in the drop down. Still trying to figure out a solution around it. Also same problem arises for Version. We only want to see two versions of the Budget. But it'll show them all the possible versions including forecast, actual etc.
Any insight is highly appreciated.

Hi.
I has the same problem working on BID.
Either you need to save the template with a new name or do it under BIP.
It worked after for me.
That's why I only do my templates under BIP now.
I guess a new support package corrects this error.

Drop down box and Dynamic presence

I hope this makes sense.
I have a drop down box with several values in it. Based on the user's selection, different fields and subforms will either be visible or hidden. To do this, I built a switch statement on the exit event of the drop down box. The statement works great until I start introducing dynamic properties to one of the subforms.
Two of the fields in one repeating subform need to be hidden or set back to visible depending on the choice in the drop down box. However, once you have added multiple instances of the subform, it only hides/displays the FIRST field in the subform. I need it to hide/display ALL of those fields when the subform is repeated.
To do this, on the first selection, I created a for statement to go through all of the instances and set all of those fields to hidden or visible as needed. However, it's not working. At all. Even on the first instance like it used to.
I hope I'm making sense. Here is the code I am using for my for statement:
var indNum = xfa.resolveNodes("RequestDetails.RepeatingSection[*].serialNum");
for (var i=0; i < indNum.length; i++) {
    xfa.form.form1.Page1.RequestDetails.RepeatingSection(i).serialNum.presence = "visible";
    xfa.form.form1.Page1.RequestDetails.RepeatingSection(i).requestedNum.presence = "hidden";

Here is what I have found, and I hope it is helpful. Where did ["+i+"] come from? It came from my brain, I guess. Trying to figure out some way of making it work, when all of the documentation's syntax seemed not to work. Even all of the books I have on Livecycle said that a simple [i] would work; but it doesn't within the resolveNode. I figured if it wasn't resolving the variable i, then maybe I needed to separate it out.
01371406, the only error I see with your form is a null error, which my form was doing do. I'm not entirely sure why it throws back null sometimes when it's done running through the loop; it should simply stop. Nonetheless, to fix it I simply integrated an if statement within my for loop to take care of it. An example of this from my code from earlier:
var indNum = xfa.form.form1.Page1.RequestDetails.RepeatingSection.instanceManager.count;
for (var i=0; i < indNum; i++) {
    if (xfa.resolveNode("RequestDetails.RepeatingSection["+i+"]") == null) {
          break;
    xfa.resolveNode("RequestDetails.RepeatingSection["+i+"]").serialNum.presence = "hidden";
    xfa.resolveNode("RequestDetails.RepeatingSection["+i+"]").requestedNum.presence = "hidden";
Something else that I found while working on this same form, that might seem obvious to others but took me a while to figure out:
I have a switch statement with 7-8 case statements. Within each case statement, I have two for loops. The first loop I had made used the variable i and it worked fine. However, when I introduced the second for loop, also using the variable i, it freaked out and stopped working. So I switched to another variable. (In addition, the letters h, w, x, y are reserved letters; you can't use them) After switching the variable, it worked fine. So I copied the loop into the next case statement. The form broke again. Apparently I could use a for statement with the variable i in multiple cases, but not any other variable? I literally had to go through the alphabet with the second for loop in each case. What a pain. I still don't know why it was throwing a fit like that.

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,
Aseet

How to get values from a multiple drop-down box.

On my first page, I have a multiple drop-down box as the following code.
<select name="selInterMethod" class="textbox" multiple>
<option selected value="CH">Chicago</option>
<option value="NY">New York</option>
<option value="SF">San Francisco</option>
</select>
On my second transaction page, I need to save "CH-NY" into my Database column: city if the user selected Chicago and New York.
How can I accomplish this in JSP?
Thanks for your help.

I figured out the solution. Here it is. FYI
String inter_method = "";
String Inter_Method[]=request.getParameterValues("selInterMethod");
     if( Inter_Method.length > 0 ) {
          for (int i = 0; i < Inter_Method.length; i++) {
               inter_method = inter_method + '-' +Inter_Method;
          inter_method = inter_method.substring(1,inter_method.length());
          System.out.println("trx inter_method = " + inter_method);

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

Multiple select options in 1 drop down box?

Hi,
I have created a form that works perfectly except for the fact that I need to provide multiple select options in the 1 drop down box; for example, I'm asking what product the customer is interested in and his answer could be multiple items such as Soap, Sanitizer, Hand Towels, Face Cloths etc...
At the moment, the customer can only select 1 item not multiple.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
It is not possible to allow the user to select multiple items in a dropdown list.
You could use a list box, which does allow multiple selections.
Good luck,
Niall
Assure Dynamics

How do I use a drop-down box to turn on a radio button?

I have a dynamic form with a drop-down box containing selections 1, 2, 3, and 4; later in the form I have a radio button group with two radio buttons labeled "pass" and "fail".
I would like to have drop-down selections 1 and 2 automatically select "fail" and 3 and 4 automatically select "pass" in the radio button group, with the option of the user changing this with a warning message.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thx
Drew

Hi,
you can use this JavaScript in the change event of your drop down list.
var sel = xfa.event.newText;
RadioButtonGroup.rawValue = (sel === "1" || sel === "2") ? 1 : 2;

My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

Dynamically create drop down box with JSP

Hi,
I hope this is not a repeat post, I have search the forum and a posting has not jumped out at me. I am making a jsp that dynamically constructs a custom SQL query.
I have a number of text boxes with an id, my jsp page calls a servlet, the servlet reads the contorl id and the value to build the query - this works great. However, there's a large text input box which receives a number of extra conditions - this text box receives the input in the following format:
searchAttributeName1,searchAttributeValue1;searchAttributeName2,searchAttributeValue2
This is functional, however, it's a bit rubbish as the user has to know the special recognised attributeNames. What I would like to have is some sort of criteria control. This would consist of a drop down box populated from the servlet, a text input for the value and a button to add another criteria control. so the user could build up the number of query criteria. The drop down box ensures they cannot select the wrong keyword, pressing the add criteria button adds a new drop down box and text box pair to the screen.
An example of this I recently saw was at Intel's jobs search web site https://jobs.intel.com/jobs/jobs.iccw - see that for example.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this? I initially thought use jsp scripting (there is no restriction against this) but I need to use javascript I'm guessing as the button click triggers adding a new combo box. Another idea was to use styles and tables to hide the other drop down boxes but this seems like a real hack that I'd like to avoid. I can do with with .NET i hope java can deliver!
Any ideas are much appreciated - I am a novice with java web development so please, any examples thoroughly explain (no need to explain populating the drop down box - there seem to be plenty of posts on this).
Thanks for any help or ideas on this issue -

Gina,
Here is some sample code for using a ComboBox in a JSP from an EditCurrentRecord bean. This particular example uses a query, you can also populate combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes from a static list. See the JavaDocs for the EditCurrentRecord bean.
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(application, session , request, response, out, "wt_bc_WT_bcModule.WalkthroughEngineSlidesView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("WalkthroughEngineSlidesView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.useComboBox("Presname","select pres_name,pres_name from wt_info","PRES_NAME","PRES_NAME");
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>
null

Drop-down box population

I have tried to research this situation through the forums, but all the answers I've found are ... not quite 'it'.
I'm working in a relatively small company, producing forms to automate a good deal of the workflow. ( I used to be a Notes Dev and Admin, back in the day, so I'm very familiar with workflow and automating forms but this company is small enough that a lot of the backend processing is ... missing or in 'long term development'.) I have an expense report type form where I need to be able to have the users select the type of expense from a drop down box to start their line items, and then use the other kinds of fields to fill in the other data. However, the drop-down needs to be at least vaguely dynamic as specific projects/work details come on and get removed. Managing more than a dozen lines by hand is tedious and annoying.
Is there any way to popluate a drop down box's list with a hidden field on the form? It would save me a LOT of trouble if I could enter the data into a multi-line field and have the form auto-populate with that data instead. Barring that, is there a 'fast' way to clear out a list for a drop-down field without using the little minus sign to remove each item individually?
Many, many thanks in advance.

I know this is a over a year old, but I needed to populate a drop down list with over 400 entries, so I downloaded the above form and it would not hold enough entries. So I edited it and made the file 100 inches long and it had more than enough room for my entries I needed. It may well hold almost 1000 entries, I did not check. but here is a link to the longer form for those of you who need to enter many more entries.

Thanks to George Johnson for the wonderful first edition that has work well for many I am sure. This is his form only much longer to allow more entries.
