How can I populate a dropdown list

I am trying to build a dropdown list dependant on another dropdown list
Once a selection is made in dropdown list 1:
Only items associated with that selection are populated in dropdown list 2 AND
populates text field 1 with the data selected in dropdown list 1
Once dropdown list 2 selection is made:
populates a text field 2 with the data selected in dropdown list 2
Anybody know how this can be done?
Ray

Sorry about that. I had the link ready to paste but neglected to do so: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/getting-external-data-into-acrobat-x-javascript
The idea is that you can read in data from an external or attached file, but it will need to be a different format such as XML, tab-delimited text, or CSV, which can all be exported from a spreadsheet.

  • How can I create a dropdown list of all 12 months without having to type each month manually?

    Hello,
    We are creating a writeable/fillable Form PDF that asks for a person's birth month, birth date, and birth year.
    We want to make filling the form as easy for our respondents as possible. For the blank that asks for the birth month, we would like to create a dropdown list of all 12 months.
    We also would like to  make the creation of the form as easy as possible for us. Is it possible to avoid having to type all 12 months into the list?
    What about for birth years from 1901 to 2000?

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • How do I populate one dropdown list based on the selection in another dropdown list?

    I have one dropdown list that has 21 choices.  Depending on the selection of those 21 choices, I have another dropdown list that will select a different subset of choices from a pool of 96 choices.  How do I get this to happen?

  • How can I use a Dropdown list in a table col and only get the choosen key?

    hi!
    I have chosen Cell editor = Dropdown for two of the columns in my WD table  (ordinary Table not ALV) .
    When the table is displayed the first time this looks OK, but if a user selects a value from the dropdown list, both the key and the explanation text is copied into the cell, and the cell column is automatically widened. I want to copy the key value only, and not the connected text. How is this possible?
    I started setting the table as fixed and setting the width on the column, but this was a puzzle I gave up since there are quite a lot of columns.
    regards, Tine

    Well , the problem is that in the dropdown list I want to see both the key value and the text, like you do in SAP GUI. Fex. if I would like to create a dropdown for langauges, factory calendar or countries, I want to see both the country code (the key) and the name of the country in the dropdown list, and then when user choose a line I would only like to see the keyvalue in the input field.  Right now I concatenate the key and the text into the 'value' in the valueset table.
    In some cases the user knows the key value better than the explanational text, and then it is good to show both values. But sInce I would like to save space in the table displayed in the view I only want to show the key values selected in the table (ex. NO if user choose Norway) .
    But maybe it is better to create this kind of input help as an OVS with no input fields .?

  • How can I populate and unordered list from an sql table

    Instead of hardcoding a static menu using an unordered list, I would like to populate it from a table
    (just two fields, MenuID,MenuDesc) so that the menu can grow or shrink depending on what is in the table.
    Tried googling this but cannot make head or tail of php server side recursive scripts, datareaders etc
    Couild some kind person just spell it out for me:
    <ul>
         <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
         <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
         <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
          etc
    <ul>
    many thanks

    Hi Adam,
    Many thanks indeed for taking the trouble to respond.
    As you probably know, I'm a self taught amateur, so I need things spelled out.
    Presumably, you mean something like
    <CFQuery datasource"xxx" name="GetMenuData">
          select MenuDesc from Menus
    </CFQuery>
    <CFOutput>
          <ul id="MenuBar">
                <CFLoop query="GetMenuData">
                      <li>#GetMenuData.Menudesc#</li>
                </CFLoop>
          </ul>
    </CFOutput>
    Seems a bit too simple...
    (My replies from Outlook did not contain the actual code (bizarre)

  • How can I make a dropdown box populate with values from other fields?

    I am trying to create a NCAA bracket where they select teams from a dropdown menu. For example, they choose which teams win in game 1 and 2 through a dropdown box. The winner of games 1 and 2 then play each other, so how can I populate the dropbox with their selections for game 1 and 2?
    Game 1 winner --
         (game 9)        |--- Game 9 winner
    Game 2 winner --
    Game 9 winner needs to populate with their selections from game 1 winner and game 2 winner.

    I would look at using the setItems Acrobat JavaScript method.
    Have you considered using  a Mouse Up action for "Game 1" and "Game 2" to fill "Game 9"

  • Using an Array to Populate a DropDown List

    Using LCD 8
    Want to populate one dropdown list - with up to 24 items - based on a radio button selection.
    If RBG== 1, then display dropdown list with values pertaining to value "1".
    I have the dropdown list working.
    (rinse and repeat)
    However, I have coded each 'addItem' with a value.
    So, if I have 3 radio buttons - I code for 72 different 'addItems'.
    There is also a very good chance that some selections will only result in 3 values - where as other selections may yield 12 or 24.
    I want to use global variables as an array (I think) and then be able to loop through these variables and populate the dropdown list with each pass of the loop.
    This reduces the code from '72 lines' to 'very few lines').
    The variable values for each RBG value are set in a script object.
    How do I use/declare an array for my variables??

    Hello Godde
    Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

  • How can I find out the list of users who has the access to IT 0008

    All,
    How can I find out the list of users who has the W R permission for IT 008
    for others?
    SUIM doe not look like giving me the correct results.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    From
    PT.

    combine tables AGR_1251 and table AGR_Users on keyfield AGR_USERS
    in tabel AGR_1251 select on Field LOW values IT0008.OR W OR R,
    noiw you get also other values
    So better solution run the query twice over AGR1251 first on IT0008 and secondly on values W OR R and then the result over table AGR_USERS
    Youu also might put an additional selection on object P* (only selecting HR objects)
    output wll be UID in table AGR_USERS
