Drop down date boxes

This is going to sound silly, but here goes. I've created a form that has date fields. My employer wants the fields to be drop down boxes. So i have a drop down for day, month, and year. I have dates starting with 1900 going all the way up to 2025. There will not be anyone updating the form regularly, therefore, to avoid the maintenance of the form, they want the dates in the future. Is there any way at all, to allow up to the current year only (2010) to show up on the drop down? And in December of each year, the new year will be added to the drop down automatically? Is there a code for that?
Any help anyone can suggest is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nik

Well, thats what I suggested in the first place, but my employer doesnt think its user friendly. So im trying to make it work this way. I just dont want the date showing into the future because that doesnt look professional at all. If someone can choose their date of birth, and put 2015 as their birth year, that just doesnt make any sense.
Thanks for your response though!

How to get the selected value/key of a drop down list box in webdynpro Java

Dear SDN Members,
I have added some static data into a drop down list box by key UI element using the procedure specified in value help tutorial.
Now i want to display the value selected in a dropdown list box on view whenever i select an item in a dropdown list box.
Can any one put here the code part relating to this.
Your help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sireesha.B

Hi Sireesha,
You want to display value based on the key selected in dropdown list. If you want to do like that
1) Create a context attribute for ex: key_value
2)In the properties of the attribute select the calculated as true.
3)It will create getter and setter methods for your attribute.
4)Go to implementation add the following code in getter method of your attribute
String attributeName = IPrivateCreate.IContextElement.KEY;
//KEY is your dropdown key attribute not the value attribute.
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = element.node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeName);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueset = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
Object key = element.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
return valueset.getText(key);

DSN's Missing in the ODBC drop down list box

Being new to JDeveloper, I have been running through the
tutorials. I have installed Oracle lite on NT4 SP3 and have
tested out the sample data base 'Polite' using the installed
odbc driver through MS query ...all works fine, however in
tutorial 3 while trying to add the Data Form using Oracle Lite
driver, no dsn's appear on the next screen of the wizard when I
click on the 'ODBC drop down list box'. How do I get Jdeveloper
to bring up the DSN's. I have also tried the 'Sun JDBC-ODBC
driver' route, yet still there is not a single DSN in the drop
down list box.
Thanks

Drop-Down List Box on Form Is Cleared at Each Step in a Workflow Process

Hello users,
I am posting this in the Workflow Designer, Workflow Server and Form Designer forums so that it gets a little more exposure, so I apologize if you receive this more than once.
I have a Form Designer 5.0 form attached to a Workflow Server 6.1 process. On the form, I have a drop-down list box being populated from a text box by the OnDataLoad event on the form ONLY when the process is first initiated. The text box is populated by the OnAssign event of the first step in the process map. When the task initiator submits the form to the second step in the process and the user opens the form, the drop-down list box is no longer populated - it has been cleared. There is no code anywhere in either the form or in the process map that clears this field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is it a bug?
Thanks.

Unless you hard coded the list box on design time, it will lose all data when the form is routed.
Only solution to this is:
create a text box and store your list box choice list to the text box before submitting your form and import the list box choice list back from the text box on form ready.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to allow use to type entry into a drop down list box ?

Hi ,
Is it possible to provide type in the value option ( provide option to user like he can select a value from the extracted data in a drop down list object and also he can enter a value manually ) to a drop down list box on an interactive form ?
Nanda

Hello Nanda,
In the Adobe LiveCycle Designer you can specify several list items for objects of type 'Drop-down List' and it is also possible to allow custom entries (checkbox: "Allow Custom Text Entry").

Drop Down List Box from an Array?

I have an array - a lovely little 1-dimensional array of customer last names - that I want to display in a drop down list box so my user can begin to type a value in that list box and CF will bring up the matching entry.
I have tried cfloop and cfselect, but haven't had any success. Once the user clicks on a name, I want to be able to take that value and do some other processing.
Any suggestions?

No Ajax - CF is a ***** enough as it is.
OK - I see where you started to go with your link, but lost you somewhere in Step 2.
I like the idea of a master query with sub queries off of it (Queries of Queries). Here's what I got so far:
<cfquery
name = "MasterMemberQuery" datasource = "cfissues">
        SELECT * FROM Members
        ORDER BY LastName</cfquery>
  <cfquery name = "LastNameQry" dbtype = "query">
     SELECT MemberID, LastName
     FROM MasterMemberQuery
    ORDER BY LastName</cfquery>
This worked perfectly - nice cfselect to display the last names - just like before. However, I still cannot capture the user's choice from the cfselect statement:
<cfform>
      <cfselect name = "ChosenLastName"
                    query = "LastNameQry"
                    value = "MemberID"
                    display = "LastName"
                    size = "1">
     </cfselect>
     <cfoutput>
               The chosen MemberID = '#LastNameQry.MemberID#'
     </cfoutput>
</cfform>
The name "ChosenLastName" is always labelled as invalid, and the cfoutput always gives the MemberID of the first entry in the LastNameQry, never the user's choice.
I need to take the user's choice of last name, capturing the MemberID (the value attribue of the cfselect) and read the MasterMemberQuery to get just the single member's data.
And is it me or does this forum's site run at about 300 baud?????

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until 10/2014.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Drop down text box?

Is there a way, in iWeb 08, to have a drop down text box. Click on a little triangle, as in iWeb's page column or Mail's mailbox list, and have text appear?
Heading <<< before. Click on the > (arrow) and....
Heading
- Item one
- Item two

Do you mean a drop down menu where the viewer makes a selection or a text box that the viewer can add text to? If it the menu type Google from Drop Down Menu and you'll find a number of sites with the code you can use to add to a Web Widget HTML Snippet. Haven't found any sites for a box you can write into.
One of the sites is: http://www.brothercake.com/dropdown/

How to set a default value for a drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value in Infopath 2010.

Hello Everyone
I have two drop downs. Both are coming from look up fields from two lists. i want to set a default value(first list item) for the first drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value for the next drop down list box. I found one article(http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/display-first-item-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2010.htm)
where in i can set a default value but i can't apply cascading based on that default value. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Acrobat 8.1.2 Stops Working When Opening a Drop-Down Dialog Box

Whenever I try to open a drop-down dialog box in Acrobat the application stops working and Vista requests that the application be closed and that I will be notified of a solution when one is available. I've experienced the problem for six months. I must now solve this problem.
I've already tried repairing the Acrobat installation without any improvement. What should I do next?

Thanks, seems to solve some of the problem, perhaps I need to uncheck more in this dialogue box... May be 'a' correct answer but not the complete solution. Anyway if all I need to do is uncheck a choice in a dialogue box then it must be a bug or driver incompatability as there seems to be no reason why I shouldn't be able to use 2D graphics acceleration.
Works if you highlight several PDFs in File Manager and then right click and 'Open with Adobe Acrobat', the error still occurs if I drag these files into an open instance of Acrobat beyond two files. Also seems to be more of a problem if one of the files is a 'colour document ' or 'greyscale document' scanned by Acrobat itself.

How to use value in a drop-down list box as "With these Values" parameter?

Hello, new user.
I have a drop-down list box on Page 1, upon which the user can choose a study number. The List Box is named "P1_STUDY_NBR".
Then I have a list, one entry of which goes to my master-detail form, which is Page 6. I would like it to go to the study number that the user choose on Page 1.
In my target on the create/edit list entry, I put in "Page in this Application", "Page 6", then in Set these items, I put in
P6_STUDY_NBR
My question is what to use in With these values, where I want the contents of the P1_STUDY_NBR. I tried:
&P1_STUDY_NBR
and that does not work. If I put in one of the study numbers, like 336-00, then it does work, but I want it to pass the study number the user chooses in the list box. How do I refer to the contents of P1_STUDY_NBR?
-Mary

Yes, that does work, thanks. I'm now getting the default value I was putting in yesterday rather than an error message, so there must be something loading it, but I'll hunt around for what process might be doing that, or try re-creating the master-detail form again.

How to increase the width of the drop down list box in SSRS multi value parameter

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2012. I have a parameter, which accepts multi value.
The width of the drop down list box is very small, and the user need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box. But, if I don't use multi value then the length is good. Kindly suggest how to I increase the width
of the list box when it set to multi value parameter.
Thanks in advance,
Mahalengam Arumugam

Hi Mahalengam,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. When the values for a single parameter are too long, the drop-down list of the parameter will automatically enlarge to an appropriate size. While the values for a multiple parameter are
too long, we need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box in SSRS 2008. But in SSRS 2008R2 and SSRS 2012, we can directly drag the black control at the bottom of the list box to control the size.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for your reply. I understood we need to drag the list box to a maximum size to view the contents.
But, this seems an additional task, i know this is a limitation in the current version of SSRS and hope it will be resolved in the next versions.
Thanks for your efforts,
Mahalengam Arumugam

How can I get rid of the drop down suggestion box that appears as soon as I type the first letter in the address box? Runnung 7.1.2

Writelady,
I do not know of any such option. I don't think that it is even possible at this time, however it doesn't mean that maybe sometime in the future Apple or someone else will make a way to do such as your request.
I do however think that you should let Apple know your opinion if you have not done such yet. You can give them product feedback at the following link. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
I hope that this helps,

JSP problem - drop down combo boxes

Hi,
I want to load a database table value into my HTML form's dropdown combo box.
Actually I want to do this. I need to change employee information. To do this there is a form to enter empNo. Then it will display a .jsp page with the relevant fields of that employee. In this .jsp page, it has a drop down combo box for title. In my db the required title of that employee is Miss.
But how could I display this value in this dropdown combo box. Then the user can change it as she wish.
I try it like this way, but it isn't work.
<select size="1" name="title" style="border: 1px solid #0000FF">
<jsp:getProperty name="candidate" property="title" />
</select> Can anybody tell me hoe to solve this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have change that code, as follows.
<select size="1" name="title" style="border: 1px solid #0000FF">
<option value="" ><jsp:getProperty name="candidate" property="title" /></option>
</select> Now it displays the correct title. But how can I display the other 2 options below this? that is Mr. and Mrs. Because the user must have the facility to select Miss. or Mrs. if there any changes she wish to apply.
Note:
If a user has a title - Mr. , then the other 2 titles (Miss,Mrs) should be display below it.
How to solve this?
Thanks
