Dynamic lists that refresh automatically-advice needed

I have an insert form with a menu/list box that draws from my main table records. Right now we have over 11,000 records but I created a table that filters it down to about half that.
What I want to do, is make it so that as the visitor to the site who is going to add a record when they get to this box and start typing in the name, it begins filtering that list further.
For example, the field is for the sire of a dog record being added. As they type in 'brook' it would filter to all the sire names in the list that start with 'brook'.
I have been reading about 'spry'. Is this the best option? What would be the best features to start trying?
Thanks for your help!
PS if you don't understand what I am asking, there is a sample on my website fortheloveoflabradors dot com, click for the pedigree database, login as guest then try it in the search box on the list.

Hi Mary,
For example, the field is for the sire of a dog record being added. As they type in 'brook' it would filter to all the sire names in the list that start with 'brook'.
that´s definitely something which requires AJAX functionality anyway, and SPRY also comes with an "Auto Suggest" Widget, example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/autosuggest/SuggestSample.html
Didn´t try this yet, but it should be possible to add this functionality to a regular ADDT form -- however, there´s also ADDT´s "Autocomplete Text Field" behaviour available, which does the same and is - hehind the scenes - based on similar AJAX functionality as well

  • External (dynamic) IP not refreshed automatically?

    Hi all. Is WRT54G (v.6) supposed to refresh the external IP every time my ISP's DHCP changes it?
    My ISP (Rogers, Canada) started changing IP-s daily, it's become really annoying that I have to refresh the IP manually on the router every day. I have the latest firmware 1.0.0.9
    Thanks!

    If you are not on XP and you did not install the activex components on the computer that the tool is running on, it will say that error, can you try adjusting the MTU to 1492, 1400, 1300 or 576 and check which one would hold your connection? Your IP should change automatically and the Internet information also should be automatically obtained by your computers (as with the changes in the router), try that first and check if it still disconnects you.

  • Lov need to be refreshed automatically

    Dear All,
    I have report with 7 prompts (3 are optional) . Whenever we refresh the report all the prompts are displayed. Now requirement is when we click on any of the prompt in view mode, LOV list with updated Values need to be populated for the selected prompt.
    I tried using "Automatic refresh before use" option still its not refreshing automatically after selecting any prompt. We still have to refresh the LOV list manually.
    Can we do something for auto population of LOV?
    I am working on BOXI 3.1, WEBI
    Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saurabh
    We had the same issue in our universes. I found that when the prompt has default value, LoV is not refreshed automatically even with "automatic refresh" option for the LoV...
    For example, in our case we used such condition objects to allow selection all companies by entering asterisk:
    @Select(Company\Company No.)
        IN @Prompt('Company Numbers:','A','Company\Company No.',multi,free,,{'*'})
    or
    '*' IN @Prompt('Company Numbers:','A','Company\Company No.',multi,free,,{'*'})
    List of values is not refreshed automatically with asterisk as default parameter. Without default value, it is working fine:
    @Select(Company\Company No.)
        IN @Prompt('Company Numbers:','A','Company\Company No.',multi,free)
    or
    '*' IN @Prompt('Company Numbers:','A','Company\Company No.',multi,free)

    Hi,
    iChat,  at least to iChat 6 had this set of Smileys
    They had variations of each set of keystrokes (namely whether the dash for the nose was needed)
    They were controlled by a .plist that listed all of them.  (I cannot remember if it was inside the App package or in the IMAgent.app package)
    However this .plist no longer exists in the current app.
    Where they match the ones for posting here:-
    they will have the same keystrokes.
    Obviously some don't match.

  • Dynamic List filter not refreshing - suggestions?

    Dynamic list filtering problems...
    Any suggestions for how to begin trouble shooting this ussue?
    (Apache, MySql, php) I have to click multiple times on the column header for a sort to occur and the filter text field drops any entered value when you click the filter button. If you click on the specific filtered column header later, the filter value re-appears and filtering occurs.
    The dynamic lists I have been testing are created with the list wizard, with no modifications to any settings, made from recordset or straight from data table. In either case the lists and filtering work with one click in my testing server (same setup) but have these oddities if in the production server.
    Any suggestions of what to look for to get it working in the production server for my client...filtering would be wonderful for them!
    Thank you anyone for suggestions,
    Steve

    Thanks Günter Schenk for the reply however...
    So you can see what's happening I created a seperate mysql database with one table and four fields. ID, date, and 2 varchar 50. I then created a dynamic list and form, both made without any hand coding using the wizards.
    I made sure all relavent files from the includes folder are up-to-date with 1.0.0 version files.
    You are welcome to go to http://www.sunkistkids.org/mmtest/listtest.php to test this.
    Also you will find info.php in the root directory of the site just in case you spot any part of the general configuration that might be causing this.
    Any further suggestions are very welcome and will be implemented quickly so I can make the filter feature work for the client.
    Thank you very much for your time,
    Steve

  • Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

    Here is the theoretical scenario,
    I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
    I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
    These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
    On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
    The list looks something like this is dataview:
    Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
    This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
    I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
    How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
    If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?
    fr0stsp1re

    create additional columns in people list.  look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need.  this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
     just a thought.

  • How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull a dynamic image from a URL to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

    How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull an image from a URL (which is dynamically updated - like a weather map, say - to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

    Any particular reason for those specific technologies?  wget does not exist on a mac, although you can nstall it I guess.  OS X has curl installed which should do pretty much anything you want to do with wget.  cron is being replaced by launchd, although cron still exists on mountain lion.
    As far as I can tell from automator all the standard 'actions' to access keynote  available to it require keynote to be open and running, but does not provide a function to actually open it.  So I think you will have to write some applescript, as a minimum to open and quit keynote. I notice that the keynote actions are mostly circa 2005 an wonder if they would even work.
    Under utilities in automator 'actions' there is a capability to add applescripts as part of the workflow.
    Also, note that cron is being dprecated by Apple and replaced by launchd.  that said cron is stil on my mountain lion instalation.
    This entry at stackoverflow shows use of cron with curl to get web urls.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683620/getting-started-with-cronjobs-on-a-ma c
    If I have any time I may try and get this to work as it is quite interesting and new to me.  But otherwise, good luck.

  • BPM composer getting refreshed automatically at regular intervals

    Hi,
    We have installed SOA Suite 11.1.1.6. While working on BPM composer, the window gets refreshed automatically after regular intervals and the entire work gets lost.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    > and the tcode for the lock is KRNL. and we dont have any other information regarding this.
    You mention that this is the account of an employee, so I assume a Dialog type user ID.
    Sounds to me like a script somewhere with this user ID in it for the connection to the system. Could be anywhere... theoretically also on a PC.
    Contact the user and ask them whether they saved their pwd anywhere.
    Also activate the SM20 dynamic filters to find the terminal for all types of events (also not critical) before the next pwd lock of the user (128).
    If you find that the terminal is an application server of your own system, then you will need to check your jobs again in more detail and in extreme cases even transport imports.
    Cheers,

  • Showing filter in dynamic list by default

    I have a form using the ADDT dynamic list behaviour. What I'd like to do is show the filter items automatically when that form opens rather than have the user click on the Filter button.
    Does anyone know how to do that?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Capturing data from a dynamic table that span multiple pages

    I created a PDF form that contained a dynamic table that can span across multiple pages. Additional rows in the table can be created by the person filling the form as and when needed.
    The PDF form is distributed to the receipient using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    However, when the form is "Submitted" back to the originator of the form, only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file. All the other rows are left out.
    I would be grateful if anyone can advise me as to how do I or what shall I do to get all the data in all the rows in the table into the Response File?
    Thank you.

  • Mac security and maintenance advice needed.

    can someone please advice me how to keep my mac secured and well maintained. i mean the macbook hardware as well as software.
    any antispyware or antivirus i should get for mac? would u recommend one? and which one? also suggest me some free alternatives.
    on pcs putting realtime scanners would slow down the system. i hope thats not the case in mac.
    also, any maintenance software like a defragmenter? i have been told macs dont need a defrag program. recently a whole lot of permissions went bad when i did a 'verify permissions' check.
    also, can someone tell me how often one should calibrate the battery?

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that presently AppleJack is not compatible with Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

    Do You Need Anti-Virus Protection for Your Mac?
    According to Rich Mogull's article, Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software?,
    "The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
    It's not that Mac OS X is inherently more secure against viruses than current versions of Windows (although it was clearly more secure than Windows prior to XP SP2); the numerous vulnerabilities reported and patched in recent years are just as exploitable as their Windows equivalents. But most security experts agree that malicious software these days is driven by financial incentives, and it's far more profitable to target the most dominant platform."
    Mr. Mogull is a computer security expert. I recommend reading the entire article as it is quite informative.

    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    would keeping the charger plugged in extend battery life?
    It will neither hurt nor improve battery life. The life of the battery is determined by the number of full charge cycles - about 500 is the average life. If you use the computer mostly in a location with access to an AC outlet then you should use the AC adapter rather than run on the battery.

  • 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".
