How to submit page by hitting "enter" in a text field - Solution
Hi,
I had this problem yesterday and thought it may come in handy for others who run into the same issue.
My page had 2 text fields. Upon hitting enter in either of the boxes I wanted the page to submit. When only 1 text field was present it worked, however once the second field was added this stopped working.
After reading a bit (http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/formquestion.html) I fount that "When there is only one single-line text input field in a form, the user agent should accept Enter in that field as a request to submit the form.". This would explain why it worked with only 1 field, but not with 2.
After doing some testing I found that to make it work with 2 or more text fields, I needed to add a submit button. This is not the same as a button in APEX. In APEX "button" just has a onClick call to a submit function. You need a native HTML submit button.
In order to do that I created text field. Deleted the label, and set the static value to "Search" (this was for my search application). In the page attributes I added the following:
< script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("P1_SEARCH_SUBMIT").type="submit";
< / script >
Note: I added extra spaces in the tags so they would display properly.
This function changes the button type to submit.
Now when I have 2 or more text forms it submits when I hit enter in either one.

How to add bullet on every enter event in text field
Hello, Can someone please point me in the right direction. I am trying to add a bullet every time someone presses enter on the keyboard. this is within a textfield.
Thank you,
HowardHi
I would solve it by a script that checks your multiline field for newlines by ENTER key and insert "* " in the beginning of each line.
1) create a multiline field in your form
2) insert the script below in exit event... and enjoy the magic ;)
just 7 lines of code without comments. The split function is very powerful, I really use it alot now!
===== script start =====
//value of the field to insert "* " in each line
var sFldValue = this.rawValue;
//you split text in field for each '\r' = newLines made with enter
var tmpFldArray = sFldValue.split("\r");
//tmp string you concat your out text in
var sOutStr = "";
//for each line of text insert '* ' in beginning
for(var i = 0; i < tmpFldArray.length; i++){
//need to add '\r' because split removed it
sOutStr += "* " + tmpFldArray[i] + "\r";
//return manipulated string to your field
this.rawValue = sOutStr;
===== script end =====

Please let me know will it be possible using personalization? Or I have to customize the controller extend it?

When I type a URL into the location bar, I have to click on the green arrow at the right end of the location bar for the new page to load. In previous versions of Firefox you just hit enter to load the new page.
This didn't help my problem. When I restart Firefox in Safe Mode, the problem goes away but none of the other troubleshooting tips help. I noticed today that when I start Firefox in normal mode, I get this error: "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined." It's a Javascript error, and I also noticed that when I go to the Gmail page in normal mode the cursor isn't automatically placed in the username field like usual. When I start Firefox in safe mode it does this, however.

How does one replace carriage returns (enter key) in text areas
I have an address text area in one of my pages where end users are hitting enter after each part of the address. I want to replace the carriage return hex('0A') with spaces. How can I do that?
If you're manually saving your data, you can just change your insert/update code as below:
insert into myTable
(myCol)
values
(replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' '))
where ...If you're building a page where you aren't directly saving your data, you can add an "on Submit/Before Computation" process that does something like:
:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA := replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' '); -

How do I add a new page dynamically base on the expendable text field?
Hi, All,
I've created a form with flow subform and expendable text fields. When the user fills out lengthy content, the form get cut off. Is there a way to dynamically add pages base on the content that user fills in the expendable text field?
Thanks,May be you need check some things..
1) See if the form is saved as Dynamic PDF form.
2) The TextField should be set the "Expand to Fit" Check box checked in the Height property.
3) The subform that contains the TextField should set to Auto Fit for Height.
Thanks

Query a view w/data entered into a text field populated by 2 table fields
Hello, Looking for advise!!! I have a tabular canvas thats datablock uses a view to populate. In this canvas I have a text field that has been populated with first_name || ' ' || last_name in the database node of the property pallate column name. The text field is not in the table or view. I have created it in the data block and make it a database item. However, I would like to have the user push a search button to go into ENTER_QUERY mode then the user would enter the criteria to search on in this text field. The user would then push button to EXECUTE_QUERY. The result is I retrieve all records. I want any search criteria entered into this field to be used against the last_name field to retrieve any records equal to the search criteria entered, for example A%. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Hi!
You have to use PRE-QUERY trigger to compose the search criteria. Below I put an example of it. You have to have at least one item in the block wich is true database item (e.g. it has to exist in table or view on which your block is based). In the following example EMP_DESC is your non-database search item and EMP_ID is the database one.
Declare
Dummy VARCHAR2 (2000);
begin
if :EMP.EMP_DESC IS NOT NULL and :EMP.EMP_ID IS NULL
then
Dummy := '#IN (SELECT emp_id FROM Employees WHERE Upper (emp_first_name)||'' ''||Upper (emp_sec_name) LIKE Upper (''%'||:EMP.EMP_DESC||'%''))';
Copy (Dummy, 'EMP.EMP_ID');
end if;
end;
Thats it. Note the # sign in the first position of the Dummy assignment. This is required by forms to glue your search criteria and block's where clause. You may analize LAST_QUERY property of your block in order to understand how this work. Remember also to set the QUERY_LENGTH property of the EMP_DESC item to the value that could contain the whole Dummy string (otherwise it will give you an error and cut the mar the query).
Hope this helps.
Sergey.
P.S. And set your EMP_DESC database item property to NO. -
How to create a pdf/a-1b with a text field
hello, I'm trying to execute a very simple task: create a pdf/a-1b containig a text field.
using Acrobat XI pro, I created a simple pdf form with 1 form field of type text , then tried to save as pdf/A-1b. The pdf is saved but the form field is removed from resulting pdf.
Here in detail the steps I made:
0) configure adobe pdf printer to save as pdf/A-1b
1) creat a test.txt with notepad
2) print using acrobat pdf printer
3) open the generated pdf with Acrobat XI
4) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf conform
5) now go to 'Tools\Modules' and 'Modify'
6) add a textbox field
7) exit from 'Modify' mode and save
8) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf doesn't conform.
9) I opened the preflight tool and see two errors
a) "XMP property for a page object not predefined and no extension schema present".
page reports the following Trigger values:
- Extension schema is present in XMP: is not true
- Property exists in PDF/A Standard: is not true
b) Form field does not have an appearance dictionary
page reports the following Trigger values:
- Form field has an appearance dictionary: is not true
I'm quite new to Acrobat: simply downloaded the Actobat XI evaluation version, created the file and added the text field. No special settings nor other configurations was applied,
I'm wondering if someone else was able to reproduce this behavior.
thank you for any commentFirst, about invalidating the PDF/A. I was told, but never had this confirmed nor tested, that editing a PDF/A will automatically cause the PDF/A status to be deleted from the file. This is because Acrobat does not know about the compatibility of every edit with every current (and future) PDF subset standard, so it is safest just to remove the indicator - if you turn off Adobe's PDF/A view mode which will prevent editing anyway.
Now, you have a problem with the signatures. Possibly a very big one. Your description "2) fill the text field with some annotations and then sign the signature field 3) save the pdf" is a little too separated. At the time a file is signed it is saved, the hash calculated, and written to the file. So signing and saving are just one action. Yet an unsigned digital signature needs, it seems to me, no appearance.
I think the solution is a simple one. Sign it, but not with a signature field. If it is PDF/A when you start it is probably PDF/A when you finish. Signature fields seem a distraction and obstacle to the important thing, signing. -
How do I embed multiple font outlines in dynamic text field
Can anyone tell me how I can embed multiple font outlines in
Flash MX so I can get smooth text in a dynamic
text frame? I want to use Regular, bold and italic in various
parts of the text.
I was using the Character button in the properties manager
and tried to include all Characters. That does not work.
In the Properties manager I can choose Bold and/or Italic.
But it becomes a universal setting that overrides my HTML tags in
my external txt file that I am importing. I dont want all my text
to be bold.
If I dont select them in the properties, however, Flash will
not embed the font that it needs.
Is there a different way to embed fonts other than under the
Character Tab?
I tried to import fonts to the library, but can not select
them.
Your help would really be appreciated.

How does one change a "rollover" value in a text field of a fillable PDF?
I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values. I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company. I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how. I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.
When you click on the field, right click to properties. If the tab isn't there then go to the top toolbar, click on Window and it should appear in the list there. Once you click on it in the Window menu it will appear as a tab on your properties box.

ADF Mobile: How to change the font size of an Input Text field in .amx view
Is there a way to change the font size of the input data (not the label) in a text field? Changing the font size in the Style Font/Text settings doesn't seem to do anything for the label or the value in the input text field. Is this a bug or is there a way to get this to work?
Hi Anna,
depending on the UI element there are a range of ways. (and I'm sure people will post plenty of answers to tell you how).
However, if generically the fonts in you portal/wd applications are too small, you should consider changing your theme so as to have larger texts. Otherwise you will either need to customise all your applications, or you will get quite a lot of inconsistency of presentation between your various WDA applications.
Do a search on "themes for Web Dynpro ABAP" and you'll find loads of resources.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Chris
