Get values based on Dropdown box selection-Important

Hi All,
In first table, i have an two textfields one is for "item no" and other is "item desc" and in the second table I have an "dropdown box" and "item desc".
Whatever is entered in the "item no" its populating in the "dropdown box", when an dropdown is selected any item that item desc should be displayed.
For example: In first table
Item no Item Desc
item 1   abc
item 2   def
item 3   ghi
and in the second table
Dropdown box   Item desc
item 2   def
item 3   ghi
When am selecting item2 in dropdown box the related text is not getting dispalyed. And moreover the using instindex and the value is populating 0, below is the script
var Instindex = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.Subform1.Table1.Row2.Calculation").rawValue;
app.alert(Instindex);
var my_concatcomm = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.Itemtable.Table2.Row2[" + Instindex + "].EnterItemDescription").rawValue
var my_concatcomm = "Page1.Itemtable.Table2.Row2["+ 3 +"].EnterItemDescription"
app.alert("Index value::"+ xfa.resolveNode(my_concatcomm).rawValue);
Can anybody please help me on this.
Thank you for your help in advacne

Yes one more thing, i do not want any buttons or anyother webitem to be clicked to get this. this should be set with some commands if avilalbe or some other guess ?

ADD ITEMS TO DROPDOWN BOX FROM A TEXT FIELD(USER ENTERS THE ITEM) AND BOUND VALUE ALSO

I WANT TO ADD ITEMS THE DROPDOWN BOX FROM THE TEXT FIELD(ITEM NAME) WHERE USER ENTER'S THE ITEM DESCRIPTION
AND BOUND VALUE ALSO SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SAME ITEM.
SAME WAY REMOVE ITEMS FROM DROPDOWN BOX
PLEASE GIVE SAMPLE FORM OR JAVASCRIPT FOR THE ABOVE SCENARIO.....
INDEED HELPFUL FOR MY PROJECT PLEASE SEND ATTACHED PDF FORM

Hi Praveen,
Your form is not shared so I have not been able to access it. But I have updated mine. There are now two approaches, one that follows on from the above method and updates each drop down list in each row. The second updates a separate dataset that the drop down list is bound to. This second approach requires the remerge() method which can cause problems if your code has updates some form properties like a borders color as these will be reset, but the code is simplier and you will only have one list to maintain. The add button click code is;
var particulars = xfa.datasets.resolveNode("particulars");
if (particulars === null)
 particulars = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup","particulars");
 xfa.datasets.nodes.append(particulars);
var particular = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","particular");
particular.value = ItemName.rawValue;
var boundValue = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","id");
boundValue.value = BoundValue.rawValue;
particular.nodes.append(boundValue);
boundValue.contains = "metaData";
// find sorted position to insert
for (var i = 0; i < particulars.nodes.length; i++)
 p = particulars.nodes.item(i);
 if (p.value > particular.value)
 particulars.nodes.insert(particular, p);
 break;
// add to end if greater than all existing items
if (particular.parent === null)
 particulars.nodes.append(particular);
// clear source fields
ItemName.rawValue = null;
BoundValue.rawValue = null;
// remerge form data to pick up new item
xfa.form.remerge();
And the binding looks like;
I have updated my sample to include both methods, https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=OwysfJa-Q3HhPtFlgRb62g

2 questions about Dropdown Box Item

Hi all,
I just started using Design Studio and I have two questions about the Dropodown Box Item (well actually it's more about scripting...):
- in the startup script of the application I want to populate one dropdown box with master data values of the infoobject 0FISCPER, how can I realize that? (if I use "DS_1.getMemberList...." I get only the values of 0FISCPER for which there is transaction data)
- as a datasource I use a query with 2 variables:
- Is it possible to populate these 2 variables with default values and skip the initial Variabile Initialization Screen?
- I use 2 dropdown box items to set the values of these 2 variables. For one variable everything it's ok (I select the value in the dropdown and the script populate the variable with that value and the data in the crosstable changes accordingly) but for the other variable associated to the 0FISCPER infoobject when I select the value in the dropdown it's seem that nothing happens since the Variabile Initialization Screen pop-up and an error says that I have to select a value for the variable. I did the same simple scripts for the these 2 variables, why does it work for one variable and not for the other?
Thanks,
Michele

I answer myself about one question:
"Is it possible to populate these 2 variables with default values and skip the initial Variabile Initialization Screen?"
Yes, it's possible to create a script in order to populate the variables in the event "On Variable Initialization" of the Application and set false to the property "Force Prompts on Startup".

BEX Web Template - Dropdown box Question

I have a web report that has a dropdown box that is used to filter company code.
The variable entry screen also allows the user to filter via company code.
The problem that I have encountered is that if you filter at the variable entry screen (eg choose company code 1000), then when you go into the web report, the dropdown box shows "All", so users are getting confused when they print this out, as it appears as if they are looking at all companies.
Does anyone know how I can set up the dropdown box so that it only shows the "All" item if there is more than one company code listed?
ie if they filter for a single company code at the variable entry screen, then don't show the "All" item
if they don't filter company code at the variable entry screen, then display the "All" item in the dropdown box.
Thanks in advance for any asisstance
Regards
Richard

thanks for your response.
Yes - I have tried changing the properties in the WAD - if you tick the "do not display all values" entry, then the "All" option is never displayed, and so it is never possible for the users to remove the filter.
I want the "All" option displayed only if there is more than one entry in the list box.

Richard

Dropdown box - which event handler to use ?

I am having trouble with setting the readonly property (via Javascript) of the adjacent textbox to my dropdown box when the index value is a certain number.
I tried using MouseUp, MouseDown, and even OnBlur....but the readonly does not seem to be getting set to true or false consistently.
Could this be a timing issue ? The textbox that I am trying to control is the next tab-order control in the list of controls for this page.
This same logic is working fine in the MouseUp event handler for check boxes. So I am just wondering if this is a bug or must my implementation change to accomodate dropdown boxes ? For instance, should I move the logic to the Enter event handler of the textbox instead ? Can a control's own eventhandler set itself to readonly when it is the active form field ?

After tons and tons of testing time, I've come to the conclusion that dropdowns are totally buggy in 11.0.07 release of Acrobat Pro.
Even if you set the "commit values immediately", you get the PRIOR selected item's value as the event value, not the CURRENT one.
This occurs in a Validate event handler script. I have not been able to use any other event handlers for a dropdown except the OnBlur....and then, for my purposes, IT'S TOO LATE !!!
This is totally worthless as I need to setFocus() and set fields to readonly based on the immediate dropdown offset or face value.

How to set initial value for a dropdown box?

Hi,
Within Netweaver 2004S (BI 7.0) we use integrated planning. In one of our applications we want to use a dropdown box (created with the WAD) to make a selection possible for a characteristic.
We set up a pre-query to fill the dropdown box (via data binding CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTION) with the proper values. This works fine.
We pass on the choosen entry (via command SET_VARIABLES_STATE) to a second variable that is used in another query. This command is triggered after the user makes a selection in the dropdown box. Also this works fine. After selection of one entry, the output of the second query is limited.
We have the following problem: the first time a blank selection entry is added to the dropdownbox and that no values are passed on to the second query. Because it seems that the user first must choose an entry.
What we would like to do is that one of the found values of the pre-query is automatically selected in the dropdown box and passed on to the second variable (to limit the second query).
I give you an example:
The first query delivers value A, B, and C for the characteristic of the dropdown box.
The first time the dropdown box showns an empty entry, and three additional entries A, B and C. The second query shows all results, because the second variable doesn't receive any value via the command SET_VARIABLES_STATE. The command is not yet triggered.
When you select A, B or C, the command is triggered and the second query shows only results for the choosen entry (this is correct). Now the empty entry has disappeared from the dropdown box. Only the entries A, B and C are left.
Is it possible to set up the dropdown box on such a way (or add some script coding around it) that in the initial show for the dropdown box one of the entries is choosen automatically, so that the empty line is not part of the value set of the dropdown box and that the command connected to the dropdown box (in our case the SET_VARIABLES_STATE) is carried out automatically?
Please, who can help us with this?
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Marcel.

Hi,
In BW 3.5,say you want to set default for calmonth.
In order to avoid the ALL option from appearing in the dropdown box,
filter infobject 0CALMONTH for DP1 by any valid value.
In the object Data_provider include the lines in Bold:
<object>
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
<param name="NAME" value="DP1"/>
<param name="QUERY" value="WORKSHOP_CALMONTH_DROPDOWN"/>
<param name="INFOCUBE" value="0D_SD_C03"/>
<param name="FILTER_IOBJNM" value="0CALMONTH"/>
<param name="FILTER_VALUE" value="200401"/>
DATA_PROVIDER: DP1
</object>
Hope this helps.

Dropdown boxes do not work on Firefox 5.0.

When using the address bar or any dropdown box on Firefox, the drop down menu flashes but will not stay open so that I can use it. I do not have this issue in IE. I have started Firefox in Safe Mode and the dropdown boxes still did not work.
I can't even use the dropdown box on this form.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Using a dropdown box to change the specified value of a radio button?

I have a form that generates the body text for an email.
First there is a dropdown box in which the choices are either "red" or "blue"
Further down the page, there is a radiobutton list with 2 items "available" and "unavailable".
The specified values for these items (as defined on the binding tab) are "have blue hats" or "do not have blue hats".
This value is concatenated in the email body textfield which is to be copied by the user to an email body:
Concat("Dear", NameField, "," We ", RadioButtonList, " today. ") // Dear Persons Name, We have blue hats today.
Is there any way to change the value of the selected radio button based on the selected dropdown choice?
So if the user selected "red" in the dropdown field, the radio button values could become "have red hats" or "do not have red hats"?
Or perhaps there is a better way from the start?
Thanks!

Ok, so now I've done that...
But is there a way to change that value with another field (ie when a user chooses "red" or "blue" in a dropdown box) so that the concatenated message reflects both the users choice of color and the availibility?
I'm guessing I should probably use an intermediary text box and put
InterText.rawValue = Concat ("We have ', dropdown1, " hats today") in the change event of the available radio button and:
InterText.rawValue = Concat ("We do not have ', dropdown1, " hats today") in the change event of the unavailable radio button.
then concatenate that box in the final textbox.

How to populate a dropdown box based on a selection in another Dropdown box.

I am trying to find out a way to do the following:
I am using coldfusion ....working on a form. The form has
couple of dropdown boxes. Based on the selection on the first
dropdown box another dropdown box needs to get populated with
different options. These options will be coming from a query. I am
trying to find out the Javascript code for doing this.
Thanks in advance.

jchopra,
There's a method to doing what you're wanting to do that I've
used extensively.
Basically, within my code, I start by invoking the method
that returns the data for the dropdown lists. Then, I use the
following code to pour the data returned into a javascript array:
var locArray = new Array(#evaluate(locs.recordcount+1)#);
locArray[0] = new Array('','','','','','','','','',);
<cfloop query="locs">
locArray[#locs.CurrentRow#] = new
Array('#JSStringFormat(locationId)#',
'#JSStringFormat(fkyPolicyId)#',
'#JSStringFormat(locationNumber)#',
'#JSStringFormat(description)#',
'#JSStringFormat(address1)#',
'#JSStringFormat(address2)#',
'#JSStringFormat(zipcode)#',
'#JSStringFormat(city)#',
'#JSStringFormat(state)#';
</cfloop>
Then I wrote a javascript function that is assigned to the
first dropdown's onChange() event. When the user changes the value
that is selected within the dropdown, I use javascript to locate
(using the policyid) the corresponding record in the javascript
array and populate and/or select the appropriate value(s) in the
second dropdown.
If the data returned from the method invocation is too large
to use within a javascript array, you may need to limit the results
that are returned.
Hope this makes sense. If not, please let me know.

Creating calculation based on result of dropdown box

Hi there. I am hoping someone will be kind enough to help me with some Javascript as it seems I am too blonde and middle aged to figure it out by myself.
I have a dropdown box 'Member'. The value for Yes is 0. The value for No is 10.
Then I have three check boxes. 'Day1' value is 35. 'Day2' value is 25. 'Dinner' value is 65.
If Yes is selected, I want the sum of the check boxes if they are checked. (eg, total if all checked = 125)
If No is selected, I want the value of each check box increased by 10. (eg, total if all checked = 155)
I am using Acrobat X.
Thanks in advance.

Because of the fact that you want to add a constant to a number of values if a given condition is meet then you will need to use a custom calculation script.
// get the value of the fields
var cMember = Number(this.getField("Member").value);
var nDay1 = this.getField("Day1").value;
var nDay2 = this.getField("Day2").value;
var nDinner = this.getField("Dinner").value;
// define a varaiable for the sum
var sum = 0;
// day 1 plus adjustement
if (nDay1 != "Off") sum += Number(nDay1) + cMember;
// day 2 plus adjustement
if ( Day2 != "Off") sum += Number(nDay2) + cMember;
// dinner plus adjustement
if (nDinner != "Off") sum += Number(nDinner) + cMember;
event.value = sum;
Excel is only easy if you accept Microsoft's view of calculations.

Dropdown box of Lead application

Hi Guys,
How can I change the dropdown default in the show dropdown box of Lead application from "My Favorites" to "My Leads". Also, if I want to add an extra listing in this dropdown box how do I achieve it.
Thanks in advance,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
You can change the setting per user in "settings" in the search area. You can select the entry which should be shown in. This setting is forper user. If you want to make global change. There some thing called copy global query in crmc_blueprint_c. you should use that.
To create another entry in Show dropdown. Save a query using save button in the search area.&GET dropdown gets its values from the fieldgroup(FG) assigned to the search area. There is rule to display fieds in the get dropdown. It takes all fields in the FG which are visible in the LIST. FIRST field in the FG will be shown as default in the GET DDLB.
For example look at the CRMM_ACCOUNT shows Account ID as default. Because field PARTNER1 is first field the FG ACC_SEARCH_LOG_11 which is inlcude in the FG ACC_SEARCH_04. Move the SORT1 field to position 1 in FG ACC_SEARCH_LOG_11. Now "Sort term 1" will be defaulted in the GET DDLB
Hope this will solve the problem

More than 2 dropdown boxes in the UI Configuration/SRM-MDM Catalogue Search

Hi! We know that there is a limit to the number of drop-down boxes we can define in SRM-MDM UI configuration. However, we really have a need for that as there is no variant configuration in SRM-MDM. In this case, we want to allow user to select the colour (dropdown box) followed by size (dropdown box) in order to get the right items (e.g. shirt) to appear. Because we also need to have another field to be drop-down, we cannot do so due to the limitation.
Has anyone found a solution around this?
Cheers!
