Drop-down list expand upwards

Hi All,
I have a drop down list at the end of my page. when expanding it, the options cannot be seen in their entirety as the page ends immediately after. Users have to use the scroll bar to see all the options. Is there a way to make a drop down list expand upwards instead of downwards?
Thanks.

Just as a test, I tried this out...   I am assuming this is what you are trying to do? I put the drop down list at the very bottom of the page and it automatically does this. Maybe you are using an old version of LiveCycle?

  • Dropping down a drop-down list via code

    I wish to make drop-down list expand when you enter the field (or via code) in addition to the normal drop down action when clicking on the arrow.

    There is an openList() method that you can fire on the enter event, for example
    // form1.page1.dd::enter - (JavaScript, client)
    xfa.host.openList(form1.page1.dd);
    but the list does not remain open.
    I see a reference to a known problem, but not necessarily the same problem, at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405021.html . The solution does not have any effect in Acrobat/Reader 9.1.

  • Onfocus expand drop down list

    Does anyone know how to code the onfocus or enter field to expand the drop-down list and/or to highlight a list item based on enter the first, second letters? I have seen the effect as you begin typing the first match shows up, then moves with the second letter to the next first match.

    You can only use the 1st letter to move the focus in the DDlist.

  • Prevent Identical Selection in Drop Down List in an Expanding Table

    Hi All,
    I have a 2x2 table in which the top row is a header row and the bottom row 'Row1'. Row1 Cell1 has two buttons in it, one to add a new Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
    this.parent.parent.instanceManager.addInstance()
    ...and one to remove any Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
    var rowNum = this.parent.parent.index;
    this.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance(rowNum);
    Row1 Cell2 contains a datadropdown object.  Basically, when a user adds an extra Row1, I need to prevent them from selecting a previously selected item from the dropdowndata list.  I'm having trouble figuring it out because I'm trying to put together exit instance script (or should it be validate script?) that is trying to reference Row1[*].  In simpler situations where I have two fixed objects, I have just been doing this as a FormCalc exit script:
    if (Object1 = Object2)
    then xfa.host.messageBox("You can't select the same thing again")
    and xfa.host.resetData("Object1")
    endif
    ... which prevents the user from selecting something with the same rawvalue by alerting them, then clearing the field. 
    Hope this makes sense and that someone can help!  Thanks in advance to all the adobe gurus out there

    Hi,
    Would it be possible to filter out the choices in the drop down list that have already been selected.  If so you could try something like this JavaScript in the preOpen event of your drop down.
    var dropDownItems = [ "abc", "def", "hij" ];
    var rows = Table1.resolveNodes("Row1[*]");
    for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
        var row = rows.item(i);
        if (!row.DropDownList1.isNull)
            dropDownItems = dropDownItems.filter(function(element) { return element !== row.DropDownList1.rawValue});
    this.setItems(dropDownItems.join(","));
    The first line initialises a variable with all the possible values and then we go though each row filtering out the ones already selected. 
    You will probably have to change the form object names to suit you form, but here is my sample to test the code, https://files.acrobat.com/preview/eb0256dc-af30-4f7c-9187-469ba84464a4

  • How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

    Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
    I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
    Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

    If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
    crazy with menus, try this out;

    Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
    installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine

  • Fill Drop down list in Interactive form

    Hello.
    I am trying to display multiple values form the context of an form, so not web dynpro! I am using a valuelist object for that.
    When I test the form I am only getting to see the first value of my internal table and the drop down list cannot be expanded.
    If I analyse the XML I see that the items are there which I want to display.
    What is the cause of this, or is this only possible with Interactive form in an Web dynpro scenario (I hope not)
    Regards,
    Harrie Prinsen

    Hi Harrie,
    As per this post, I understand that you are going to use a simple ADOBE PRINT FORM which fetches data from ECC and displays it in the form...Am I right?
    See, if it is going to be a Simple PRINT FORM which is NON-INTERACTIVE in nature, I dont see the need of DROP DOWN LIST in this scenario. I think that could be the reason why always the first item of the INTERNAL TABLE is displayed all the time.
    If you have an INTERACTIVE SCENARIO where the user can select an option from the drop-down, then you can go with ABAP WD/JAVA WD/ISR Adobe Interactive Forms.

  • How do I add rows to a drop down list. I am using Excel 2008

    I am trying to incorporate added rows into a drop down list and am having no luch.  Any suggestions?

    Any of this help?
    Enter the items for your drop-down list into a list on the worksheet, one item per cell. In this example, I'll assume that the month names start in cell E1 and extend down to E12, but they can be in any out-of-the-way location on the worksheet. In Excel terminology, a rectangular group of cells (such as E1 to E12) is called a range.
    Select the cell that will contain the drop-down list. If you'd like more than one cell to display the same list, just select them all now rather than setting them up one at a time. (Click and drag to select a range; hold down Ctrl while you click to select non-adjacent cells.)
    Choose Data, Validation to display the Data Validation dialog box.
    Click the Settings tab.
    In the Allow field, select List.
    In the Source field, specify the range that contains the list items. In this example, the items are in cells E1 to E12, so type =E1:E12 into the field.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141573
    NOTE   You cannot create a list in a shared workbook. You must remove the workbook from shared use first if you want to create a list.
    Every column in the list has AutoFilter enabled by default in the header row. AutoFilter allows you to filter or sort your data quickly.
    The dark blue border around the list clearly distinguishes the range of cells that makes up your list.
    The row that contains an asterisk is called the insert row. Typing information in this row will automatically add data to the list and expand the border of the list.
    A total row can be added to your list. When you click a cell within the total row, a drop-down list of aggregate functions becomes available.
    You can modify the size of your list by dragging the resize handle found on the bottom corner of the list border.

  • How can I increase the number of Tags displayed in Drop down list?

    When I go to Bookmarks/Tags, there are only 10 tags displayed. I have created at least 15 tags.
    Is there a way to increase the number of Tags displayed in the Drop down list?
    Thanks

    Do you mean "Recent Tags" which has an icon a blue-colored folder with a primitive looking magnifying glass over the folder?
    That folder does have a limit of 10 results. If you want to create an "All Tags" item on the Boomarks Menu, you can do that by creating your own "smart folder." The process I use is a little involved, so bear with me (also, see the screen shots).
    The query used by Recent Tags is:
    place:type=6&sort=14'''&maxResults=10'''
    So for All Tags we will drop the maximum results limit:
    place:type=6&sort=14
    ''If you prefer your tags in alphabetical order instead of having the most recently used at the top, use this instead:''
    place:type=6&sort=1
    Go ahead and select the line you want and right-click > copy it.
    Next, click the bookmarks drop-down button, expand the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click any existing item, and choose New Bookmark.
    In Location, paste the query, and in name, type All Tags (or your preferred description). When you click Add Bookmark, Firefox will add it, but it doesn't show the blue search folder icon. Drag the bookmark to the menu, and it will turn into a functioning search folder.
    Success?

  • Drop down list in Numbers

    Hey Everyone,
    I am currently working on a private cost center plan and stuck with this problem:
    In cell C2 I have a drop down list to choose a specific cost center. Now I want to have a drop down list for my types of costs in D2 but I want the options to depend on what I chose in my Drop down list in C2. In other words each choice from the list in C2 provides me with other options in the list in D2.
    Example
    C2 drop down list: Apartment, Food
    -> if I chose Apartment
    Options in D2: loan, electricity, water, heating
    -> if I chose Food
    Options in D2: fruits, soda, bread
    Does anyone have an Idea how to do this?
    Thanks a lot for you help!

    Hi quinn,
    The link says it has been moved or deleted. Is it one of mine or yours? If mine let me know and I will make sure it works.
    The link takes me to the User Tip with most screen shots replaced with:
    No message about moving or deleting. I guess it is Glitch of the Day. Let's wait and see if it gets fixed.
    ps in step 5 the note about preserve row is unneeded- if in step 8 you copy and use Menu > Insert > Copied Rows the formula will adjust.
    That is where I went wrong earlier. I did 'preserve row' ($ sign) and then had trouble with Insert Copied Rows (they kept the static references to the single Order Form rows and the expanded table did not work).
    Therefore I added this note in Step 5 to not 'preserve row' in step 5 so that the formulas would adjust in Step 8.
    Note: don't Preserve Row or this will not work if you want to expand it to an order form for multiple purchases. (See Step 8.)
    I am glad we finally worked this out . Sorry for my misunderstanding of your earlier solution (without $ signs).
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • When trying to assign IP reservation in IPAM, Domain does not appear in Forward lookup zone drop-down list

    I am trying to assign reserved IP Addresses through IPAM that is installed on a Server 2012 OS.  Here is the procedure I have been following:
    Login to IPAM server
    Open Server Manager
    In left-hand column select IPAM
    In left-center column expand IP ADDRESS SPACE
    Select IP Address Range Groups
    Right-click the appropriate address range and select Find and Allocate Available IP Address
    In new window, scroll down to Basic Configurations
    I can input the basic configurations with no problem.  DHCP Reservation Synchronizations look good too.  But when I get down to DNS Record Synchronization, I can't do anything with the Forward lookup zones because nothing appears in the drop-down
    lists and I cannot manually enter the zone name.  Here is a screen shot of what I see at this point:
    Without completing this information, I cannot complete the Address Reservation.
    Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Tom LaLumiere

    Hi Tom,
    This happens if your DNS servers that are managed by IPAM are not authoritative and primary for any zones, if they are not authoritative for the appropriate zones, or if there are not any DNS servers managed by IPAM.
    See the examples below. Here my DNS server is authoritative for 4 forward zones and 2 reverse zones. I can choose any of the forward zones but assuming I pick a range such as 10.0.1.0, I would be unable to choose the 168.192.in-addr.arpa zone because the
    IP addresses do not match.

  • Tables and Drop Down Lists

    This is my first time using LiveCycle Designer (8.2)
    I've tackled quite a few things thanks to the information I've found in these forums, but I have reached my complexity limit.
    I am trying to create a survey form that follows a process map with sub-process maps.
    Just to provide an idea of magnitude, one process map has eleven sub-process maps.
    I created a dynamic table with the ability to add and delete rows on a flowed page.
    The first row first column contains a drop down list.
    For each selection in the drop down list, the form requires eight inputs.
    Currently, I just copied the dynamic table for each subprocess.
    Each sub process map will have a running calculated total based on two inputs and a cost based on input.
    The overall process map will have the same.
    The entire section should seperatly show a sum total.
    I don't really know what would be best, but was thinking something along these lines:
    based on the selection in the drop-down-list, if someone selects one of the sub-process maps
    the row changes to allow the drop-down-list to be the one associated with that subprocess and
    the two running totals show up and remain at the bottom of the table.
    Only problem, is I have no idea how to do this.
    I have tried making the tables invisible, but they still show the input areas of the input boxes.
    Anyone feel like helping me figure this out?
    Also, isn't there a way I can populate a drop down list using EXCEL?  I don't want to manually input thousands of process titles.
    Oh, I don't have any XML capabilities, I am not connected to a server or any database, and everything runs at the client.

    Thanks for the input, I will watch the video.
    I was suprised that no one offered up any suggestions.
    I changed the design of the form.  I didn't want to, but I was able to get the product out on time.
    Just out of curiousity,
    Can I have a dynamic drop down list (A = {a1, a2, a3, a4}) that populates another drop down list (B = {b1, b2, b3, b4, b5} ) in table (Tb1) with one of the choices in the second drop down list (B = {b5}) is a dynamic choice that makes multiple expanding tables (Tc2, Te4, Tf5 out of a total of seven tables) appear each with their own (unique) drop down list?
    Or,
    Would it be easier to have the first choice (i'm probably using this word incorrectly) "index" the options for the other drop down lists, etc....

  • How to open the Drop Down List on the "enter" event?

    I am trying to find a way for the users to see the expanded drop down list options without using their mouse to click on the down-arrow.
    I am able to add script to the "enter" event so when user key-broad-tabbed into the drop down field, the first items of the list shows up:
    dropdown1.selectedIndex = 0
    However, it would be nice if at the same time, they can also see the rest of the options within the drop down expanded.
    Any help/hints would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    It would even be nice if the PDF could default with the small arrow already displaying instead of having having to click the field, then click the arrow. I'm just hoping adobe would add this in a future version.

  • Does Firefox for Android support drop-down list?

    Some desktop version websites extensively use drop-down list on the navigation menubar. But the annoying thing about this is in current Firefox, I can't find a way to expand the list items only without also triggering the link right onto the caption of the list, thus jumping to the next page immediately. If there's indeed a way around that, how to do it?

    The OS doesn't support hovering?
    Huh, In this case you devs are not at fault here.
    That being said, it sounds really ridiculous that you guys made a web browser that can't do anything of a particular desktop function. If you guys want some implementing suggestion, Consider these 2:
    1. Hold the Caption link on a dropdown menu, make the context menu appear, add another item at the bottom like "expand the menu" or something akin to that. tap it to expand the menu.
    2. Single tap to expend the menu regardless of the link below, tap the same place again to access the link, tap anywhere else aside the menu to retract it.
