ENTER keystroke on text input entry not always submitting

I have run into a problem where once a user has completed the
text input entry and has clicked the ENTER button to "submit" this
entry, the ENTER keystroke event is not always "submitting" the
input entry. Sometimes it requires hitting the ENTER key two or
three times before the slide moves on.
We are loading the captivate files into a custom flash
interface (but there are no key events in this interface that could
conflict with the captivate's ENTER keystroke) and I have the
maximum number of attempts set to 1.
I did some debugging from the custom flash interface, and in
the captivate .swf, the proper input field has focus and the ENTER
keystroke is being captured
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know a
possible solution?

I’ll try to explain the problem more clearly.
I want the name that is loaded from the textfile into the combobox to be selected from the list.
Once an item is selected everything works just fine. But I don't want the user to select the item, when the name is loaded into the combobox. The user will expect that the item will be selected automatically. Is that possible?
The function I want is the opposite of combobox.selectedItem. Instead of having a selected item and getting the name, I have a name and I want to select the item.
The name is a correct name, because the name is saved from the combobox.

Rendering of Tax Registration Num text input is not work

Hi All,
We are use R12.0.6 instance. On Customer Screen Tax Registration Num and Credit text input are not appear. We checked the personalizations of Tax Registration Num; render is "Yes" but we could not entry the data.
We bounced apache and cleared the cahce.
Thanks,

In CQ you just need to include form component and inside the form add text component. When you double click text component it will provide you with the option to add styling and specify width. Which takes precendence. Not sure why you building the entire html page.

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!

Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.

No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide.

Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need. I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing. Is this a known issue?
Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

Css to style text input does not work

Hi,
I have a very simple form which contains one text field.
<form method="POST" action="">
<table width="100px" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" border=1>
      <tr>
            <td class="label">username</label></td>
      </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><input style="width:50px" type="text" name="username" /></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>
In the real code of course I have a proper style sheet instead of embedding 'style' in the input, but doesn't matter how I tried, the text field sticks to '161px'. I searched for text '161px' in all css files only found it under emulator.css padding, which is of course not used in my case.
I tried in a plain html and the above code works. I know that this input style is defined somewhere in the hirachy which I was not able to override, any idea how to overide CQ's input style?
Thanks!

In CQ you just need to include form component and inside the form add text component. When you double click text component it will provide you with the option to add styling and specify width. Which takes precendence. Not sure why you building the entire html page.

Why when I enter the serial number Adobe, do not always succeed?

by the time I finished typing the serial number, and sign in, it always appears the message "not in the relaunch". What does he mean relaunch?

What exactly are you doing on what product running on what system? You need to be more specific.

I google a topic, then select one. New tab reads something like "search.asp (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels), page is blank. Usually can enter web address to get webpage, not always. What does"GIF Image" message mean? How can I get the tabs to open normally?

Have Firefox 3.6.17 on Windows 7, although right now when I look under Help it says Downloading Firefox 3.6.17 and there's an "in progress" circle.

Thank you, jscher2000, for posting this answer to my question, and I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply.
Yes, it was my security software. I found out that .GIF files are very commonly used for internet graphics, particularly animations and ads. I use Kaspersky Internet Security. I had the anti-banner setting enabled, which stopped the display of .GIF files. I'd rather not see all the ads, but I've found I can very easily disable the anti-banner setting to view a particular page and then enable it again to avoid the ads when I read the news. There aren't that many pages that are entirely made up on .GIF files.
Again, thanks muchly!

PHOTOSHOP 2014 Text input does not give me a live type layer. It gives me a selection of the type outline. Is this a bug?

It isn't 100% of the time, but when I use the Type tool and leave the tool, I am left with a selection of the type outline.
What is going on?

OOPS! Never mind! I had the tool set to outline. Blush!

Missing Text Input In IE7

I have having an issue in IE7 on Vista where some text input
is not accepted. When I start typing, some of the characters do not
show up. I have tested this also in Firefox and it works fine.
I have narrowed the problem down to the HTML wrapper, but
cannot figure out how to fix it. When I go directly to the .swf
file, it works fine, but the HTML wrapper causes this error. Has
anyone else seen this or know how to fix it? Thank you.

I also am having difficulty with certain keys when running
flex in an HTML wrapper, I'm using it in the .Net WebBrowser
control. In that scenario , the up, down, left, right, and enter
keys do not work for Textinput fields. When I run it in IE 7
standalone, I have no problems. When embedded in a WinForm inside
of the WebBroswer control... it doesn't work so well. Not sure what
the deal is.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

Text Entry not waiting for entry before continuing

Captivate 4
I'm trying to add a TEB where the user will need to enter the correct text before moving to the next slide. I would like it to continue as soon as they user types the correct entry. The problem is that the slide doesn't pause to wait for the entry - it continues to the next slide without anything being typed or a click. ??
I have the correct text listed in the 'Correct Entries' box and have it set to 'go to next slide' for 'On success'. Under 'Options', I have it set to 'Validate User Input'. I do not have any hint or caption buttons, and I am not showing a 'submit' button.
Can someone tell me how to get it to pause the training to wait for the user to enter the correct text?
Screen shots below.
Thanks in advance,
D

Hi there
Indeed there is!
You enable the Button in the properties. This will place an associated button next to the field.
What's that you are asking? You don't want a button?
Well, nobody said you actually have to SEE the button! Just double-click the button and its properties will show. Choose Transparent Button and configure it so it's invisible. Then you configure the other "1" for the Button press!
Cheers... Rick

Text input box for displaying notes

How can I use a text input box so delegates can write notes in which then appear on other pages as they work through the course.
Ken

It seems you would be able to do this with user variables, in which you store the content retrieved from the Text Entry Box. Later on (other slides) you can use this content by adding it to a Text Caption. Beware: I'm not sure about the amount of characters that can be stored.

CVP Opsconsole: Patterns for RNA timeout on outbound SIP calls - Dialed Number (DN) text box does not take any input

Hi there,
I'm having problems modifying the 'Dialed Number (DN)' text box under 'Advanced Configuration->Patterns for RNA timeout on outbound SIP calls' of the SIP tab in the Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal 8.5(1) opsconsole. In a nut shell, I need to change the RNA timeout but some reason when typing into the Dialed Number text box, the input is not taken. The reason I want to change this settings is because my ICM Rona is not working with CVP:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Dale,
CVP doesn't allow you to exceed the RNA more than 60 Seconds. If you want to configure the timer for DN Patterns you should do it via OPS console, It would update the sip.properties files in correct way, the above way is incorrect.

How can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?

Hello, all,
how can I enter data in an input schedule on a member in the EPM Add-On that is not a base member?
E.g. I want to implement a top-down-planning scenario and I have the following hierarchy:
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
How can I enter a value on Europe in an input schedule in order to allocate this value afterwards?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Gerd

Gerd,
It should be something like below -
EuropeInput
Europe
     Germany
     France
     UK
     Spain
     Italy
EuropeInput shall be kept out of hierarchy and should be a base level member. Users will enter the numbers in this member. In your script logic, you will make use of this member to allocate the data in Bas(Europe) i.e. Germany, France, etc.
Effectively, after allocation the same data will be rolled up to Europe.
Many top-down planning would use such work-around as BPC doesn't allow writing to parent node.

Ashish

HT204053 How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.
