Form CheckBox
Hi,
Norrmally in a form, if a checkBox is checked then the value is true, else false.
I have a form, with 30 checkboxes and all should be checked and when they are uncheckd the value should be 'true'.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
You can use Expansion rules in this CheckBox fields to transform the value from "true" to "false" and propagate them to the mapped attribute.
Regards,

Change template for Form Checkbox Item?
I would like to remove the <label> tag from the template for Form Checkbox items and replace this in the list with my own label tag
E.g. something like this
select '<label onmouseover...>'||reference||'</label>', table_id r
from tabel
order by 1
Is this possible?
Thanks & regards
Edited by: rw on May 3, 2012 6:10 AMCheckbox is <input> HTML tag with type="checkbox"
The Label that wraps this Input is generated by Apex while rendering and stores important information.
It is not advisable to play with that area even if someone gives you a technically feasible solution like "use a jquery selector to change the tags" in onload event,etc.
Please find a more elegant solution to your problem.
E.g. look at APEX_ITEM API

Contact form-checkbox PHP coding doesnt work
I am a beginner to web page design so i would be grateful if you can explain to me what PHP coding i would need for 'Checkbox' and where to place it in the PHP coding below. I can submit the form to my email with all the headings and the filled in forms with checkbox Yes or No.
Only problem i have is that part of the check box info appear right at the top of the email message rather than the 'Name', 'Tel', 'Email' etc..Another half of the checkbox appear where it suppose to be wih double heading as shown below. I would also like to remove the <br> from the email message. Can you also tell me how to change the colour for heading so its clear.
I have marked the checkbox code in BLUE for both HTML and PHP coding below. Sorry for the long coding. Look forward to hearing from someone. Much appreciated.

</html>Dear David
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. I have been using Lynda.com Dreamweaver CS5 tutorial. I found the coding for checkbox through search and added to the coding from Lynda.com tutorial.
I made few changes to the coding by removing:
$msg = "$rearExt<br>\r\n$sideExt<br>\r\n$twoStoreyRear<br>\r\n
$twoStoreySide<br>\r\n$loft<br>\r\n$newBuild<br>\r\n$flat<br>\r\n$other\r\n";
as the email message shows the results from the checkbox twice.
I also removed the <br> from:
$body = "Name: $name<br>\r\n
Email: $email<br>\r\n
Contact No: $contact_number<br>\r\n
Other: $other\r\n
Message:\r\n
$message";
I have add the result and the PHP coding you have helped to fixed for anyone needing a working PHP code containing Text Fields, Drop Down List, Checkbox and Text Area. Many thanks for all your help. If you have a coding to change the heading text colour I very much appericate it.

How do I use the form checkbox value?
I'm creating a form that has multiple checkboxes. I want to
use ActionScript to update a text box/area with the values each
checkbox as the checkbox is selected. Any ideas on how I might do
that?
SAMPLE CODE ATTACHED.I figured out how to do it using both the last poster's
comments, and some others that I found.
A form is created using cfform format=flash.
A cfinput text box is created and flagged as not visible.
The "invisible" input value is set after a cfoutput
query="xxxx"
is completed.
Since I'm using the query to do double duty, I have a group
set.
My "second" group is the one on which I wanted the check
boxes to
be created dynamically.
I set a counter, and kept track of when a check box was
created.
The value of the counter was eventually set as the value of
my
first "invisible" text box.
Here's the code:
<cfformgroup type="horizontal" height="1" visible="no">
<cfif #BoxCount# GT 0>
<cfoutput><cfinput name="BoxQty" type="text"
value="#BoxCount#" visible="no" size="3"></cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfformgroup>
Each check box was given a unique name, text + counter.
ex. camp#BoxCount#
A corresponding "invisible" text box was created:
ex. cost#BoxCount#
This way I can test if the check box "value" is true/false,
and
set a cost accumulator to the proper cost.
My cfsavecontent code looks like this:
// COST TOTAL
var a = Number(BoxQty.text);
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
var u = 0;
var x = 0;
var s = "";
for( i=1; i<=a; i++ )
r = "camp"+i;
if( eval(r).value ) // just like the JS eval()
// box was checked, i.e. is "true"
s = "cost"+i;
j = Number(eval(s).text);
if( j > 0 ) x = x + j; // add to the total accumulator
//campCost is the cfinput text box used to display the total
cost.
campCost.text = 0;
if( x != 0 )
campCost.text = "$" + x + ".00"; -
Can't change font of forms checkbox
I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Pro to 11 Pro (Mac version) a week or two ago and now my forms are messed up. Specifically, the marks in the checkboxes do not print out.
I tried to go into Properties and adjust the font, thinking that might be the issue but the dropdown is grayed out. The font it shows is Adobe Pi, which as far as I can tell is not installed on my machine. So now I'm thinking that really is why the marks don't print.
Why can't I change the font of these checkboxes? Where can I get the Adobe Pi font? How can I print my checkboxes?The font for checkboxes can't be changed. Some of the options (e.g. cross) don't even use a character from the Pi font, which is built-in. It is actually the replacement font for the Zapf Dingbats font which is guaranteed to be available with all compliant PDF viewers, so there's no need for you to have it installed separately.

PHP email form checkbox values?
Hello,
I'm creating a php email form which part of it consists of a few checkboxes that I need to get the values of. My php knowledge isn't that great therefore I used a tutorial to successfully create the bulk of the form.
I currently have 7 checkboxes set up as such:
<input type="checkbox" id="grade_5" name="grade[]" value="Grade 5" />
Each of these are named "grade[]" to be stored in an array called "grade".
I know that the values are successfully stored in the array as they show up in the browser when I echo the array.
$grade = $_POST['grade'];
$N = count($grade);
for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++) {
echo($grade[$i] . " ");
So, the part I am having trouble with is getting the values to show up in the body of the email.
$body = "
Grade Level(s): $grade
All that is returned in this case is the word "Array" instead of the desired checked grade values.
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
*Note: All other values (textboxes, selection dropdowns, etc.) are already successfully sent to the email.danedmonds wrote:

That's because $grade is an array. If you want to access the values, you need to use a loop. Alternatively, use implode() to turn it into a comma-separated string, like this:
$grade = implode(', ', $grade); -
Form Checkboxes - how to make mandatory?
Hi,
Have a dilemma...
1 - Working on a form
2 - In the form there are checkboxes for:
a) MasterCard
b) VISA
c) Sending a Check
The client wants the ANY ONE of the three to be checked. And
the form to come back if one of the 3 IS NOT checked.
I do not understand how to set this up? Can anyone provide
advice or help?
Thanks!Do not use checkboxes. Use a set of radio buttons or a drop
down menu (select box). -
This is a simple requirement which I have for the first time. I want to have a checkbox in a
tabular form, which will show checked value for 'Y' and unchecked for NULL. This sounds
simple and is actually a usual requirement in many cases. However, I can't get it working
in this example:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:123
1. Checking some of the rows and then trying to update the table is resulting in a no data
found error message,
2. Checking all the values will not result in an error,
it will update the other columns but it will not update
the checkbox column.
Can someone please explain how to handle something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Denes KubicekHello Denes,
" However, the hidden item is not a problem"Sorry about that. Didn't notice you changed it to editable field.
" … but G_F10 array "Yes. The G_F10 array will contains values only for the checked rows. So if you'll take row 5, which is not checked, the i index will be 5, but you don't necessarily have HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f10 (5) if you didn't check 5 rows.
If you want to act only on the checked rows, you need to loop on the (currently) G_F10 elements. You should attach the checkboxes to the empno column – HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,empno) – and then use it as your key in the where clause.
I believe your report query should look something like this (and of course you need to show this column):
SELECT HTMLDB_ITEM.checkbox (1,empno) " ", ename,
HTMLDB_ITEM.select_list_from_query
(3,
job,
'select distinct job, job from emp'
) job,
HTMLDB_ITEM.popupkey_from_query (4,
mgr,
'select ename, empno from emp',
10
) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup (6, NULL, hiredate) hiredate,
HTMLDB_ITEM.text (7, sal, 10) sal, HTMLDB_ITEM.text (8, comm, 10) comm,
HTMLDB_ITEM.select_list_from_query
(9,
deptno,
'select dname, deptno from dept'
) deptno,
check_char check_char_value
FROM emp_garbageand your update process, something like this:
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
UPDATE emp_garbage
SET job =
REPLACE (HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03 (i), '%' || 'null%', NULL),
mgr =
REPLACE (HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f04 (i), '%' || 'null%', NULL),
hiredate = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f06 (i),
sal = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f07 (i),
comm = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f08 (i),
deptno =
REPLACE (HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f09 (i), '%' || 'null%', NULL),
check_char = 'Y'
WHERE empno = to_number(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f01 (i));
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;Regards,

Dynamically ticking a form checkbox
I have a form with a select list that onchange, should call a javascript that checks a single checkbox. (problem reduced to bare minimum for the moment) Having perused the forum and how-to docs, I still haven't managed to dynamically check 1 box. I would have thought this is a basic javascript problem, however the usual suggestions from various javascript forums have also not worked (which are basically the approcah below).
Is there an Apex factor I am not considering? Here's my seemingly straightforward approach, what have I missed please?
Javascript:
function checkThis(){
document.getElementById('P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD').checked = true;
Function call, from select list:
onchange="checkThis()"
The error I get is: "document.getElementById("P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD") has no properties." Tried to get element with html_GetElement as well and got same error.Hello,
The ID naming convention for checkboxes is a bit different. If you item is 'P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD', the ID of the first box will be 'P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD_0', the next one will be 'P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD_1', and so forth.
So, in order to check the first (and maybe the only) checkbox, you need to use:
document.getElementById('P100_DB_UPGRADE_REQD_0').checked = true;Regards,

9 i Forms Checkboxes on the same canvas
Hi Everyone,
I need to show exceptions as checkboxes on the same canvas where i found and displayed the exceptions.
I have four fields and base on two of those fields which is a range of #. A begin and end.
I take that range( Beg and end) and show a multiline scroll tab and based on whether those number exceptions are released or closed which decide if that # will appear on the line of the checkbox. My canvas looks like this field h,i,j,k,l and m are in my first block.
field AAAAA FIELD H FIELD I FIELD J
field Beg BBBBBBBBBB XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX
field End CCCCCCCCCC FIELD K FIELD L FIELD M
field DDDDDDDDDD ___ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
_____ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
FDE FD F F G _____ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
1 XXX R
2 XXX R
3 XXX R C
4 XXX
5 XXX R
NOTE:
FIELD E HAS TWO EXCEPTIONS
LINE 3 AND 4
FIELDS E,F AND G ARE IN A DIFFERENT BLOCK
FIELDS K , L AND M SHOWS THE EXCEPTIONS FROM FIELD E
Fields H,I, J,K, L,M SHOULD BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THEY SHIFTED to THE LEFT.
CAN THIS BE DONE?
Thanks in advance.

Muse form checkbox wiggling around, hard to check
Funny things are happening with the checkbox at the bottom of this page. http://opbarks02.businesscatalyst.com/general.html The box is moving around on mouseover and is nearly impossible to check unless I click the text to the right, which makes no sense. Here's a link to a video showing the problem in action Dropbox - 2014-12-09 09.43.51.mov
I was having the same issue. When I added a new checkbox, the box and label were not lined up horizontally. So I moved the box down slightly (in relation to the label). This caused the checkbox to jump when hovering over it. Whether I moved the checkbox or label (any amount) it jumped (wiggled) when hovering. Even if you moved it back in the same position, it continued to move. I finally figured out the solution.
I was trying to line up the label with the checkbox. Moving the checkbox separate from the label created the issue, if I added a new checkbox and left it alone, it would be fine. There were two problems.
First,the label text box "Leading" setting was at 200%. This was adding more space at the top of the label box, requiring that I move the check box down (this leads to the second and the main cause). The real cause of the checkbox jumping was that the checkbox was located below the dashed line of the checkbox element. Anytime I moved the box lower than the element top dashed line, it would "jump" the equivalent amount.
SOLUTIONS:
1. If you want the label to line up with checkbox, select just the label box, click on text properties, change the "Leading" value to 100%. The text can be located below the checkbox and still work fine but the main point is to make sure label box is below checkbox, when it is properly located at the top of the element (see #2).
2. My main problem was that when you initially select the checkbox element (checkbox and label together), there is a dashed box surrounding them. Anytime the the check box was not located at the very top of the element, it would "jump". To correct, select the element and see where it is located on the "Y" axis. Now, select only the checkbox, insert the same value for "Y". Now the checkbox is at the top of the element and it does not "jump" or "wiggle". You can proceed to move the label box lower than the checkbox but for some reason, when you move it above it, it causes the issue.
I hope this helps. It worked for me. -
I have tried everything I can think of to try to get it to work (which it did until recently when I had Acrobat reinstalled). OS is Windows 7.
Are you sure you're exporting interactive PDF?

Use a checkbox to submit a form, is this possibe
hi all, I'm trying to add a comments section to my website.
I'd like it so that if a checkbox were checked below a particular
blog entry then the comments section would expand, and obviously
contract if the checkbox is unchecked. Is this possible. My code so
far looks like this:
<cfform>
<span class="blog_posting_info">Posted on
04/11/06</span> <span class="blog_posting_info">|
<label></label>VIEW COMMENTS</span>
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="checkbox"
value="checkbox">
</cfform>
<cfif isDefined("form.checkbox")>
<cfinsert datasource="comments" formfields="name"
tablename="comments">
<cfquery name="comments" datasource="comments">
select*
from comments
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><p><span
class="blog_heading">#comments.name# Says:<br
/></span><br />
<span
class="blog_posting_info">--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------</span><br
/>
</table>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
AndyHi,
Give your form a name, <cfform name="myForm">
Then in the checkbox:
<input type="checkbox"
onchange="this.myForm.submit();">
OR you should be able to do this:
You need to reference it by name, or even Id.
<!--- This goes in your header file if you have one, or at
the top of the page, not sure how your code is architected.
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm() {
var theForm = document.getElementById('myForm');
theForm.submit();
</script>
<input type="checkbox" onchange="submitForm();">
Either method should work.
Hope that helps...

Trying to remove a checkBox from a list of checkBoxes
Hello,
I have a dictionary that has TKey equal to a Decimal and with TValue equal to a List<CheckBox>. I declare it like so:
Dictionary<Decimal, List<CheckBox>> entireCheckBoxList = new Dictionary<Decimal, List<CheckBox>>();
The reason for doing this is that I can pass it a NumericUpDown value (which only is in Decimal), then I can find any created CheckBox's that corespond to the NumericUpDown value. So let say I have my NumericUpDown equal to 1, when I click on the up
arrow, I pop-up a new form window that lets me enter data lets say folder name and file name. Then, when I click my save button, I create check boxes for a folder name and under that check box is a the file name but it is slightly indented to the right and
under it:
So the reason why I have a Decimal TKey is that when i pop up a new form to create checkBoxes, I can create as many check boxes as I want and only want to assign them to one number. So if I create 4 check Boxes in one form pop-up form, then I want the numberUpDown
value to only be increased by one when I save it and create them.
So my main question is, when I click down on the numericUpDown arrow, I want to remove the index associated with the numericUpdown from both the control and this dictionary. I am able to remove from the dictionary like so:
entireCheckBoxList.Remove(numbericUpDownValue);
However now I want to remove from the control with something like this:
this.tabPage1.Controls.Remove(entireCheckBoxList[numbericUpDownValue]);
But I am receiving the following errors:
Error 1
The best overloaded method match for 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection.Remove(System.Windows.Forms.Control)' has some invalid arguments
Error 2
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.List<System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox>' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'.
All I want to do is remove the check boxes associated with the numericUpDown value from the control that correspond to the ones created and stored in my dictionary List<CheckBoxes>. I am just not sure how to do it.
Kind Regards.Ok great thanks for this.
I have just realized that if I can just remove the last item in the entireCheckBoxList dictionary added, then there is no reason for the numbericUpDownValue look up. I just need to remove the last item in this dictionary.
I have tried many things to get the last item in the dictionary but are all out of ideas.
Any clue?
I have done this:
var test = entireCheckBoxList.Last();
then since this gives me the last value, I have then looped through like so:
foreach (CheckBox item in test.Value)
Then to remove only the last items created, since they are done in pairs, i have done this:
count++;
if ((count == test.Value.Count - 1) || (count == test.Value.Count))
this.tabPage1.Controls.Remove(item);
else
if (!yourlist.Contains(item))
yourlist.Add(item);
entireCheckBoxList.Add(count, yourlist);
where count is an int declare above. So the final solution is this:
var test = entireCheckBoxList.Last();
int entireCheckBoxCount = entireCheckBoxList.Count;
List<CheckBox> yourlist = new List<CheckBox>();
int count = 0;
entireCheckBoxList.Clear();
foreach (CheckBox item in test.Value)
count++;
if ((count == test.Value.Count - 1) || (count == test.Value.Count))
this.tabPage1.Controls.Remove(item);
else
if (!yourlist.Contains(item))
yourlist.Add(item);
entireCheckBoxList.Add(count, yourlist);
What do you think?
Kind Regards. -
PDF form from Excel spreadsheet/table
I am developing a process where folks enter data (all text) to a central spreadsheet, and someone uses Acrobat X to generate a form. The form needs checkboxes (one per table row), and a digital signature above the table. I'm running into a couple of issues:
1) I am trying to automate the creation of checkboxes, so that whoever is generating the final PDF form does not need to add a checkbox for each row. I noticed that in Excel, in Develop mode, one can add checkboxes, and on my first try, the PDF form creator seemed to translate those automatically into PDF form checkboxes so that no extra manual step was needed. In my last few tries, the conversion no longer auto-converts checkboxes. Any tips on this?
2) I also noticed that whereever there is blank space, the form creator inserts a text field. Even for table cells that have text in them, if there's any white space, presto, here comes a text field inserted into that very cell, usually named after the text already in the cell. Is there any way to avoid this?Which version of Acrobat do you have? If X, then there should be an option
in your Excel to Mail Merge the spreadsheet, which is basically what you
describe. However, I'm not sure if it can also automatically email the
files to the recipients.
I have developed a script that can do the merge, *and *automatically email
the file to each person. Have a look here for more info:
