How to use Siri on OS X to enter test into a browser field?

Siri on ML lets you enter text into Notes, but I'm trying to use it to enter text into a gDoc, or other browser field. I can get it to listen (fn^2) but what I say seems to go into outer space -- I think that it's trying to let me do voice commands, but I just want to type into a selected web page field (in particular, in this case, a gDoc that I'm editing). (My very ugly, but sort of amusing workaround for this is to open the same doc on my iPad using Google Drive, and then use the iPad's Siri to "type" into the doc on the iPad, and by the magic of simultaneous sharing, it shows up on the doc on my laptop as well! :-) Anyway, so how can I get Siri to let me enter text by voice into the browser directly?

Seeing how you have a laptop, not a workstation, the forum you want are here:

You think maybe that Safari or 3rd party apps have t o be programmed and "taught" to look for voice input?

How to use wsit with jeveloper for developing and testing web servises

hi, all. Just want to ask one realy simple quastion.
I'm new with web servises, so my question may be doesn't fall well into this section , but this community looks friendly for me and i hope to get some usefull links and advises.
First of all could anybody say me if i'm righ or wrong with the following suggestions:
1. What is the principal difference between axis 2 and wsit products? Do i understand right that they both extend or support so called jax-ws2 API and represent different approaches in that (are they competitors?), or this products serve for different sakes at all and could be used together? I want to understand without much digging how these products correlate with each other...
2. If i'm right what is oracle favor? And if oas standard supply doesn't include wsit, how to install and use this product for creating interoperable web servises in jdeveloper enviroment? ...or jax-ws 2.1 wasn't included in oc4j v10 and will be the part of v11 only?
Thanks in advance. Alex.

Both Axis and WSIT are not Oracle products - so I'm not exactly sure why would you post the question here.
JDeveloper has native support for JAX-RPC based Web services development in 10.1.3 and JAX-WS support in 11 - check out the online demos linked from the home page to see these in action.

How to use Tree control like a Tree in SAP HANA Live Browser?

Hello SDN!
I need a Tree control such as following:
As I understand, there is no such standard control in SAPUI5 control library. Is it possible to use this control? If yes, how I can embed it in my app?
Regards,
Lev

Hi Sandip!
Thanks for your tip. I've applied this example to my app. Tree is working now, but this is a little problem - on each expand/collapse and click on treeItem the onAfterRendering() method called. It means that the complete rerender of tree executed which looks not good. How I can avoid this?

How to use Directory Utility to make a local test domain?

I need to set up wildcard subdomains for a test domain of acegamingsyndicate.test and I can only find guides that use the netinfo utility, which has been removed from Leopard and replaced with the Directory Utility.
How would I add acegamingsyndicate.test so that I can use wildcard subdomains? acegamingsyndicate.test itself works, after I added it in the hosts file, but subdomains are not working so I don't think that it should be in the hosts file. In fact I'm nearly positive it's not supposed to go in the hosts file.

You don't use Directory Utility.
Directory Utility is used to bind the server to a directory server - typically used for user accounts and the like. It's not used for hostnames.
Also, as you've noted, you can't use /etc/hosts to create wildcard records.
What you need is a DNS server.
Mac OS X includes one (BIND), but it is managed via traditional text file editing in the command line, not via a GUI app. Mac OS X Server adds a GUI, but it doesn't sound like you're running that.
So the question is, how comfortable are you using the command line and is manually configuring the DNS server something you think you're up for?

How to use own style sheet in user interface templates to change buttons, fields look

I want to use my own style sheet to change the appearance of buttons, form fields etc. while applying my own user interface template. I know I can create an unstructured UI template to change logos, body color etc. but how do I apply css to buttons, fields generated by the portal components form wizard ?
If this is not possible, how do I create my own form and get the same functionalities of a wizard generated form ?
Thanks.

Mrinal,
I have solved that problem fortunately.
What I did was to create my own unstructured user interface template. In the unstructured UI template, you can use style.
for example, in between the <head> tags, write <style> tages and create own classes for buttons, textboxes etc.
Then write a javascript to assign those classes to the buttons. Call the javascript function on OnLoad event in <BODY> tag.
That will do the job.
for example you have a style class called buttonclass for buttons.
<script langauge=javascript1.1>
function setstyle(form) {
for (var i=0; i<form.length; i++) {
if (form.elements.type == 'button') {
form.elements[i].className = "buttonclass";
</script>
<BODY onLoad = "setstyle(document.forms[0]);">
hope this helps.

How to use the llb library to add many vi into it??

>>i have design a program with labview 8. now, I want to celect all of my vis into a library.
>>I can use llb manager to create a library, but i found every time i can only add one vi to my library.
>>From "view>> vi hierarchy" I can see all the vi my use. there are to many to add.
>>how to select & simply to add all of my vis', I mean which one I have to add or not,so that I will not miss any vi.

First of all, unless you just want to distribute the llb, saving a project into one is a bad, bad idea. A single corrupt VI can corrupt the entire llb, making all of your work corrupt. Development should be done with VIs in folders like you have. An llb is also not compatible with source code control. The forum has numerous posts from people asking for help in recovering a corrupt llb.
The warning being given, you can easily create an llb with all subVIs by opening the main VI and doing a Save with Options>Development Distribution. The VI Library Manager can be used to convert an entire folder into an llb but if the folder contains VIs not used, they will get included also. If you can any VIs dynamically, you will have to manually add them.
Reread what I said at the top.

How to use Automator to batch convert xls/xlsx files into tab OR pipe delimited text file.

If you have answer, please provide specific and detailed steps.
Situation 1:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT "Tab"
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to TAB-DELIMITED file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is TAB-DELIMITED
Situation 2:
Start:
150+ files in .xls OR .xlsx format
data contains many characters EXCEPT | (pipe, vertical bar)
Process:
Use Automator to:
Select Files from Finder window
Convert selected files from xls/xlsx to |-delimited file format
End:
150+ files in .txt format
files have identical names to those from "Start:"
data is "|"-delimited

If your post is addressed to my response then the answer is you have to write your own or search on-line to see if something exists to do what you want.
As you note there is no pre-built script for this.
regards
