Experimental Web Keyboards for Special Characters

Since the iPhone's current keyboard has only limited options in terms of characters, I put together a couple of experimental javascript keyboards for accented Latin, Russian, and Greek here
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/we.html
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/r.html
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/g.html
if anyone would like to test them.
Unfortunately they are useless for anything practical until copy/paste is available or someone figures out another way to move the output into Mail or other iPhone apps.

Hi
Please look into
Note 1343806 - Problems with Unicode characters in non-Unicode back-end on service.sap.com.
in a Web Dynpro application, a termination occurs in the back-end if this is not a Unicode system.
Thanks

Checking for Special Characters

I need to check if a textbox in my form containes special characters (entered by user). If there are any, I need to display an error message.
I have written a function but it's not working.
here's my function:
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. The following characters are not allowed: @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Paul,
It is working now. I don't know what I might have changed.
Here's my final function (It works!):
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
var hasSpecialCharacter = false;
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
//app.alert("Value is: " + userInput.charAt(i));
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1)
hasSpecialCharacter = true;
break;
} // end if
} // end For loop
if (hasSpecialCharacter)
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. \n\nThe following characters are not allowed:\n\n @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
else if (!hasSpecialCharacter)
oFiled.fillColor = "255,255,255";

Text edit- Keystrokes for special characters

They've changed the keystroke I use to use for making a checkmark. It was 'Option v'. Now it's not. Is there a chart somewhere showing what teh keystrokes are now for special characters? Thanks so much for any help.
-Thom

Okay, I found this, http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10758?viewlocale=en_US . Which gives me the Edit/Special Characters. But I still do not find any keystrokes to make my checkmark.

Oracle BPM Studio 10g R3 cataloging Web Services strips special characters

Hi folks,
I have a Web Service that I'd like to invoke from an activity in my process.
When I catalog the WSDL, BPM Studio creates the associated External Resource just fine except for one small problem, namely all Simple Types that have 'special characters' in their enumerated String values are stripped clean.
Example 1:
ADSL1
ADSL2
ADSL2+
--> The plus is stripped from ADSL2+, causing BPM Studio to flag two problems caused by duplicate 'ADSL' values
Example 2:
adsl1#foo/123
--> Everything to the left of 123 is stripped leaving only '123' as a value
In fact in the BPM Studio's Editor, the only special character that is allowed is the underscore. Everything else e.g. \ # etc etc cannot be keyed in.
Has anyone come across this before? Thanks for reading :-)
cheers

Keystroke combinations needed for special characters in specific fonts?

How do you see the required keystrokes to enter special characters? Very frustrating!!! Using Pages to help my wife create a brochure. We wanted to use one of the symbols available in the font "Type Embellishments One LET" (which I assume installed with Pages). In Font Book we could see all the possible characters BUT NOT HOW TO TYPE THEM. We ended up typing scores of keys and keystroke combinations to finally see the one we wanted, then use cut and paste. There must be a better way but we (along with some Mac Support people at my work) cannot find it.
Is there a way to do this without buying a program like PopChar. Seems like this should be fundamental to using a Mac out of the box.
Thank you for any suggestions.

You can use "Keyboard Viewer" to see what characters are created with various keystrokes. Open the International Preference Pane, click on the Input Menu tab & click the box next to Keyboard Viewer. This will make this available in your menu bar by clicking the flag icon. Select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the flag menu & you will see a layout of the keyboard. You can then hold down the shift key, the option key OR shift + option to see all the possibilities. The highlighted ones are the accents than you can apply to letters. To get "é" type option-e (nothing will appear), then type e. This accent could be place over most letters. You can change the font in the drop-down menu. Not all fonts will have all characters. Keyboard Viewer places the typing directly into the top, open document.

Keyboard binding special characters

I'm a new Mac/pages user and I'd like to be able to keyboard bind several special characters I use for my legal notes (π, §, Δ) through a command + p, s, d or something similar. It was fairly easy to do so in Office, but I can't seem to get it to work in pages. Pull downs work fine but I'm looking to streamline and the number of time I use, at least, those symbols will slow down productivity. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Consider yourself lucky.
France and the EU have intelligently not signed a "Free Trade" agreement with the USA unlike Australia and Canada.
We both got screwed. Big time. Our products are still largely discriminated against and the USA gets protection for excessively long IR, and gets free access to our markets, which it then controls to over charge.
They were whooping with joy in the US Senate when the bills got passed, until they realised we were probably watching, when they put on a straight faced earnest "this will be good for both countries" spin.
Imports from the States have more than doubled whilst our exports to the States have declined. Most of our agricultural and primary exports are still banned from the States under the so called "Free Trade" agreement.
The only satisfaction I have is that the government that signed it was thrown out of power in the previous election. But the damage is done.

Bug in APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT for special characters?

Hi,
I am using APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT to download reports from BI-Publisher. But with special characters, and only if the filename is to long, the filename is in Firefox 10.0.2 not correct. In IE9 its running fine. I am not sure if its only a browser-problem or a problem with APEX.
Here is the code:
declare
    v_filename varchar2(1000);
begin
    v_filename := 'Umlaut ü 123456789012345678901234567890123';
    APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT (p_file_name => v_filename,
                                       p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
                                       p_application_id      => :APP_ID,
                                       p_report_query_name   => 'Checkliste',
                                       p_report_layout_name => 'Checkliste',
                                       p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
                                       p_document_format     => 'pdf');
end;With
Umlaut ü 123456789012345678901234567890123its working and I get a file named "Umlaut ü 123456789012345678901234567890123.pdf".
But with
Umlaut ü 1234567890123456789012345678901234(one character longer) its not working and I get a file named "=_utf-8_B_VW1sYXV0IMO8IDEyMzQ1Njc4OTAxMjM0NTY3ODkwMTIzNDU2Nzg5MDEyMzQucGRm".
If I change the ü to ue I have no problems, even with much longer filenames.
Very strange, isnt it?
Any ideas for this?
Kind Regadrs,
Mark

Hi,
it does not work all fine with the IE. The following is not working both browser (firefox and IE):

                                       p_report_layout_name => 'AnlagenCheckliste',
                                       p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
                                       p_document_format     => 'pdf');The filename is then "Objektpruefung 02..pdf".
Can anybody help me?

JSP diplays shows junk for special characters.

JSP Gurus,
After upgrading the JRE version of my Tomcat from 1.3.1 to 1.4, all the JSP files have started displaying junk characters for the special characters (like ?, ?). These characters are being pulled from database. If I replace these characters with their ascii values, it works fine but there was no problem with the JRE 1.3.1. I have alot of data with these characters in the datbase. What is the easiest way to display these characters with JRE 1.4.
Thanks,

Dynamic insert for Special Characters

Hello,
I'm running into a problem inserting data with Special Characters. I have a report (designed oracle reports), that takes data and inserts the data into table. I use the SRW.do_sql built in package in a before report trigger to process the data. However the problem that I'm running into is how to dynamically account for the special characters in a description field that I have. There is no way for me to predict where or how many can appear in a field. For example, I may have a field that contains data like:
O'REILLY AND ASSOCIATES INC.
OR
FULLER & D'ALBERT, INC.
OR
JOANNE'S BED & BACK SHOP
The only special characters that seem to be used and are causing me problems are the " ' " and " & ".
Does anyone know how I can dynamically account for these special characters in my insert statement?
Thanks,
Martin

Hello,
I'm using SRW.DO_SQL procedure in oracle reports because that is one you can run text via reports. The report actually exports the results to a text file and insert the results into a table. Anyway, the SRW.DO_SQL isn't my problem but rather the special characters. I have researched the problem some more and I have found a solution. You can use the "replace" feature to do an insert/update of special characters. You also need to find the character number for each special character. I believe "&" is chr(38), "%" is chr(37), "#" is chr(35), "@" is chr(64), "'" is char(39). So the code would be:
insert into tableA (column1) values(
replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(v_entity_name,chr(39),chr(39)),chr(38),chr(38)),chr(35),chr(35)),chr(37),chr(37)),chr(64),chr(64));

Creating hotkeys for special characters in textedit

Hello,
I'm trying to type my maths HW on my mac on textedit or word 2008. I'm trying to type the Z (integer symbol). Now I have found that in Special Characters in textedit but I cannot add a hot key to it for frequent use. In word 2008 I didn't find it, although I could paste it from textedit. What's the way out?

New-MailboxSearch with AQS for special characters

I've been asked to perform a specific query for a term with a leading dollar sign ('$'): $123,123.00. When I run the query for a leading dollar sign the keyword search term in the result appears as:
Body:',123.00'
It doesn't work if I use a backslash literal with the dollar sign either. The result in the report is:
Body:' \,123.00 '
Searching for Body:'123,123.00$' works:
Body:'123,123.00$'
How do I search for leading special characters? Would '*123,123.00*" find the string I am looking for?

Hi,
I have some tests in my lab:
1. When I run the following cmdlet, it works. I recommend you run the following cmdlet to achieve your search.
New-MailboxSearch -Name "1" -TargetMailbox
[email protected] -SearchQuery "$ 123,123.00"
2. When the SearchQuery is "\123,123.00", it also works.
3. When the SearchQuery is "*123,123.00*", it occurs the error below: Suffix matching isn't supported. Please remove the prefix '*' or type another query. The '*' character is not supported for search.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy
