How do I make a drop down list required?

I'm trying to make a form that has two drop down boxes that I need to make required. currently, no matter what I put as the first item or in the initial values, it won't detect when someone hasn't selected anything, because it just counts the first item as being valid. Is there a way to set the first item as not being valid? I've tried setting the value of the first item to:
null = --please select --
which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do this?
If you need more info please let me know.

Based on above scenario i expect that you are using OOTB form components (like drop down etc...).
If yes, then you can achieve it easly by setting up constraint value as required under "constraint" tab and dont initialize "default value" under "initial values" tab.
If above will not help as per your requirement. Then try below.
The form (drop down component) configured using 'selection' widget (xtype) so you can configure this property as not null by setting 'allowBlank' property as below.
name                 type                value
allowBlank         boolean           false
I hope this will help you. Let me know if it doesn't work

  • How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
    To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
    If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.

    I want the list to close automatically when selecting a bookmark to open the page (as it does with favourites in Internet Explorer 8). Is it possible to set this up or does the list always have to be closed manually?

    I am closing this prompt as now I am seeing that it is getting refreshed.

  • How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

    I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

    Has anyone done this?

    There's no built-in function that does that in Acrobat, but there are some third-party tools that do.
    The two most known ones are by FormRouter, which is free and based on form fields (but also a bit buggy), and a non-free version created by Max Wyss, which is based on a dialog object.

  • A simple process I just don't know - how to make one drop down list dependent on another.

    Drop-Down List One has 17 office names. Drop-Down List Two has sub-office names associated with each of the 17 main offices.  If user selects Office 3 from Drop Down List One, only sub-offices associated with Office 3 should appear as choices in Drop-Down List Two.  How do I do that?

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

    I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
    Anyone able to help me with this???
    Thanks,
    Jed

    Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
    <select name="season">
    <option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
    <option value='2008'>2008</option>
    </select>
    <select name="gameselect">
    <%
    try
    String year = "2009";
    String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    Statement s = con.createStatement();
    s.executeQuery(sql);
    ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
    while(rs.next())
    %>
    <option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
    <%
    catch(Exception e)
    %>
    </select>

  • How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

    Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

    The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.<br />
    Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
    I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

  • How do I populate a drop-down list from a schema variable

    I'm a novice programmer and new to the LiveCycle environment. I need help to populate a drop-down list in LiveCycle from a hard coded variable within my form's schema. I have a list of 28 names (the number of names and actual names change annually). That list is used over 30 times within a form for different selections. Since the list rarely changes, I would prefer to hard code it and make changes to the schema when they occur.
    If I can't find a solution, I will be updating over 30 separate drop-down list objects each time there is a change to the list.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Chris

    Can you post your schema to [email protected] and I will have a look. You will also need to indicate which node in the schema is supposed to populate the dropdown.
