Expanding text in an auto-sized popup window can cause the text to overflow

First Topic includes a popup link. This includes rather long expanding text. When this is activated, the popup is too small to show everything, and has no scrolling possibility. Anyone know a workaround?
I tried to report this as a bug through the Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form, but it vanished into thin air and I can't check whether it was recorded or not...

Instead of an autosizing popup you could define a size that allows for the expansion or add some blank lines at the end of the popup topic, on opening there will be white space at the end but it provides expansion space. The latter will not work where the popup topics are long enough to invoke scroll bars.

  • Robohelp 9 auto-sizing popup problems

    In roboHelp 9 HTML, is there a way to reduce the bottom margin of auto-sizing popups when generating webhelp?  Is there a way to limit the width, other than custom-sizing these popups?  Things that looked ok when generated by robohelp 7 look a bit 'fat' in robohelp 9.  It seems as if the more &nbsp 's there are in a paragraph, the wider the popup displays.

    Hi,
    Is anyone continuing to monitor this issue, because it's still happening to me now (my pop-up windows appear at bottom right corner and they disappear when I scroll to them, the auto-sizing pop-ups have scroll controls that appear off the page). In addition, I have the added problems of my DHTML links for SOME links (I have an underline effect when users mouseover a link). The problem is evident even BEFORE I generate the WebHelp, when I use RH8's "View Selected Item" feature (Ctrl+W). An Internet Explorer Script Error window appears with the following message:
    An error has occurred on this page
    Line: 2858
    Char: 3
    Error: 'style.pixelLeft' is null or not an object
    Code: 0
    URL: file:///C:/.../.../.../ehlpdhtm.js
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? (Yes/No)
    (Sorry, I could not attach the image to show you the window, so I just typed it out).
    A similar message appears in my generated WebHelp (at the bottom of the IE window, it indicates that the file has some errors, when I click on it, it's the same ehlpdhtm.js error message).
    I used Praful_Jain's latest ehlpdhtm.js file without any positive results. I just don't know what else to do. Are there any new developments/solutions/updates to fix this issue?
    Using:
    RH8.0.2, Windows XP, brand new project using the same stylesheet that worked fine with RH7. Generating WebHelp, not CHM, althogugh the problem appears before I even generate.
    Thanks so much!!

  • Close popup window and refresh the parent window

    Hello,
    I have a button in a normal report, when clicked opens up an popup window which is a form containing some items and here in this form (i have some editable text items) I make some changes and click on the apply changes button -- this should update the form, close the popup window and should refresh the parent window.
    can anyone please help me out with this issue.
    Thanks,
    Orton

    you have your popup window. When they apply the changes you want it to close the window, right?
    Modify the button (save, apply changes) and give it url redirect to the custom function you create (See below): javascript:saveChanges();
    in the page header, add a new function:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function saveChanges(){
         doSubmit('SAVE');//this is the line to save the current form on the popup window. (This assumes SAVE is the request value that should udpate the db)
         window.close();//close the popup window
         window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');//call doSubmit function on the parent window to cause the page to refresh.
    </script>

    $('#pop1').find('.tab-content-people').html($(this).closest('.emp-card').find('.pop-content').html());
    $('#pop1').show();
    return false;

    I believe the issue is that you are not actually searching against the result source you made in step #1.
    It's not enough to make a result source, you have to tell the search results web part to use it.
    Try this:
    1. Go to the Pages library of Search Center
    2. Create a new Search Results page
    3. Edit the page, then edit the search results web part
    4. Change the source for the search results web part to your source
    5. Add the page to your Search Center navigation
    6. Run the search on that page

  • Passing Value from a Popup Window Back to the Parent Window

    I am using JSF. I try to pass a value that is entered by users in the popup window back to a text field in the parent window.
    quote: document.forms[ ].elements[ ] is null or not an object.
    The relevant code snippets are shown below. The screen1.jsp is the parent window:
             <script language="JavaScript1.1">
               function doPopup(source)
                    popup = window.open("externalFilePopup.jsp",
                        "popup",
                         "height=300,width=200,toolbar=no,menubar=no,"                    + "scrollbars=yes");
                    popup.openerFormId = source.form.id;
                    popup.focus();
               </script>
    <h:outputText value="Enter the external system file name"/>        <h:inputText value="#{dataManagementBean.ip}" size="18" />
    <h:commandButton value="..." onclick="doPopup(this); return false;" />
    ..........The externalFilePopup.jsp is the popup window:
            <script language="JavaScript1.1">
                function doSave( value )
                   var formId = window.openerFormId;
                   opener.document.forms[ formId ].elements[ formId + ":ip" ].value = value;
                   window.close();
            </script>
         <h:outputText value="IP Address: "/>
         <h:inputText size="25" value="#{dataManagementBean.ip }" required="true"/>
         <h:commandButton value="OK" onclick="doSave('#{dataManagementBean.ip}');"/>
            .......... The script error occurs when I click on this OK button.
    Please point out the mistakes in my code. Thank you.

    I have made some modifications to the code in the popup window. The error reported in my previous posting is gone. But, I still have several problems:
    1. syntax error in the popup window jsp page: line 45, char 21, syntax error, ..., Do you want to continue running script on this page?2. The popup window does not close after I click on the OK button that I coded in the popup window jsp.
    3. The value that I entered in the popup window eventually gets passed back to the text field in the parent window only if I re-run the application.
    The relevant JavaScript code snippets are:
            <script language="JavaScript1.1">
                function doSave( value )
                   var formId = window.openerFormId;
                   opener.document.forms[ formId ].form[ formId + ":ip" ].value = value;
                   window.close();
            </script>
                                       <h:outputText value="IP Address: "/>
         <h:inputText size="25" id="ip" value="#{dataManagementBean.ip }" required="true"/>
         <h:commandButton value="OK" onclick="doSave('ip'); return=false;"/>
    ......What are the mistakes that I made?

  • How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable.  How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    Hi Alan,
    TextField objects can expand dynamically.  There are a few things that you need to do:
    1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed.  This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
    2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
    3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
    4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form.  If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Auto sizing popup feature not working in Firefox

    I have started using Firefox as my default browser
    instead of IE. I just discovered that the popup windows, which I've
    linked from an image map on one particular document do not work. In
    the following doc, the image has about 35 links to popup windows,
    none of which work in Firefox. They do work in IE.
    http://www.stoneedge.com/help/Main_Menu_5.8_Beta.htm
    Is this a known issue? I couldn't find reference to it on the
    forum, so then I wonder if its a matter of settings. I turned of
    Firefox's popup blocker, so that's not it. I do prefer to use the
    popup, but if there's no fix, the "Display in Frame" option DOES
    work in Firefox, so I'll just have to use that instead.
    Any information, fixes, suggestions are much appreciated!
    Thanks,
