Help changing text fields background

Hello, I need help changing the field text background color. In some forms I use read only field texts, and I would like those ones to have a different color (like gray) so it is easy to see they are read only..
How can I do that??
Thanks for your help!!

Nobody knows how to do it?

Safari 5.1.2 keeps changing text field randomly on text input

Hello everybody.
Safari keeps changing the text field on input, do you know how to correct this issue?
Here is an example:
Let's say I load www.google.com, it appears in the safari window as usual.
Suppose I begin to type a search in the google search field at the top right of the safari window (not the one on the google page)
if when doing this the sentence is long for the search, at some point randomly, the rest of the text will be entered this time in the google search text field on the google page! (which is the very next text field) So when I hit enter it makes google search half of my request...
Safari changed the text field I was into with no warning. I want to say I do not press tab at any moment.
This is annoying really, and this does not appear anywhere else than in Safari. It seems the issue is not systematic, but appears quite often.
I have no universal access setting except "enable access for assistive device"
I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.
Perhaps the problem I have is linked to some window refreshing?
Thank you for your suggestions or help

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.

Please help. Text fields launch email for XML data

Let me start by saying I have only been using LiveCycle for two days. I did buy a book and have exhaustuvley searched for a solution....with that said....
After completing almost the entire form, somehow or other I managed to make all the text fields but one initiate email of xml data as soon as you try to type in them in PDF preview or reader or pro.
I added a new text field for test and it does NOT do the same thing. I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn this off.
Issue:
When checking pdf preview, if I click inside a text field to type, it stops the preview and launches an email window with a blank XML file. It does the same thing if I open the file in Reader or Pro.
Solution I am looking for:
My form is nearly complete and i would hate to have to start all over. Basically, I do NOT want the text fields to initiate an email of the form data. I just want the user to be able to type in them as required. In my opinion this should only happen with the "email form" button.
Thanks,
Joe

funny, i found a workaround. after nearly 3 hours and finally posting here, in 15 minutes i found something. I still would like to know
what caused this if anyone knows.....
Fix:
By selecting the text field and changing object type to "Text" then changing it back to "TextField" then save, it now works fine. Of course I had to do it on all 25 fields but way better than redoing all the custom fields i created.

Need help regarding text field

Hi ,
I have a text field in my form which will contains a numeric value.Based on this value i have to show those many text fields to enter the name.
I have tried this code by keeping the texfield in a sub form and try to display subform using instance manager .see the below script.
Textfield.NewState.presence="visible";
var oSubform = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Page1.Textfield");
oSubform.instanceManager.setInstances(3);
form1.Page1.Textfield.instanceManager.addInstance();
but this code is not working.
Please help me!!
Thanks in advance
bharathi.

you can't use the instanceManager for a TextField.. your oSubform should represents a Subform not a TextField
you can use instanceManager only for containers such as rows and subforms

Changing text field (need more positions) of variant ZUK01 in FF67

I am using a variant called ZUK01 in FF67. In that variant I have a Line item text field, but with not enough positions.
Is it possible to change the field properties so I can change the positions of the field?
I want to use the variant but need to feel in more text then I have positions.
Is it possible to change it? So yes where can I find it?

Hi,
You could go to OT43 tcode (screen variant maintenance for manual bank statement); double click on your variant and note down your Field name (for text); then click on "Technical names" and note down the table and field for that field name. Then, from SE11; you can find out how many characters that field (data element) allows. Then, you can talk to ABAP team member for the possibilities: to enhance that data element or use another field for your purpose.

Change text field in profit center document

Hi,
We have a requirement like whenever we changed the text field for an accounting document, it should change the text field of relevant profit center document also.
Is there a way to get this change automatically in profit center document.
There was no change option for profit center documents, so we are not able to change the text manually in profit center document.
Let us know if there is any possibility to change the text field in profit center document.
also suggest me, if there is any user exit available for this purpose.
Thanks in advance.

Detect device language and change text field accordingly

Im working in Flash Pro with AIR for Android.
I have a single text field and would like to change the language in that text field to match the mobile devices language.
How Can I detect the devices language and then change the textfield to match the language?

import flash.system.Capabilities;
switch (Capabilities.language)
    case "en" :
        TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English"
        break;
    case "fr" :
        TxtField.text = "LANGUAGEFrench";
        break;
    case "es" :
        TxtField.text = "LANGUAGESpanish";
        break;
    default :
        TxtField.text = "Whatever.";
//Use Capabilities.languages[0] for the country code. eg. en-US
//switch (Capabilities.languages[0])
//case "en-US" :
//TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English. American"
//break;
//case "en-GB" :
//TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English. Great Britain";
//break;
//default :
//TxtField.text = "Whatever.";

Please, help with text field on form

Hello,
I am creating a form. I have a text field where the person will type a number into text field and I need it to also enter in another text field. For example, the person enters 23 into text field 12, I also need the entry of text field 12 to show up in text field 63. Is this possible? I'm VERY new to this, so a step by step response would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!!!
Debby

This requires a script as you have to first verify that the denominator is not blank or zero, or you'll get an invalid operation.
Something like this should work as the custom calculation script of your field:
var s1 = this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
var s2 = this.getField("Text3").valueAsString;
if (s1!="" && s2!="" && Number(s2)!=0) event.value = Number(s1)/Number(s2);
else event.value = "";

Cfpdfform (CF8) changes text-field font of an adobe 9 pdf form to Courier

I'm having problems getting cfpdfform to render the text-field font as it exists in the source pdf form.
The source pdf form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
When I download the pdf from the server using cfcontent, the text-fields look as expected, retaining their designated font (and the pdf has the desired fonts embedded).
However, when I do a cfpdfform action="populate", the text-field font is switched with Courier (even though the desired fonts remain embedded).
This happens regardless of what font I pick.
I have verified that the font exists on the server and in cf admin.
Here's my code:

<cfpdfform action="populate"
 source="#pdfPathFile#"
 destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
 overwrite = "yes">
 <cfpdfformparam name="student_name" value="first name and last name" />
 <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_title" value="a cool certificate title" />
 <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_date" value="1/1/2010" />
</cfpdfform>

<cfpdf action = "write"
 destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
 source = "#pdfPathFile#"
 flatten = "yes"
 overwrite = "yes" />

<cfcontent
 file = "#pdfPathFile#"
 deleteFile = "yes"
 reset = "yes"
 type = "application/pdf" />
Commenting out the cfpdf action = "write" block produced the same outcome.
Using different source and destination filenames (vs overwriting existing one) didn't make a difference, either.
Any ideas on how I can get cfpdfform to respect my predefined text-field fonts?
I truly appreciate your time.

The problem was resolved.
Turned out to be the way the pdf was created by Adobe 9 Standard that made cfpdfform misbehave.
Three things we did seemed to have made the pdf acceptable by cfpdfform:
1. Downloaded the latest updates for Adobe 9 Standard
2. Checked on the text-field "Multi-line" property
3. Checked off the text-field "Rich Text Formatting" property
Cheers.

Need help formatting text field default value

Hello,
I've received a customer request to put default text into the Value section of a text field. They're requesting that the default text include line breaks, bullets, etc. I added a Text Field object and added the default text to the Object tab > Value tab Default field but can't figure out how to add line breaks, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Saskia

Hi,
this is possible but not doable with the UI of Designer.
The workaround is as follows:
1. Create a text, enter your default text with all the formattings you need (text color, bold text, line breaks etc.)
2. Create a text field and enter any word as default value. Let's say "Default".
3. Select the text and the switch to the XML Source view.
There you will find all the formatted text between the <value> tags such as:
<value>
 <exData contentType="text/html">
 <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">This is default Text • with RichText formatting.</body>
 </exData>
</value>
4. Select the whole code between the <value> tags and copy it to the clipboard (ctrl + c).
5. Go to the Design View, select the text field, go back to the XML Source view.
6. There you'll also find the value <tags> and your default value you entered before.
<value>
 <text>Default</text>
</value>
7. Select this code section and paste the value copied before to the clipboard by pressing ctrl + v.
8. That's it. When you now go back to the Design View your text field shows a formatted RichText as defaul text.

Help changing text in a textfield

Hello, I am trying to create buttons that will replace the text in a text field.
The text field is "Staff_Copy"
The buttons are "Staff_Saam_btn", "Staff_Nicolas_btn", "Staff_David_btn", and "Staff_Anthony_btn".
//Code in frame 1 of timeline
var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 0;
var Saam_Copy:String = "This is the text for Saam's Bio";
var Nicolas_Copy:String = "This is the text for Nick's Bio";
var Anthony_Copy:String = "This is the text for Anthony's Bio";
var David_Copy:String = "This is the text for David's Bio";
//code in frame in which textfield first appears on stage
Staff_Saam_btn.onPress = function()    {
                Staff_Copy_Value = 4;
Staff_Nicolas_btn.onPress = function() {
                Staff_Copy_Value = 3;
Staff_David_btn.onPress = function()    {
                Staff_Copy_Value = 2;
Staff_Anthony_btn.onPress = function()              {
                Staff_Copy_Value = 1;
_root.onEnterFrame = function()             {
                if (Staff_Copy_Value == 4)          {
                                Staff_Copy.text = Saam_Copy;
                } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 3)              {
                                Staff_Copy.text = Nicolas_Copy;
                } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 2)              {
                                Staff_Copy.text = David_Copy;
                } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 1)              {
                                Staff_Copy.text = Anthony_Copy;
This doesn't work. Whatever the initial value of the variable "Staff_Copy_Value" is will determine the text in the field. So if I use the value 0 as in the above, whatever is in the textfield on the stage shows. If I use 1,2,3, or 4 then the text strings in the defined variables shows up. What am I missing. I am assuming it is has to do with the onEnterFrame command. How do I make the movie keep checking the value of "Staff_Copy_Value"?
Thanks!

Hi,
try this:
//frame 1 of timeline
var pressing:Boolean = false;
var movement:Number = 0;
var Staff_Copy_Value:Number = 3;
//the text in the following strings are condensed. The actual text takes
//more space than the text box will show. Hence the need for scroll
//buttons.
var Saam_Copy:String = "This is the text for Saam's Bio";
var Nicolas_Copy:String = "This is the text for Nick's Bio";
var Anthony_Copy:String = "Condensed text for Anthony's Bio.";
var David_Copy:String = "This is the text for David's Bio";
//frame in which the textfield enters stage (25).
upButton_btn.onPress = function() {
    _root.pressing = true;
    _root.movement = -1;
upButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
     _root.pressing = false;
downButton_btn.onPress = function() {
     _root.pressing = true;
    _root.movement = 1;
downButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
     _root.pressing = false;
Staff_Saam_btn.onPress = function() {
     _root.Staff_Copy_Value = 4;
Staff_Nicolas_btn.onPress = function() {
     _root.Staff_Copy_Value = 3;
Staff_David_btn.onPress = function() {
     _root.Staff_Copy_Value = 2;
Staff_Anthony_btn.onPress = function() {
     _root.Staff_Copy_Value = 1;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (Staff_Copy_Value == 4) {
         Staff_Copy.text = Saam_Copy;
    } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 3) {
         Staff_Copy.text = Nicolas_Copy;
    } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 2) {
        Staff_Copy.text = David_Copy;
    } else if (Staff_Copy_Value == 1) {
         Staff_Copy.text = Anthony_Copy;
    if (_root.pressing == true) {
          _root.Staff_Copy.scroll = _root.Staff_Copy.scroll + _root.movement;
