Drop Downs (or how to earn 10 easy points)

I'm following the tutorial for building online interactive form, which describes how to use different ui elements in Adobe Interactive Forms. One of the sections describes how to populate a drop down with values from the web dynpro, but I can't get that to work. When pressing the arrow next to the drop down the system think for a couple of seconds but doesn't show anything.
(When I try to use the ready-to-use project the drop down works fine, but when I try to built my own drop downs it doesn't work)
Is there something else I need to do beside use the Value help drop down from the WD platte and drag the requested node from the data view onto the drop down.

hi,
The thing you are missing is you need to put some script in the script editor:
somethng like this
var jsToExecute = "event.target.SAPValueHelp(\"" + this.somExpression + "\");";
app.eval(jsToExecute);
on that particular drop down. And also check whether the binding that you are giving is correct like $record.PersonalData.Department.
Hope this would solve your problem
Thanks,
kris

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Yesterday I updated logic pro and my IK Multimedia ARC system has disappeared from the plug in drop down window, how can I get it back, it appears on old files but not new ones

yesterday I updated logic pro, I have just discovered that my IK Multimedia ARC system has disappeared from the plug in drop down window, can anyone advise how I can get it back. It seems that old logic files where it was previously loaded still have the plug in live, but on a new project file it simply isn't there to select and activate.

Not sure about your issue. What did you update from and to? Is ARC still in the plugins/components folder?
I'm an ARC user too. I have it plugged in to Audio Hijack Pro which is set to hijack audio from Logic. This way ARC is after logic and you don't have to remember to bypass the plugin before you bounce.

CSS Drop down menu; how to align the right edge of drop down and parent menu?

Hello everyone,
I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well.
The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.
I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned.
I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use.
Thank you!
Here is my code:

Drop-Down Menu How to

Hi all,
I'm new to APEX (just a few days looking at it), I need to make a drop down menu like the regular website.
Example:
HOME - PRODUCTS - NEWS
-Weather
-Sports
Like when the mouse hovers (or clicks) over the "PRODUCTS" Tab and the list of items comes below the parent tab.
Any guidance?
I've been searching on several forums, and they have several CSS and Javascript files, I upload those plugins to my apex application but then I don't know what to do.
Please help!
Thanks

What you are trying to do is not trivial or easy to explain in a forum I think...!
You say you don't have experience with Apex at all, but what about the other technologies involved to achieve this? Like HTML, CSS, Javascript, quantum physics (no just kidding)... You will need a very good understanding of those to implement what you want.
Also, do you want that menu to be based in actual Apex tabs and sub-tabs or an independent menu?

Drop-down lists: how to avoid entering long item lists by hand

Hello all,
I am very new to LiveCycle Designer. I want to create a form containing several drop-down lists. Each of them have a relatively long (up to 30-40) list of pre-defined items that can be selected at filling time. Those lists, btw, can also change from time to time.
My question is: how can I avoid entering by hand those long list of items?
I have seen from the online help that LiveCycle Designer supports a "binding" mechanims that should allow me to load those item lists from an "example XML" file. I have done several tests, but never succeded. I just do not what XML fields should be used. For instance, I have named a drop-down lists as "List1", then tried to feed an XML file like the following:
This and other similar attemps just cause LiveCycle Designer to cough and show error messages.
Someone is willing to show me how to do the job?
TIA to all volunteers.

Hello,
+1. Complete Forms Solution described in the Dynamic poplist in a multi-record item. thread.+
This solution is based on dynamic list population with appropriate predefined record group (the number of such predefined record groups could be rather big --> 1 Continents*Countries.+
Record Groups can be totally dynamic, so you don't need to have them pre-existing at runtime.

MenuBar with drop down arrow - how to?

Hi, I want to add a drop down arrow to one of the buttons in my MenuBar (see mockup attached). How is this possible?

...anyone, anyone?

On the website bar when i type a letter a list of websites atomatically appear as a drop down menu, how can i erase these website locations?

I have already used the erase history option but that does not erase locations just the history from search options ect...

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

Element drops down below float in IE6 [was: Easy one... for you at least!]

Ok, has to do with Box Model or the chronic incapacities of those for Microsoft, from what i read. But this one is out my my my my my mind, or i am too tired to see.
Here is the CSS
margin:0;
padding:0;
line-height:130%
img {
display:block;
border:none;
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
text-align:center;
background-color:#006699;
#mainDiv {
position:relative;
margin:auto;
width:954px;
background-image:url(francais/html/images/fond40.jpg);
#contenuTop {
padding-top:200px;
#left {
background-color:#CC6633;
float:left;
#right {
background-color:#FF9900;
height:500px;
margin-left:694px;
Here is the HTML
<div id="mainDiv">
<div id="contenuTop">
<div id="left"><img src="694x385/20040604-00098.jpg" alt="" width="694" height="385" /></div>
<div id="right"><img src="francais/html/section40/page41/images/titre41.gif" alt="" width="260" height="69" /></div>
</div>
</div>
Here are screenshots form Browser Lab. First from IE7 then from IE6. Why the hell is it different???? There is no padding, nor width of any kind anywhere???
[Subject line edited by moderator to indicate nature of question]

What does seem to work in IE6 is to give left div a width of 694px, and right div a width of 260px, float right and margin-left: 0, and set the maindiv to width 954px.
I did not check this in IE7, since it really does not answer your question. Just thought you might like to know in case no other solution is forthcoming.

How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
Anyone able to help me with this???
Thanks,
Jed

Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
<select name="season">
<option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
<option value='2008'>2008</option>
</select>
<select name="gameselect">
<%
try
String year = "2009";
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
Statement s = con.createStatement();
s.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
while(rs.next())
%>
<option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
<%
catch(Exception e)
%>
</select>

How do I use a drop-down list to populate a list box

I'm using livecycle 8:
I basically have a drop down list with many selections available. I want the function to be when they select from the drop-down the choice they made appears in a list box next to the drop-down box. If they choose to add additional selections from the drop-down list they will add to the list field as well. If anyone has seen one of those on-line job application sites where you have a list of qualities on the left and you can select them and they populate to a list on the right, That is basically what I want.
I'm not too familiar with adobe quite yet and if you can break the process down as much as possible I would greatly appreciate it.

How do we display Pages with drop down one below the other ?

Hi,
I am beginner to Financial report 9.3.1 . I have repot mock up where i need to place pages like Time Period , Version etc one below the other with the drop down .
How should i proceed to achieve the same ?
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya

Try selecting a grid in the top left corner to highlight it,
Double check your dimension layout in the properties pane,
Make sure Grid Point of View is selected.
Can you be a little more specific as to what kind of report you are trying to create?
What are your Report layouts Columns, Rows and Page?

Hi All,

I believe what Norbert was suggesting is something like this:
With this code the "Continue button will be disabled and greyed untill a value change event has been registered on each of the four I32 controls. Note also that its always OK to Cancel (and the windows X is active so you won't anger your users) The caller should decide what to do if Canceled? is TRUE.
Modify as desired! the Attachment is saved back to 2012
You can safely delete the case structure....
Its a hold over from my VIT
