Drop-down lists, scrolling and IE 7 issue?

I was using Captivate 3 prior to my work upgrading to
Internet Explorer 7 and had no issues with capturing scrolling
within a webpage and chosing an option on a drop-down list. I just
recently started working on a new project and using IE 7.
I went through my steps on using a drop-down list and
scrolling through it to find an option. However, when I went in to
edit the demonstration, the slide that showed the "selection" put
the correct selection in the caption - however, the slide
background image had somehow reverted the drop-down list to the top
of the list rather than in the middle where the selection would
have taken place.
Has anyone else seen this?
I went back did the same steps - but this time, I made sure
to take an extra shot prior to clicking the option - so I had the
correct screen showing for the lesson.
Anyone else have any other issues going on with IE 7 and
Captivate 3 that I should be aware of?
Thanks.

I have only been using Captivate for about a month now, but
that is how it has always behaved for me...When you click and drag
it starts the "Full Motion Recording". I have had mixed results
with full motion so far. Scrolling up and down and zooming in and
out of a page have been problematic. You can change these options,
or turn off the full motion all together.
Edit--Preferences--Recording--Full Motion Recording.
BTW, I am using IE7 on a Vista machine so I cannot speak to
the functionality prior to IE7.

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

Drop-down list box and Mouse wheel.

When a xft form doesn't fit in the web browser (using webaccess) because it's bigger, the drop-down list box control has a distinct behavior than other controls like select control in html or listbox in VB.
When I click in the field to drop the list and scroll down the mouse wheel, the position of the control remains static while the form in the background scrolls down, so the drop-down list box is at the top of the other controls of the form. In most of the forms I've used, the "normal" behavior, if I can say it this way, is to scroll down the list. It doesn't disturb me at all, but some users have complained this behavior. Is there a patch for this control?
I've using form designer 5.0 with AWS version 6.2.121.0
Any help is appreciated,

No patch that I am aware of. It could be related to a memory issue within the browser container. I have seen this behavour many times over when dealing with larger forms.

Not able to select in drop down list

We have an on line database for our school. I can move around in it fine but when I try to select an item from a drop down list nothing happens.
Any thoughts?

There are a couple things you can try:
1. Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Debug Console and turn it ON. Return to Safari and reload the web page. Tap the Debug Console banner to see any issues when loading the web site. Then try tapping the drop-down list (select element). Do any new issues appear in the Debug Console?
Don't be alarmed if there are a lot of items listed in the Debug Console. Most of the time they're harmless. You're looking for a JavaScript error message (as opposed to CSS or HTML) that might give a clue as to why the page doesn't work. Is there is a JavaScript message that corresponds to the broken drop-down list?
2. Launch OS X Safari. Open Preferences (Cmd-,). Click on Advanced tab. Check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" checkbox. Open a new browser window (using Cmd-N). With the new browser window focused, select Develop > User Agent > Safari iOS 5.0.1 – iPad. (You can check that the setting is correct by loading http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ and comparing it to the real iPad.) Then navigate to the same page with the inactive drop-down list. Does the same issue occur as on the iPad, or does the drop-down work?

Columns in af:table rendering multiple times when filtering drop-down list

Technology: JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 SU5, ADF Faces/BC
Page design:
Master-detail jspx.
Each section is an af:table.
Drop-down lists created using instructions from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/screencasts/editabletabledropdown/dropdownlistineditabletable.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
Requirement:
Data in a drop-down list on a child record needs to be filtered based on data from one or more columns in the currently selected row of the parent record.
Issue:
Drop-down lists have been successfully filtered using a couple of different methods, however, any time the data from the parent record is used to filter the data the columns in the child af:table begin to render multiple times. Navigating through the parent rows may cause the child records to have the correct number of columns displayed or multiple copies of the columns displayed.
Removing any reference to the parent view object and hard-coding values instead causes this behavior to disappear.
Each of the following methods has been tried. Each filters drop-down list data correctly and each causes apparently random extra column renders.
1.     Cascading lists as per: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/mills/cascading_lists.html
2.     Drop-down list based on view object that takes parameters.
3.     Set where clause for drop down list in a method on the app module.
4.     Set where clause for drop-down list in a new selection listener method for the af:table.
Question:
Is there a solution available that will filter the drop-down lists correctly and prevent the extra columns from being rendered?
Thank you for any help that you can provide,
Joanne

Drop-down List not function in preview mode.

Hi all,
LiveCycle 8.2.1.4029
I have created a drop-down list and populated it with a text
However when I preview the form, the drop-down is displayed without the dropdown arrow and the options (text) are not displayed.
The drop-down list is the only object on the form.
If I load a form or xpd of a form created prior today the drop-down list displays and functions as normal.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Hi,
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat and then patched to 9.4 and everything is back to normal.
Go figure!!
Thanks for responding.

Drop down list value dependant on value in another drop down list

Hi
I am not familiar with Java Script so if anyone can advise me on this I would be grateful. I am using ADobe Livecycle V8.0.
I have two drop down lists - DDL1 and DDL2.
The choices in DDL1 are "High, Medium, Low, None"
The choices in DDL2 are "Positive, Negative, None"
If "None" is selected in DDL1 I want DDL2 to display "None".
If any of the other values are selected in DDL1, then I don't want anything autofilled in DDL2.
Hope this makes sense!
Thank you.

This should do the trick:
in the "change" event of DropDownList1, put this:
if (xfa.event.newText == "None"){
DropDownList2.selectedIndex = 3; // at pos. 3, you should have "None"
// otherwise change here at your convenience
else {
DropDownList2.selectedIndex = 0; // here first element empty/default
// maybe you prefer the last one
Note that generally dropdown boxes have the first or last element empty/default; this way, when you script the "else" part, you can easily reset DropDownList2.

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").

Philipp

Help with Hidden Drop Down Lists in RBList subforms

I have created a form that contains 3 isolated Radio Button lists, each with hidden subforms that are unique per each button.
Two of my RBLists and subforms work perfectly, showing hidden Drop Down List options and other fields as they should when a button is selected.
However, RBList3 presents the Drop Down lists as user entry fields only. Each hidden subform in RBList3 contains one drop down menu and one text box for instructions.
I've used the same javascript to hide/show hidden fields when buttons are selected. All settings seem to match up. Here is a sample of my code:
if(RBList3.F.rawValue != 2)
    this.presence = "hidden";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
else if(RBList3.F.rawValue == 2)
    this.presence = "visible";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make my Drop Down Lists in RBList3 show as functional Drop lists?
I have attached the form for reference.

Hi Paul,
I see that the code works for radio button G selection in the change event. However, what I really need to happen...is for the RBList options to be present on the screen without any subform data until the user clicks button E, F or G. If either E or F is selected, then the drop list and the text box would pop up as you currently have them placed on screen.
My original problem was that the EdgeDropDown2 list loses its functionality when wrapped in a hidden subform (i.e. SubformE or SubformF).
Can I add code to the change event to make EdgeDropDown2 and PanzDrawTxt appear only if either E or F are chosen. The code you wrote below works only for G selection.
if(this.rawValue != 3)
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "visible";
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "visible";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "hidden";
}else {
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "hidden";
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "hidden";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "visible";

Linking two drop down list together

I have two drop downs list and I need to link them together for the user to only answer one of them and it won't allow an answer in the other or vice versa. How can I set that up?
If answer drop down list A then can't answer drop down list B
else
if drop down list B is answered then drop down list A can't be answered.

The attached contains two drop-down lists - apples and oranges. Each drop-down list has a default list item value of " ", thus the default index is 0 (zero). If you select a value other than default, the other drop-down list has it's access protected and the list item reset to 0 (zero). Conversely, if you select the default value, the other drop-down list becomes open or accessible.
// form1.page1.apples::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.page1.apples.selectedIndex != 0) {
form1.page1.oranges.access = "protected";
form1.page1.oranges.selectedIndex = 0;
else {
form1.page1.oranges.access = "open";
// form1.page1.oranges::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.page1.oranges.selectedIndex != 0) {
form1.page1.apples.access = "protected";
form1.page1.apples.selectedIndex = 0;
else {
form1.page1.apples.access = "open";

Please help: Populating values in drop down list by onchange - javascript !

I am working on a task - I need to populate drop down named "year" dynamically (from database) depending upon the select of an element from drop down list "carLine" . I am calling javascript funtion on onchange event of the html select and setting property of the selected element.The environment is Struts and dynaactionform is being used . Here is the my html select for both the drop down list s and javascript funtion to set value. The getYears method is defined in the locatoraction action class. But after doing all these carLine is not getting populated with the values corresponding to selected carline.
Database side is working fine .
<script type="text/javascript">
function getYearsForCarline(){
document.getElementById('method').value = 'getYears';
document.forms[0].submit();
alert("submitted");
</script>
<html:form styleId="locatorForm" action="/locator/locatorAction" method="post">
          <input type="hidden" name="method" value="getYears" />
          <tr>
               <td align="center">
               <table border="0" width="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">
                    <tr>
                         <td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
                              key="label.locator.carLine" />*</span>
                         <html:select styleId="carLineBox" property="carLine" onchange="javascript:getYearsForCarline()">
                              <html:option value="">Select a Carline</html:option>
                              <html:optionsCollection property="carLines" />
                         </html:select></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                         <td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
                              key="label.locator.modelYear" />*</span>
                         <html:select property="year" >
                         <html:option value="">Select Year</html:option>
                              <html:optionsCollection property="years" />
Any advise will be highly appreciated . Thanks in advance.

Thanks both of you for the advise ! My code worked perfectly fine after adding separate action mapping for Year and using that as action in the form though the new action mapping point to the same action class locatorAction ..I still do not understand the reason behind this exactly(any suggestion are most welcome) but it works. Here is code for my action mapping :
<action path="/locator/locatorYearAction" name="locatorForm"
               input="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
               type="com.apps.sales.web.salesin.actions.LocatorAction"
               parameter="method" validate="true">
               <forward name="showCarlines" path="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
                    redirect="false" />
               <forward name="showModels" path="/locator/locatorModels.jsp"
                    redirect="false" />
          </action>

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

Firefox tab to fields and drop down lists with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Has any one else noticed some problems after upgrading to OS X 10.5? It seems I can't tab to every field, such as the "Keep me signed in for today" checkbox on ebay's login page. I used to tab to it before upgrading. I'm also tabbing past some drop down lists where you select the state where you live in sign up pages. And before you suggest it, I have already turned on "All Controls" in System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse. I don't think that affects Firefox anyway since it is a system controls option and doesn't affect the actions in a browser window.
Also, some drop down lists no longer drop down. I can focus on the list and even change the value using the up and down arrows, but the full list is no longer displayed. Again, this changed with the upgrade to Leopard.
If any one has experienced these specific issues or something similar please share your thoughts and solutions.
Mark

I am also having the drop down problem on my macbook, it's getting really annoying. On top of that, twice today (i just got the macbook three days ago) my keyboard will just stop working- i cannot type in firefox nor in finder or word.

Drop Down list issues in jsp

Hi,
I am facing an issue with drop down list in jsp pages on page postback. Let me explain in detail. I have a client.jsp page which has a drop down list and a text box. The drop down list is populated from an Action class (lets say testAction.java). In the client action form class there is a validation which requires the user to enter some value in the text box.
So here is the problem, when the client.jsp page loads, the drop down list is populated perfectly, but then the user clicks submit button without entering anything in the textbox, the page loads again with an error message ("Please enter some value in the textbox"). At this point the drop down list does not contain any value. Any ideas what could I do?
I am posting the code here for individual pieces,
Struts-config.xml_
<action path="/client" type="com.myapp.struts.testAction" scope="session">
<forward name="success" path="/createClient.jsp"/>
</action>
<action input="/createClient.jsp" name="ClientActionForm" path="/createClient" scope="session" type="com.myapp.struts.ClientAction">
<set-property property="cancellable" value="true" />
<forward name="success" path="/loginSuccessful.jsp"/>
<forward name="cancel" path="/Welcome.do"/>
</action>
index.jsp_
<h5><html:link action="/client" styleClass="purplelink">Create a new client</html:link></h5>
testAction.java_
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
ArrayList<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrList.add("sports");
arrList.add("music");
arrList.add("test 1");
arrList.add("test2");
request.setAttribute("mylist", arrList);
return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
createClient.jsp_
<select name="droplist">
<c:forEach var="itemName" items="${mylist}">
<option><c:out value="${itemName}" /></option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
<html:text property="clientName" />
ClientActionForm_
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (getclientName() == null || getclientName().length() < 1) {
errors.add("name", new ActionMessage("error.name.required"));
return errors;
Here is the process/page flow.
index.jsp is the first page which is loaded.
Link on index.jsp calls action="/client"
This pulls mapping from struts-config and calls testAction.java
This populates the arraylist and returns to the createClient.jsp page (mapping from struts-config.xml)
Now createClient.jsp page has two fields (dropdown list and textfield=clientName) and a submit button
if user clicks submit, clientActionForm is called and does not enter anything into clientName text field, error message is returned.
At this point, the drop down list in createClient.jsp is not populated and is returned as empty, even though the scope=session in struts-config.xml
Please provide some inputs on how can I handle this issue.
Thanks
Ashish

I think one solution would be instead of putting the list in the request, but it in your ActionForm.
Add a field to the ClientActionForm with getters and setters.
Then change your action.
ArrayList<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrList.add("sports");
arrList.add("music");
arrList.add("test 1");
arrList.add("test2");
ClientActionForm frm = (ClientActionForm)form;
frm.setMyList(arrList);
return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
