How do I use javascript or formcalc to reference child controls (not by name)

Hi everyone,
I've created a ton of reports in the past, and I'm now looking at creating some reusable objects so that other people can use advanced form functionality without having to learn to use scripts.
A lot of the coding was acheived using this, .parent, etc. so that they can rename controls and subforms without having to worry about breaking scripts. One issue that I am having is that Some of my code looks at children controls, and references them by name (for example, I have some code that uses setfocus to move the user to the first field in a subform).
In most languages, there are ways to refer to child controls via an indexer or an items/children array. i.e. Subform.items[0].rawValue.
I know that this would pose some issues, but I think I could sort it out, if only I knew where to start. Is there some way to reference a child control without it's name?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Scott,
The subform has a nodes collection you can loop though, as you suspected. If might show up more than you want but you can test the className to see if it is a field and then ui.oneOfChild.className to work out what type of field. So;
for (var i = 0; i < Subform1.nodes.length; i++)
var n = Subform1.nodes.item(i);
console.println(n.className + " " + n.name + " " + n.ui.oneOfChild.className);
Hope this helps.

Addition of fields in Adobe forms using JavaScript or FormCalc

Hi All,
I have a few amount fields in my Adobe form. I want to calculate their sum and show it in another textfield. Any ideas how this is done using JavaScript or FormCalc.???
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
you cant use JavaScript here in Web Dynpro. But if you want to calculate the sum through a button click that can be done through the Action Handler method.
Suppose you have 2 fields to add whichare field1 and filed2 in the context tree and the sum will be shown in field3 of context tree - all of numeric data type - obviously. So you can do the following in the action handler method.
int sum = wdContext.currentContextElement().getField1() +
wdContext.currentContextElement().getField2();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFields3(sum);

How can I use javascript in a Text Area with HTML editor??

My question is... how can I use javascript in Text Area with HTML editor??
I can use javascript functions that change the content of Text Areas but i can´t if i try in text area with html editor....
I need to limit number of characters in a text area with html editor and i can´t.
could anybody help me please?

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

How do I use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection from a drop down box?

Greetings,
I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I am trying to figure out how to add some basic automation features to an Adobe form. I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" that will contain approximately 7 possible selections. When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the text field (called "Hospital_Address") below the drop down box populate with the corresponding address for the selection. I have the "Hospital_Address" text field configured for multiple lines and would like the address to have a line break between the street address and the city/state/zip.
For example, if the user selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:
123 Main St
Anytown, CA 12345
Any help or examples you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You have the element names within the object within brackets.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
// Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
var Location = {
"--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
"Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },
"CHI Bergan Mercy":{ line1: "7500 Mercy Road", line2: "Omaha, NE 68124" },
"CHI Immanuel":{ line1: "6901 N. 72nd Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68122" },
"CHI Lakeside":{ line1: "16901 Lakeside Hills Court", line2: "Omaha, NE 68130" },
"CHI Midlands":{ line1: "11111 S. 84th Street", line2: "Papillion, NE 68046" },
"Creighton University Medical Center":{ line1: "601 N. 30th Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68131" },
"Nebraska Medical Center":{ line1: "4400 Emile Drive", line2: "Omaha, NE 68105" }
// some debugging code to see location names;
console.show();console.clear():
for(I in Location) {
console.println(I);
// end debugging code;
function SetFieldValues(Hospital_Name) {
    this.getField("AddLine1").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line1;
    this.getField("AddLine2").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line2;
This is not a beginners task but requires a fair amount of knowledge about the structure of objects, defining strings, and structure of arrays.
Are you sure you have all the field names correctly spelled and capitalized?
Do you get any error in the JavaScript console?
Just trying the line that defines the "Location", I get the following error:
SyntaxError: invalid property id
1:Console:Exec
undefined
All the form field in a PDF are processed by using JavaScript and any error in any script will stop JavaScript processing.
It might help to have a link to the problem form.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
// Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
var Location = {
"--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
"Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },

How can I use JavaScript extention functions with Xalan for transforming XML with XSL

While transforming standart XML and XSL files to HTML with this servlet:
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.mozilla.javascript;
public class Servlet2 extends HttpServlet
private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html; charset=windows-1252";
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
super.init(config);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws ServletException, IOException
try
response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/aaa.xml"));
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new FileReader("c:/bbb.xsl"));
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
transformer.transform (xmlSource, new StreamResult(out));
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
everything is going ok,
but when try to use javascript function in XSL file, for example like in this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"

return d.toUTCString();
</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p><xsl:copy-of select="my-ext:getdate()"/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
recieve error-message:
XSL-1000: (Fatal Error) Error while parsing XSL file (Extension function namespace should start with 'http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/'.).
What kind of namespace I should specify?

Hello, Paul.
I'm sure you may not use JavaScript as a language for creating XSLT extention functions with Oracle XDK Parser. This is since parser might have JavaScript interpreter to work with JavaScript, but it has not.
If you need to build any XSLT extention functions you must build them as Java class' static methods.
After that, you define the usage of the class by mean of namespace declaration as:
xmlns:your-ns="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/yourpackage.Yourclass"
(Prefix "http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/" may differs if you use non-Oracle XML parser)
and use class' static method in XSLT:
<xsl:value-of select="your-ns.staticMethodName(paramsIfAny)"/>
In your case you may wish to use standard Date class:
xmlns:date="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.util.Date"
<xsl:value-of select="date:toString(date:new)"/>

How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

Hi there.
According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
i.e.:
var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
This same code works in Internet Explorer.

You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

How do i use an active directory group for vpn and not all user

hi all,
i have an asa 5515x...
how do i use a particular group in active directory to have vpn/anyconnect access? right now i believe it's for all user on my current config,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!integrate with active directory
aaa-server LDAPSERVERS protocol ldap
aaa-server LDAPSERVERS (vlan192) host 10.0.0.2
ldap-base-dn dc=company,dc=com
ldap-scope subtree
ldap-naming-attribute sAMAccountName
ldap-login-password 12345678
ldap-login-dn cn=administrator,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com
server-type auto-detect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
say i want this "vpn-group" object group in AD and my vpn is only anyconnect and no other vpn types.
thanks for any comment you may add.

The best way is to use Dynamic Access Policies (DAP). Cisco has a white paper (here) that shows how one can choose the LDAP group as one of the DAP criteria.
DAP requires the Advanced Endpoint Assessment feature, so your licensing must support that.

How can i use NI's VXI-1394 controller to control the CONDOR's VXI-1553B module?

Now I want to use the NI's VXI-1394 to control a CONDOR's VXI-1553B module.But I did a test and found that the NI's VXI-1394 can not control that module.The VXI-PCI8015 can control the VXI-1553B module.
But I have a VXI-1394 module and I want to use that to control the CONDOR's VXI-1553B module.How can I do that?Give me a hand,please.

Hello Lincoln,
Judging by the fact that you mention the VXIpc-8015, I am deducing that you are using the VXI-MXI-2 card under Windows NT. Is that correct?
Under Windows NT, the VXI-MXI-2 board and the VXI-1394 need to use different versions of the NI-VXI driver.
The VXI-PC-8015 (MXI-2) should be using NI-VXI v3.2, while the VXI-1394 needs to use a special version of the driver (v2.1.1) because Windows NT does not natively support the IEEE 1394 protocol.
The issue may simply be the wrong driver, but if it is not, we will need to know more information about your system.
1a. What version of NI-VXI are you using with the VXI-1394
1b. What version of NI-VXI are you using with the VXI-MXI-2)
2. What OS are you running?
3. How are you attempting to communi
cate with the CONDOR device?
4a. What configuration utility are you attempting to use with the VXI-1394
4b. What configuration utility are you attempting to use with the VXI-MXI-2
5. Is the CONDOR device register based or message based VXI device?
6. Have you used NI-Spy? If so, can you generate NI-Spy logs that might help debug this issue? There is a quick tutorial on NI-Spy here.
Start with these steps, and let us know how it goes. Thank you!

HT5429 How can I use this app in India? It does not show me precise navigation direction here at all?

How do I use new apple maps (GPS) upgraded in the iOS 6 of my 4S model. It is neither showing me precise location of my whereabouts nor giving me driving directions to the defined locations. I even tried putting very prominent locations near me, but it said maps server not responding. How to solve this problem? can I get the older version of maps?

The Apple Maps app will get better over time. And we will see this with each subsequent iOS upgrade. It will take time. There is nothing we can do, execept wait. Sorry.
Remember, when the original Apple/Google maps came out in the original iPhone, five plus years ago, it was garbage and pretty much unusable.

The page at docviewer at my company's website displays this error when using FireFox but not hwne using I.E. "ERROR: JAS MiscUtils AX Control not installed!"

When using Fire Fox to view documents at my company's website, the following message occurs:
"ERROR: JAS MiscUtils AX Control not installed!"
This error does not occur when I use I.E.

That error message probably refers to a missing ActiveX control, which is why it doesn't work in Firefox but does in Internet Explorer.
