Filtering responses in different text fields from different radio buttons.

Once again I need some guidance with my form please.
I have a form (audit report) with numerous radio buttons with 4 options each, NA, CN, PC and C.
Each represents a different answer to the question associated with the radio button.
This answer this then passes through to a text field next to the radio buttons.
In turn at the beginning of my form I have an executive brief giving a run down on findings from the different questions asked. These are a reflection of the text fields associated with the radio buttons.
These are represented as 2 text fields namely, Non-compliant (NC), partial – compliant (PC).
What I am getting now is a whole lot of “null” answers that change when one of the radio buttons are selected and reflects that answer associated with the selection, both NC and PC text fields are the same and I then have to edit it and delete the PC from the NC section and the same for the PC section.
What I would like to happen is that all the “nulls” are hidden and only when the answer representing the NC or PC buttons are selected, that those answer get represented through to the Non-compliant (NC), partial- compliant (PC) text fields in my executive brief. IE some sort of filter for each text filed that only displays the NC or PC answers.
Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

I will explain this through an example.
In my application I have created two Select Lists.
The first select list is a select list with a submit
P3_X allows selection of 1,2,3
The page branch sets the value of P3_X with &P3_X. so that way the second select list knows what value it will be using.
The second select list P3_Y is a dynamic query that says
Select SCOL d, SCOL r from TEST1 where FCOL=:P3_X
If you were to have a third select list you would make the second Select List also a submit and have the page branch also set P3_Y with &P3_Y.
The third Select list would say select from where item=:P3_Y
Does this answer your question?

This method works for a Text Field but can you text wrap and expand to fit the height of a cell that is a Drop-down List. The Expand to fit check box on the Layout palette is greyed out for all my Drop-down boxes. I have also tried using the following JavaScript:
var newHeight = xfa.layout.h(DropDownList, "in");
Textbox.h = newHeight + "in";
but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

Remove text field from Array via for loop

Hi,
i have a problem to remove text fields added via for loop.
That im doing is, via for loop im dynamically creating menu with 10 buttons.
Each button contain, dynamically created, background (shape) and text field.
And everything is fine.
But when im try to remove text fields then i got this error:
- Im using button to remove text fields - lang_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
          at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()

In the script bellow marked with red is what should remove text fields from an Array, instead giving me error.
Here is my script
// Create for loop

          btCount++;

it looks like those tf's are children of lmButtonsMCArray[i], not the current scope. use:
if (footer.lang_btn.langState == "EG")
                                        for (var rNr_us:Number = 0; rNr_us < pushUsTFintoArray.length; rNr_us++)

                                    lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_us].removeChild(pushUsTFintoArray[rNr_us]);
                                        //clear the array
                                        pushUsTFintoArray = [];
                              else
                                        for (var rNr_eg:Number = 0; rNr_eg < pushEgTFintoArray.length; rNr_eg++)
                                                  //remove the text field array from the display
                                    lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_eg].removeChild(pushEgTFintoArray[rNr_eg]);
                                        //clear the array

Populating Multirecord text fields from Tlists value's combinations

I have a UI wherein there are two T lists, one on the Left and other on the Right. The left one contains
From values and the Right one contains To values. There's one Button which when Pressed should populate
a Data Block which has multi record text fields just below the button with all the possible combinations of
the T lists elements. The Text fields have the values From, To, Time, Unit. When populated From and Two will
get the values from the combinations and the user will enter the values in other fields i.e. Time and Unit,
Then the user can save the Records.
e.g. If the Left T list contains Red, Blue and the Right T List contains Green, Black. Then on pressing
the button below the T lists, the text fields From and Two of a data block displayed in the same window
should get populated with all the possible combinations as:
From || To || Unit || Time
Red Green
Red Black
Blue Green
Blue Black
Now the user can enter the values for Unit as well as Time and when he does save the Records should be inserted
for the Data Blocks DML Source that's some table.
What I'm trying is:
On pressing the Button i'm writing code that will have Two PL/SQL Tables(Index by binary_integer). One will have
all the values of the left T List and the other with all the values of right T List.
I do it as in the WHEN BUTTON PRESSED as:
DECLARE
TYPE varchar_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
from varchar_table;
to varchar_table;
v_count1 NUMBER;
v_count2 NUMBER;
v_count3 NUMBER;
v_count4 NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_count1 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count1 LOOP
          from(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
v_count2 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.TO_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count2 LOOP
          to(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.TO_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
END;
Now how will I populate the text fields with the values in the tables that i got with the piece of code above.
Any help would be appreciated. Any other method other than the one i'm trying is also welcome. Please note that
i'm not using any table to store the elements in the T Lists. The lists get values at runtime by
user's selection.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Try and stay civil in your postings. The solotion should be to simply issue a GO_BLOCK, followed by a CREATE_RECORD followed by setting the approriate values :block.value = <value from list>

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

Using jsp to read a input from a radio button

i am trying read a input from a radio button ,normly if the name of radio button is "priority" and if u referrence it as request.getParameter("priority") it shld work right but mine does not.
<% rs = stmt.executeQuery("select PRIORITYNAME,PRIORITYDESC from TBL_PRIORITY ");
<td>Priority</td>
<% while(rs.next())
%>
<input name="priority" type="radio"><% out.println(rs.getString(1)); %><% out.println(rs.getString(2)); %><br>
<%
%>
is it bcs i am using a loop !! bcs am populating the radio fields from a database

i am trying read a input from a radio button ,normly
if the name of radio button is "priority" and if u
referrence it as request.getParameter("priority") it
shld work right but mine does not.
A couple of things not necessarily addressing your problem, but still..
Avoid too much Java code in the JSP. Use existing tags or write new custom tags to do the task.
Avoid database access form the JSP itself, if possible.
<% rs = stmt.executeQuery("select
PRIORITYNAME,PRIORITYDESC from TBL_PRIORITY ");
<td>Priority</td>
<% while(rs.next())
%>
<input name="priority" type="radio"><%
out.println(rs.getString(1)); %><%
out.println(rs.getString(2)); %><br>
<%
%>
I'm not quite sure what are you trying to do with the above. You want the labels of the radio buttons to be obtained from the database as well as their values, is it?
Does PRIORITYNAME correspond to the value of the radio button and PRIORITYDESC correspond to the label of the radio button?
If that's the case, I think you need to do it as follows:

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.

>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

Populate Text fields from Select List

I have a select list when selected should populate two text fields with values based on SQL Query
Eg. The select list is for empno and populates ename and sal in two different text fields.
I have looked at Denes' example http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:42 It is very good but the only problem I am facing is how to populate more than one fields.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
That would depend on where the SAL data is. If it's on your page, then you could probably do something with javascript. If not, you would have to do some Ajax to retrieve the value from the database. Have a look at: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:80
Your select list could include both the ENAME and SAL values and your existing javascript would then just split the data into two parts and insert them into the appropriate fields.

Populating Text Field from Multi Checkboxes

Need help with formula. Not sure whether or not I should be using FormCalc or Javascript as I am not extremely familiar with either. I have a form that has three checkboxes (Box1, Box2, & Box3) that need to auto populate a text field (EmpAck). I have tried three different ways to get this done and none are working for me. What I need to happen is if "Box1" is checked "Text1" is inserted in "EmpAck" field and if "Box2" is checked "Text2" is instered & so on. The texts are never the same and never added together. I have set "EmpAck" to be read only, allowing multiple lines, and have the "Expand to fit box marked as the texts' are different lengths. Any help would be great.
1. // This would go in the Textfield under calulate using FormCalc
if (Box1 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text1"
elseif (Box2 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text2"
elseif (Box3 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text3"
endif
2. //This would go in the checkbox "Box1" changing "Text1" to "Text2" or "Text3" as required under mouseup using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/2489082#2489082)
if (this.rawValue == 1)
{EmpAck.rawValue = "Text1";}
else {EmpAck.raqValue = " ";}
3.//This would go in textfield under calcuate using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/4108395#4108395)
var a =" "
if (this.getField(Box1).value == "Yes")
{a="Text1"}
if (this.getField(Box2).value == "Yes")
{a="Text2"}
if (this.getField(Box3).value == "Yes")
{a="Text3"}
event.value=a

Found my problem. Was using different subforms without including in the formula.

Populating text fields from dynamic select

I have been searching the net for a javascript/ajax solution
that will populate a number of text fields based on the selection
from a dynamic select field. Specifically, when the person selects
a company name, the companies address and phone number gets pulled
from a second recordset that gets filtered by the choice from the
dropdown. This needs to be done without postback.
The page is built using php/mysql and the select is populated
by one of the recordsets.
Any direct help or steering to a solution would be
appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
Right now I'm starting with a blank form and once I get my head wrapped around this then I was going to modify what is already in use.
I'm attaching my scheme and xml file.
Thanks!

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Quick qn on displaying text fields from region.

My doubt is that i have a page where
there are 2 Regions..top and bottom Regions
we can enter a person's details on the bottom region and hit submit..then that person get stored in the database and visible on the top region
i have a situation where i need to grab these people from the top region and display in side email message
my text field in the bottom region is not constant..so i am not able to capture them..
Its like this:
TOP REGION:
tommy lee Male address 1
kanan jones Male address 1
babu lee Male address 1
Note: Sometimes there may be only one person..sometimes more than 1 like 2 or 3
Bottom Region:
text fields to enter (we can enter for only one at a time)
..I am able to grab it from the table in the DBase..But how can i get it to the email message..
Appreciate your help
thanks

You can select the entire field and use the cold fusion left
function. However, it would be more efficient to simply select
select the 1st 20 characters in your query. How you do this depends
on the db you are using.

Autofill form text fields from database

I have made a form in asp code with text fields. Behind this page is a database (access).
This database contains static information and does not need to be updated. It is only for output.
In this form, there are some text fields to be filled in.
Reference
First name
Last name
E-mail address
Telephone number
This information is in the database.
What I try to do is that when the first text field "Reference" is filled, the related information is selected from the database and automatically put in the other corresponding text fields.
Anybody any idea how to do this?

I don't use ASP, but the simple way to approach this problem is to have two pages. The first page contains a form with a text field for Reference and a submit button. Set the form's method to GET, and the action to the page that contains the full form.
In the page that contains the full form, create a recordset to select the details from the database, using the URL parameter for Reference as a filter. You can then bind the results from the recordset to the value attributes of the remaining form fields.

PHP/MySQL: 'Add New' text field from menu in form

I am creating an events posting website. I'm having a hard time finding the right words to describe this, but: I'd like the user to select a venue from the drop menu, but then if it isn't there, to select 'add new' from the dynamic menu, and have a new text field activate where they can enter in the new venue name. My database is currently set up so the event table links to the venue table through a venueID. Is there a way to insert the name from the new text field into the venue table, and have the rest of the form still submit to the event table? Sorry this is so wordy, but I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You cannot add a new value to a related table at the same time as inserting a record. So, to do this, you would need to use both JavaScript to add the new text field, and PHP conditional logic to handle the update to both tables. It's certainly doable, but not with the Dreamweaver server behaviors. You would need to do a lot of hand-coding yourself.
The way that I approached a similar problem in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4" was to permit NULL values in the column that holds the foreign key, and insert nothing into that field if the value hadn't already been registered in the related table. I created a static value in the dynamic menu for "Not registered".
After inserting the new record with "not registered", the user then needs to enter the new value in the related table.
Once that has been done, display a page that lists all records. In the SQL, I use a LEFT JOIN to ensure that "not registered" items come up as well. You can then edit the item to add the value from the dynamic menu.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works if you don't have the skill or time to hand-code all the logic yourself.
