How to move the cursor to a text field

Hello,
I have a log in window with Username (Text field) and password (Secure Text field). The 'Log In' button is not enabled if I use the Set command. So I wish to use the Keystroke.
But I need to make sure that Cursor is in the text field and then to keystroke. So how can I move the cursor to the required text filed?
Note:
+Why the cursor is not blinking in the text field where I just 'SET' (command)+
+the value?+

Well, for a start you can identify the application you're working in. That's kind of important.
In most cases you can just emulate a press of the tab key but it's kind of a crude a approach (there's no guarantee that you're in the field you expect). Certain applications, though, may have better ways of achieving it, but since we don't know what application you're using we can't say if that's the case here.

How to move the cursor in a text input programatically

Hi,
I am using a TextInput field and a my own keyboard UI with buttons for each alphabet.
When the user presses buttons on the keyboard UI, i populate the TextInput field through data binding.
But I would want the cursor to move as the characters are entered in the field at the same time.
So, how do I move the cursor using actionscript code?
thanks,
Sunil

In that case you need to programmatically insert the text at the selection point. You get the selection point using the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties. I have an app where I do that, using this code:
// textInput is the name of the TextInput control
private function insertTextAtSelection(text:String):void
     var start:int = textInput.selectionBeginIndex;
     var end:int = textInput.selectionEndIndex;
     var hasSelection:Boolean = start != end;
      textInput.text = textInput.text.substring(0, start) + text + textInput.text.substring(end);
     if (hasSelection)
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = start;
         textInput.selectionEndIndex = start + text.length;
     else
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = textInput.selectionEndIndex = end + text.length;
This is what the code does:
gets the starting and ending positions of the insertion point (in case the user has an active selection rather than just an insertion point).
concatenates the old text with the new text and writes it into the text input
restores the user's previous selection or insertion point (In this case I'm setting the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties rather than calling setSelection(), but the end result is the same.)

How to position the cursor in a text

I there a better way to position the cursor in a text portion other than trying it several times until the OS picks the right space? I know the iPad has a good way to do it by zooming in.
Or is RIM working on it.....

I've been pretty successful at getting the cursor to hit where I want in text entry boxes.
Maybe some more practice will make perfect. Worked for me, until I got used to,and then again maybe my using a touchscreen smartphone, the process just comes second nature for me.

you can do that when your flash has focus. (how you do it depends

Retaining the cursor on a Text Field when error on the field

Hi,
We have a requirement, where when we tab out of a text field, the data entered gets validated and exceptions are caught using array list and then thrown on top of the page.
However, we have a requirement, that on tab out, the cursor should remain in the same field in case there are errors thrown on that field otherwise should move to the next field.
My Approach is
1) Capture the tabout event in PFR.
2) If the validation returns erorr messages, do a forwardImmediately to CurrentPage
3) Set the focus in PR and throw the exception.
I read the discussion on the link How to set focus on a textinput/poplist using PPR
and tried the same approach but below are my observations.
Approach - 1) WITH FIRE PARTIAL ACTION on text field.
Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown and I am not able to see the cursor.
Input = Valid , then I see the cursor in the next text field, which is correct.
Approach - 2) WITH FIRE ACTION
Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown, the text in the textfield looks selected, which is the required functionality.
Input = Valid, then still I see the same text as selected. Here I dont want the text to be selected and want the cursor to move to the next field. This is not happening.
Please let me know where exactly I am committing the mistake.
Thanks
Saurabh

How to calculate the size of a Text Field?

Is there a way to calculate the number of characters allow in a Text Field? If a uer type over this number of characters a popup window will appear telling the user that he/she has too much texts. Of course I could use the Limit Length, but I have to manually put texts into this text field and count them. If the Limit Lenth number is too small, the texts does not fill the whole text field. If the number is too big then the texts does not get printed.

There would be no easy way to do this. You'd need to do some pretty fancy calculations, it would all depend on the size of the field, what font is used, the font size, whether it's been bolded, underlined, italicized, etc etc.
What are you trying to accomplish? Make it so that the user can type in the text field until it fills and then have it stop without scroll bars coming up to allow him to keep typing?

When using my macbook pro online via safari the arrow keys will not move the cursor in a text box if I have used the track pad to zoom in. They will only move the screen from left to right. They used to move the cursor around a sentence regardless of zoom

Im running mountain lion and all software is up to date on my mac book pro, late 2010 model.

Thanks, but this didn't work. I only turned extensions on for the first time last evening and this problem has been happening before that. I tried it anyway but the same results.

How to change the font in a text field?

I am trying to recreate a file like this:
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Thank-You-Cards-for-Volunteers-Freebie-Editable Customizable-696763
I originally created the file in Powerpoint, saved as a PDF, brought it into Adobe Pro XI for Mac. I edit it in forms, and add a text form field, which inserts a blue box, with text1 in the middle. How do I replace that with different font and size, in the above example, she has a different font in a larger size. When I look at the properties, I am limited up to 8 point font. I have been at this for hours now, so any help would be greatly appreciated, especially step by step. Thanks.

Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
go to Font
choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
Do this with each field.
Or if you have a lot of fields:
while one is selected select all of them
then go to fonts in properties
change Font and size and make default.

How to get the handle of all text fields in the subforms, using script

Hi Friends,
I have around 20 fields in a subform, how can i get the names of all the fields using script.
I wish to enhance the following script where the field names are hard coded
thereby the script itself will get the names of the field names.
var f1 = this.parent.somExpression + ".TextField2" + ",";
var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".DropDownList1" + ",";
var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".NumericField1";
xfa.host.resetData(f3);
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
JJ

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your comments.
I achieved the clear contents by resetting, by taking input from your thoughts..
form1.sub1.sub2.sub3.table_1.addDelete_Top.addDelete.deleteRow::click - (JavaScript, client)
//Here is my code finally look like..
//row 1, table_1 are also subforms
for (var i=1;i<10;i++){
var myRow = this.resolveNode("table_1.row1[" + i + "]");
if(myRow.presence == "hidden"){
i = i-1;
var myRowDelete = this.resolveNode("table_1.row1[" + i + "]");
if(i!=0){
xfa.host.resetData(myRowDelete.somExpression);
myRowDelete.presence = "hidden";
break;
if(i==9){
xfa.host.resetData(myRow.somExpression);
myRow.presence = "hidden";
break;
Thanks

How to put cursor in a text field

hi,
I have a text field in my jsf page.By default I want to put the cursor into this text field.when a letter is entered into this text field,the data table below this text field must change depending upon the value entered into the text field.After this change also,the cursor must be in the same text field.
how it is possible.
when I entered any letter in this field,there is a call to the server.the cursor must be in that textfield after the call.

Use DOM+JS.
With element.focus() you can set the focus on the desired element.
With the 'onkeypress' attribute you can execute some piece of Javascript on every key press, for example submitting the form or doing an AJAX request.
