How to make dropdown menu selection create more text fields?

I did some searching and am unable to find an answer for this. It could be because I don't know the name of what I'm trying to do (I'm a total LiveCycle Designer noob). I tried to find guides but they seem to be for newer versions of Designer (I'm using 8.2) so I'll ask here:
I'd like specific text fields to appear after a pulldown menu option is selected (empty fields w/ the captions already filled in). How can I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance!

The script I see when I click on the dropdown menu in question:
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::initialize - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::enter - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::exit - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::validate - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::preOpen - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::postOpen - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::mouseEnter - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::mouseExit - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::change - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::full - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::mouseUp - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::mouseDown - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::click - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::preSave - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::postSave - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::prePrint - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::postPrint - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::preSubmit:form - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::postSubmit:form - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::docReady - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::docClose - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::ready:form - (FormCalc, client)
form1.#subform[0].DropDownList4::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)

  • Pulldown selection creates new text field in a form

    I have a set of dynamic select menus that are built using Kaosweaver's http://www.kaosweaver.com/extensions/details.php?id=88
    Thanks to Kaosweaver, it works fine.  However, I was wondering how someone could have an extra text field popup in a form if certain values from a list/menu are selected.  In my case it would be from the 2nd half of the dependent drop down but I would assume the logic would be the same even if someone was not using a dynamic select but instead just a regular list/menu.
    Is this possible?  I am using Dreamweaver CS4.  Also if there is an alternate strategy to use in this situation then I would like to hear suggestions.  The basic premise is that a couple values in a select list would need an additional text field to be collected for the form.

    Thanks for replying!
    You know the weirdest thing just happened....I opened the PDF again to make sure it's the correct one to upload and have you take a look and as if by magic, I typed into the fields and now it doesn't disappear!!! I didn't restart any App, nor did I reboot my Mac....weird!!!!! Anyhow, I guess there is no longer an issue. I need a few minutes to finish the form and then I'll check to see if the issue comes up again. If it does, I will definitely upload the PDF and have you take a look at it.
    Thanks again!!

  • How to make a JPanel selectable

    When extending a JPanel and overriding the paintComponent() method the custom JPanel can not be selected so that it gets for example KeyEvents.
    But if I make the new Class extend a JButton it gets of course selected and able to receive for example KeyEvents.
    My question is therefore; what does the JButton implement that a JPanel doesn’t so that a JButton gets selectable? Or in other words; how to make a JPanel selectable?
    Aleksander.

    Try this extended code. Only the first panel added can get the Focus.
    import java.awt.*;

      public ImagePanel()
        setFocusable(true);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,300));
        try{img = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new java.net.URL(getClass().getResource("Test.gif"), "Test.gif"));}

  • In JSF, how to make a menu with access control?

    Thanks

    I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
    For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay.  Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
    You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
    By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

  • HOw DO I delete apps to create more storage so I can back up

    HOw can I delete apps to create more storage or delete videos or photos from iphone. I have deleted some from my Mac desk top already. They should be deleting on all devices,right. PLEASE ADVISE ASAP

    If you're talking about backing up to iCloud, deleting Apps is almost irrelevant.  Apps aren't backed up to iCloud.  App Data is, but that's usually a small amount.  Plus, you can control what gets backed up to iCloud.  Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > This Device.  Then, turn off whatever data you don't want backed up to iCloud.  Usually, Photos & Videos take up the most space.
    You can turn that off, and simply import your Photos & Videos to your computer for safekeeping.
    Also, you can increase your iCloud storage from the free 5GB to +10 GB ($20/year), +20 GB ($40/year) or +50 GB GB ($100/year).

  • Does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box?

    does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box? I’m making an interactive pdf for an order form (attached), and I need to find a way for the “total quantity” number to multiply by 9 and total in the “Amount Due” box.

    Hey Gary,
    Have a look at this post: Re: horizontal scrolling similar to excel
    Andy's reply will show you how to make a table scroll horizontally, but it will be tough to accomplish it in some sort of easily replicable way. I am working on a JQuery extension that will help accomplish this, but I have had my time invested in another project at the moment.
    Good Luck,

  • How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

    Hello all,
    How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
    I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
    All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
    Declare
    v_valid boolean;
    Begin
    IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    END IF;
    return v_valid;
    END;
    My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
    Thanks

    See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..

  • When does a selection in a text field in a Finder window lose focus?

    Hello,
    this problem has emerged on account of an Applescript file that needs to access a text selection (portion of a filename highlighted) in an open Finder window.
    The bare minimum code to demonstrate the problem is this:
    *tell application "System Events"*
    * *tell process "Finder"*
    * *set selText to value of attribute "AXSelectedText" of text field 1*
    * *end tell*
    *end tell*
    other variants also exist, using "keystroke" but that does not work either. I am not asking help with Applescript here, it is here only to give a sense of the problem.
    My conclusion thus far is that the selection lose focus before the script process can access it. In the best case I get the full filename by using "attribute" and copy of the alias onto the clipboard by using "keystroke".
    So my problem is this:
    It seems that the focus stays alive when one clicks on a menubar item, any click on any other item on the desktop, including windows of irrelevant applications, changes the focus from the selection within the text field corresponding to a filename, to the filename itself.
    And my question is this:
    Is there a changeable setting within the OS that has to do with how long the focus stays alive on a selection within a text field corresponding to a filename? If yes, how do I change it?
    Thanks

    Thanks for clarifying. Never heard it called a text field, just a label. So, exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Is it that you want AS to select the file, highlight its label so you can edit/change it with some other text? If so, have you checked out the Finder scripts installed on the machine, especially the Finder script *Add to Finder Names*?
    UI Element Inspector calls the activated/editable filename a text field.
    Actually I want to modify one of the stock Finder scripts. I want to be able to select part of the file name in the active text field of the Finder window, then activate the script, *have the script pick up the selection* as a text string then use it internally.
    The bolded step is the one in question.
    Every attempt fails on the fact that the focus is lost from the "text field" and it reverts to the label for the filename, if I may use this distinction, (or to "FinderItem" in the parlance of UIEI) as soon as another process begins, it seems. So when the script becomes active, but before any of the commands is executed, the selection disappears.
    My guess is that it is not some absolute necessity but a setting that perhaps can be changed somehow.

  • Creating new text field dynamically

    Hi,
    can anybody let me know how can we create new text fields dynamically in JSF.
    Basically the GUI will have a button/command link ,when clicked should create a new text field and then when the user enters any value in the new text fileld the formbean should be able to capture the value.
    so the user will have the choice of creating any number of text fields depending on the requirement.
    is javascript the only solution for this or can we do this JSF also?
    Thanks in advance.

    You may find this article useful then: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html]. The 'add new row' example is described here: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html#AddNewRowsToDatatable]. If it concerns only one field, just use only one column. You can for instance even use List<String> instead of a List<RowObject>.
