Help with Hidden Drop Down Lists in RBList subforms

I have created a form that contains 3 isolated Radio Button lists, each with hidden subforms that are unique per each button.
Two of my RBLists and subforms work perfectly, showing hidden Drop Down List options and other fields as they should when a button is selected.
However, RBList3 presents the Drop Down lists as user entry fields only. Each hidden subform in RBList3 contains one drop down menu and one text box for instructions.
I've used the same javascript to hide/show hidden fields when buttons are selected. All settings seem to match up. Here is a sample of my code:
if(RBList3.F.rawValue != 2) 
    this.presence = "hidden";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
else if(RBList3.F.rawValue == 2)
    this.presence = "visible";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make my Drop Down Lists in RBList3 show as functional Drop lists?
I have attached the form for reference.

Hi Paul,
I see that the code works for radio button G selection in the change event. However, what I really need to happen...is for the RBList options to be present on the screen without any subform data until the user clicks button E, F or G. If either E or F is selected, then the drop list and the text box would pop up as you currently have them placed on screen.
My original problem was that the EdgeDropDown2 list loses its functionality when wrapped in a hidden subform (i.e. SubformE or SubformF).
Can I add code to the change event to make EdgeDropDown2 and PanzDrawTxt appear only if either E or F are chosen. The code you wrote below works only for G selection.
if(this.rawValue != 3)
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "visible";
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "visible";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "hidden";
}else {
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "hidden";
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "hidden";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "visible";

    The best thing is to dynamically build your where clause based on the user selection. Test the values of all form fields and if the user does not make a selection, do not include that in the where clause.
    Trying to build a single, static where clause that accounts for all possible user input permutations is extremely difficult.

  • [Forum FAQ]How do I add a search feature in the parameter with long drop down list?

    Introduction
    There is a scenario that thousands of values in the drop-down of a parameter. Scrolling through the large drop down list is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way that we add a search feature in the report, so that it can filter down the values in the drop
    down list to a smaller list of values?
    Solution
    To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with multiple keywords ahead, then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter,
    and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display the available values.
    In order to enable the user to type multiple keywords, we can use the query below to create a split function which takes the list and the de-limiter as input parameters and splits all the values in the database:
    CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitParameterValues] (@InputString NVARCHAR(max), @SplitChar VARCHAR(5))
     RETURNS @ValuesList TABLE
     param NVARCHAR(255)
     AS
     BEGIN
     DECLARE @ListValue NVARCHAR(max)
     SET @InputString = @InputString + @SplitChar
     WHILE @InputString!= @SplitChar
     BEGIN
     SELECT @ListValue = SUBSTRING(@InputString , 1, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)-1))
     IF (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar))>(LEN(@InputString))
     BEGIN
     SET @InputString=@SplitChar
     END
     ELSE
     BEGIN
     SELECT @InputString = SUBSTRING(@InputString, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar)) , LEN(@InputString)-(CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)+ len(@SplitChar)-1) )
     END
    INSERT INTO @ValuesList VALUES( @ListValue)
     END
     RETURN
     END
    Use the query below create a stored procedure to return all available values for Account parameter:
    create PROCEDURE sp (@keyword nvarchar(50))
    AS
    SELECT     AccountDescription
    FROM         DimAccount d
    inner join (SELECT [param] FROM SplitParameterValues (@keyword,',')) s on d.AccountDescription like (s.[param]+'%')
    In Report Designer, select Stored Procedure as the Query type for DataSet1, then select or type sp in the drop-down list as below:
    By default, there is a parameter named keyword in the Parameters pane.
    Add a multi-value parameter named Account in the report, then select “Get values from a query” option for Available Values as below:

    Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
    It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
    Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

  • Dynamic table with dynamic drop-down list values

    Hi,
    I need to display a dynamic table with 2 columns on an interactive form.
    My Context is defined as below:
    Root
    StudentData     0..n
    StudentName
    StudentCourses     0..n
    Text
    Value
    The 1st column should display student name, 2nd column should display student courses. The courses will be different for each student. I populated the context properly. I checked it by printing them. My DDL is bound to "Student Courses".
    When there is one row -> The DDL is populated with the courses of student 1 (as there is only one).
    When there are more rows -> The DDLs for all the students are populated with all the courses of all the students.
    I want to see the data populated like:
    TEXTFIELD    DROP-DOWN LIST
    Student 1------Student1-Course1
    Student1-Course2
    Student1-Course3
    Student 2------Student2-Course1
    Student2-Course2
    Student2-Course3
    I tried to do this in plain web dynpro using SVS.. it is also working similarly.
    I have set the singleton property of nodes "StudentData" and "StudentCourses" to false.
    Could any one tell me where I am going wrong?
    Thanks
    Ram

    Ram,
    I'm not sure how much this will help, but I know I had the same problem as you when I tried to get a similar thing working, but I can't remember which of the many changes I made fixed the problem, so I'll just show you my code and perhaps you can see if anything is different than yours.
    Here's where I'm creating my dropdown - in my case EastNew_RegOut is the same as your StudentData, and RateTypeDropValues is the same as your StudentCourses (the comments in the code are not meant to sound bossy to you, this is actually an example piece of code that other developers in my company "steal", so I have to put very specific instructions in there!):
    int nodeSize = wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().size();
    for (int i = 0; i < nodeSize; i++) {
         //create an element called "table", that's the element at i.  So, basically it's a row.  Maybe I should have
         //called it "row" instead of table.
         IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement table = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().getElementAt(i);
         //this line of code just executes an rfc that finds out what rates need to be in the dropdown for this particular row
         executeRateTypeDropdown(rateCategory, table.getNum(), wdContext.currentEastNew_MeterOutElement().getReggrp());
         //clear out what's already in there before we re-populate it.
         table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().invalidate();
         //now, I'm looping through all the values in the *actual* rate type dropdown (the one that's an RFC, populated by the above "execute" method)
         for (int j = 0; j < wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().size(); j++) {
              //for each element in the *actual* Rate type dropdown, I'm going to create an element in my node that I created
              //and set the values from the *actual* one as the values in my node.
                        IPublicDeviceExchange.IRateTypeDropValuesElement element = wdContext.createRateTypeDropValuesElement();
              IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement rateTypeOut = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().getElementAt(j);
              element.setText(rateTypeOut.getText());
              element.setValue(rateTypeOut.getRatetype());
              //here's another key - notice how I don't say wdContext.nodeRateTypeDropValues() - it's the one that's
              //directly off that table I created earlier - the thing that's essentially a row in my newReg table.
              //So, what I'm doing here is adding that new element I created to the dropdown FOR THAT ROW!               
              //(btw, if you're trying to duplicate this, and this method does not exist for your "table" object, it's
              //probably because you didn't listen to me above and you didn't create your node with the singleton property
              //set to false.)
              table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().addElement(element);
    As for my layout... my table is bound to the EastNew_RegOut node, and the column with the dropdown is bound to RateTypeDropValues.Value  (that's probably obvious, but there you have it anyway)
    Finally, in my context, EastNew_RegOut is singleton = true (I was surprised about this, actually, I would have assumed it was false) with a selection of 0..1 and RateTypeDropValues has singleton set to false with a selection of 0..1
    I hope that helps to some degree!

  • Problems with populating Drop Down List (WD ABAP)

    Hi,
    I am trying to populate two Drop Down fields CARRID and CONNID (Type Table SPFLI) on an Adobe Interactive Form in a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
    In the WD Context I have a node "Flights" with those attributes.
    In the WDDOINIT I populate the Context elements (just for test purposes with all entries of SPFLI).
    [code]  
    DATA:
         node_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
         elem_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
         stru_flights                        TYPE wd_this->element_flights,
         it_flights TYPE TABLE OF spfli.
    SELECT carrid connid FROM spfli INTO TABLE it_flights.
    navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FLIGHTS> via lead selection
       node_flights = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_flights ).
    node_flights->bind_table(
        new_items            = it_flights
        set_initial_elements = ABAP_FALSE
    [/code]
    According to this
    Re: adobe form/reader  error I bound the element values property of the Enumerated Drop Down List to [code]$record.sap-vhlist.CARRID.item[*][/code], whereas <i>Object Text</i> is "Text" and <i>Object Value</i> is "Key".
    Unfortunately the DDLs on the Adobe Form are not populated with the values read from the table. I debugged the application and the values are written to the Context node.
    Do you have any further hints?

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer working with 2 drop down list, one response triggers the other

    I am fairly new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, but I would like to have a drop down list of managers and another drop down list of employees.
    I would like this set up in such a way where the manager can click on their own name in the manager list and have a drop down list appear which is only populated with their directly reporting employees.  They can then click on the individual employee they are going to report on.
    Then there will be several questions pertaining to the individual direct report, etc. (This part I can do)
    Is this possible?
    If so, please provide detailed instructions for me to try.
    Thank you in advance.

    Put this in the change event of your Manager drop down:
    var myObj={"Manager 1":"Employee A,Employee B,Employee C",
                        "Manager 2":"Employee D,Employee E",
                        "Manager 3":"Employee F,Employee G, Employee H"};
    DropDownList2.setItems(myObj[this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText)]);
    This is assuming the list of items in that dropdown is "Manager 1", "Manager 2", "Manager 3".
    And DropDownList2 is the name of your Employee drop down.

  • Can I have a blank field on my document when using a combo box with a drop down list in Word 2011 for Mac?

    I am creating a drop down list using a combo box in the Developer tab. Once I protect my document I want the field to remain empty and not show any of the items on my drop down list. Is there a way to do this? Currently it shows one of the items on my list.
    Thanks

    Paul's answer is correct.
    Since this is a Word IT forum for Windows, in the future you should use the
    answers.microsoft.com forum. It specializes in Word for the Mac. BTW - Paul stops by there also, so you'll still get his advice from there. :-)

  • Problem with InputRender drop down lists

    Basically, everytime i go through a particualar .particular, which initializes several View Objects for displaying various information to the system's user, in all my other .jsp forms, all the drop down lists that i create, loose all the data they should have displayed but one. That is, if they were to display 5 choices, they display only one of them.
    Clearly this is something nobody wants, and i was wondering if anyone has come across this before and if yes, then what would you recommend to me to do?

  • Hidden drop-down list

    Hi,
    I have a form with multiple drop-down, text fields, etc. Depending on how the user responds to drop downs, but what I would like to do is for users to be able to part complete the form, save it and when it reopens to prompt them with the part completed form and a new question automatically opens, but this question would only open after the form had been saved for the first time.
    A bit confusing I know :-)

    Hi,
    I made a sample for you.
    It has 3 scripts to create and check a counter for how many time the form has been saved.
    If it was only saved once, it shows a message box.
    https://acrobat.com/#d=xEOrpXZ5VRywi2W8eRVsgA
    The first script is in a script object "Actions". It creates the counter.
    function initSaveCounter(targetObject) {
        if (targetObject.extras.nodes.namedItem("SaveCounter") === null) {
            targetObject.extras.nodes.append(xfa.form.createNode("extras", "SaveCounter"));
            targetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.append(xfa.form.createNode("integer", "state"));
            while (targetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.length > 0) {
                targetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.remove(targetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.item(t argetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.length - 1));
            var newState = xfa.form.createNode("integer", "SaveCounter");
            newState.value = 0;
            targetObject.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.append(newState);
    The second script is in the formReady:Event. It checks if the current count or creates a counter in none exists.
    var saveCount;
    if (this.extras.nodes.namedItem("SaveCounter") == null) {
              Actions.initSaveCounter(this);
    } else {
              saveCount = this.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.item(0).value;
              if (saveCount == 1) {
                        xfa.host.messageBox("Form is not finished")
    The third script is in the preSave:Event of the root node "Formular1/form1".
    It increases the counter every time the form is saved.
    this.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.item(0).value = this.extras.SaveCounter.nodes.item(0).value + 1;

  • JSF Newbie: help with forms & drop-downs

    Hi,
    I've managed to get a few simple things working with JSF using Netbeans & Visual Web pack. This is pretty sexy stuff for a grizzled old perl programmer. However, there are still a few things I'm having trouble getting through my thick head -- maybe some kind soul could point me in the right direction.
    I would like to have a couple of cascading data-bound drop-downs: dd1 provides a selection list for dd2, and the combination of dd1 and dd2, when selected, provides enough data to populate a webuijsf:table.
    The desired behaviour is that a change in dd1 repopulates the selection list for dd2 and furthermore, repopulates the table based on the selected value in dd1 plus the first value in the selection list of dd2. A change of selection in dd2 repopulates the table accordingly.
    My prerender() for the page checks if dd1.getSelected == null, and if so, sets the cursor to the first row in the bound data provider. Furthermore, it primes the rowset for dd2 with some rows from dd2's data provider based on the values in the first row for dd1.
    The first time through, everything is peachy: dd1 has the appropriate selection list, as does dd2. my webuijsf:table also has the appropriate rows (selected in the prerender()).
    My problem seems to be that when a new value is selected in dd2, dd1.getSelected == null at the next prerender(). This, of course, re-primes dd2, wiping out its selection.
    So, obviously, I don't really understand what I'm doing well enough to see how to do this. The visual web pack tutorials, where I started, really don't provide adequate explanation of what's going on, and the chapter on JSF in the J2EE tutorial is still a little abstract for me.
    I would be forever indebted if somebody could please provide a pointer to a resource (preferably something a perl programmer can afford ;-) that could help me understand, in concrete terms, how a form, and the elements on the form (and their events), are processed.
    Also, and as an aside, am I alone in thinking the whole Java thing is tremendously complex? I'm not talking about the Java language, which I find pretty intuitive, but the zillions of J* stuff around it, which seems somewhat dense. I really do want to learn this stuff, but it's pretty bewildering!
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Mike

    Normally I would tell you to inject the PersonController bean into the PersonSelectionListener bean as a managed property. Then drill into the bean to get the data you need.
    However, in this case you are dealing with a value change listener. Value change events are fired at the end of the Process Validations phase, before the Update Model Values phase. So in this case, the PersonController bean will not contain the selected person from the request. This is not a problem however, since the new value is passed via the ValueChangeEvent object.

  • Help with IE drop down menu stretching across page, Chrome & Firefox work perfectly.

    I have set up a spry menu in my page.  file:///C:/Users/Kim/Documents/PQH_xhtml/index.html
    Everything works great in Chrome and Firefox. Just not in IE.  The only problem I am having is in IE the drop down menus stretch out all the way across the page.
    I have tried changing the width, but it messes up Chrome and Firefox.  Just need IE to shorten up the width of sub menus.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • Need help with javascript drop down menu

    Hi,
    I inherited a website that was already created. I do not know
    what version of dreamweaver they created it in but I have
    Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am trying to make changes to the drop down
    menus. I have figured most everything else out about dreamweaver
    but cant figure out how these menu's are made or can be modified. I
    have gone into the main template and clicked on the menu section I
    want to modify. All it shows it a link to javascript:; I have
    searched everywhere for what this means or how to modify it but
    can't find anything. Can someone tell me how to get to this info so
    I can make changes. Thanks. My website is www.pfcal.org if that
    helps.

    Oh boy. Templates are not for uploading. They have no effect
    on the
    server. They only change local files which must then be
    uploaded to the
    server. But - I'm troubled by this comment -
    > It didnt give me an option to "save" though
    When you made the changes did the template page get marked as
    "dirty" (with
    an asterisk beside the name)? Which DW are you using?
