In making a form, I've used buttons for user to select a state. Can I make it go to cities next?

I don't know the correct terminology, so I don't think that I've posed my question very well. Employees will be using the form that I'm trying to make, and I want for them to be able to select a city from a large number of cities, and for that city to ultimately show up on the form (not merely in the data that is output.)
I thought that the clearest way for them to select a city would be for them to start by selecting the pertinent state first. That would allow the list of cities in that state to be shorter and more manageable. So I'd like for them to be able to select a state, and then by virtue of that selection, have a list of cities pop up. I sort of achieved that by using buttons for the states, and then under "actions", I chose "open a file". Then I set it up to open a file that contained the cities that are options,and set each city with a button.
The result is that it goes from my form to a second window, containing states and then to a third window, containing cities. (Actually, there are multiple "city" windows because there's a list of cities for each state.) But then I'd like for the city that they select to wind up being on my original form. Is there an "action" that I can choose that will make that happen?
Or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish? Maybe I'm just going about this all wrong(?) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thank you!

Yes, there is a much better way. I'd recommend using a combo box for the list of states. When the user selects a state, the list of associated cities would populate a second combo box, allowing the user to select a city. This type of functionality relies on JavaScript. If you are unfamiliar with with JavaScript in Acrobat, I'd suggest starting with the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
Ignore anything to do with LiveCycle Designer. If you get stuck, post again.

The buttons for the audiofiles are big. Can I make them smaller?

The buttons for the audiofiles are big. Can I make them smaller?
Is it possible to scrawl, while an audio file is playing on another page?
Thank you for your answers.

I'm afraid the audio is an 'on page' function and will cease playing if you change pages. As to the size of the audio buttons, it is possible to make an image up to replace the standard audio button, but be advised that this just starts the audio, it cannot be used to pause it like the standard button can.
The standard button is sized so that it is easy to hit with a finger - if you make it too small triggering the audio will become problematic.

I use yahoo for my emails. I would like to make a folder for an email. How do I do this?

If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

All 3 iPads will have to share the same 5GB of free iCloud space. Buy more space if necessary.
Suggest you give different name to each iPad to prevent confusion.

YEA! My jurryrig worked! To all with this problem:
You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first. So, yes, a lot of manual labor
The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it. I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this! Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
Here are the steps:
Select the file from your Podcast folder.
Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
Delete the file from the iTunes list.
Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

Form Builder Where-Used Button?

Hi,
I cannot find the where-used button in the Form Builder (transaction SFP). How can I find out where a form is used?
Thanks in advance.
/Elvez

Hi Elvez,
Nowhere the forms are hardcoded in the print programs.
If you wanna see any examples search se38 using the string fpexample or fptest.
Or use where used list for the function module FP_job_open.

Create a button for user to export report to Excel format

The report requirement is to access parameter and report output on the same page. I have successfully implemented a form in passing parameters to reports on the same page. However, users are also interested in having Excel output format to be accessible via a button on the same page. How can I acheive this in the additional pl/sql section of the reports? Thanks for your help!

would you be able to give some inputs for obtaining output in excel for a report which shows a graph.
Also do you have any idea on how to do color coding of a bar chart based on conditions,
say red if negative and green if positive?

Wait for user to select the OK button

For my application I cannot use a simple MessagePopup where the user must select the OK button to continue.
I created a new panel with just a text message and an OK button to act like a MessagePopup.
When I call InstallPopup and the Panel box pops up I want to wait until the user selects OK before continuing just like the MessagePopup.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks!
John W.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can use GetUserEvent () function. In the scenario you have depicted you must have all controls in the popup panel set as "Normal" and only the OK button set as "Hot" (The default control mode). The callback the must handle the panel can be structured like this:
int pnl, ctl, handle;
// some code here
// Code to handle the popup
handle = LoadPanel (.....)
InstallPopup (handle);
GetUserEvent (1, &pnl, &ctl); // Wait for the user to press OK button
DiscardPanel (handle);
// The rest of the code here

Adding Navigation Buttons for Users of PDF Documents

The default for Acrobat Reader (and even the Pro version)
seems to leave the Forward and Back navigation buttons OFF the
Acrobat Reader tool bar. You have to deliberately go into the Tools
- Customize Tools menu and turn on these two buttons in order for
them to appear in the tool bar. This creates problems for readers
of your PDF documents if the readers of your documents aren't very
computer savy. If you have links in your PDF document so readers
can navigate around, not having the Forward and Back buttons up on
the tool bar as a default makes these links almost useless. The
reader has to know how to turn these two buttons on and some
readers may not have a clue how to do that.
My question: Is there a way to put 2 navigation buttons on a
reader's toolbar AUTOMATICALLY when they open your document--ie,
something embedded in the PDF doc that automatically turns these
buttons on for the reader so they don't have to do it
themselves?

Hello, I'm trying to use Firefox for Android on Nook HD+. Can't find Home button to set up Home Screen.

I want to be able to start with and return to the Home Screen but I don't have one because I can't set one up using the Home Screen Button. Please help, thanks, Tony.

Hello,
Could you please specify your problem? Are you trying to get to the "awesome screen" (firefox home on android) If so, you just close your current tab or open a new tab. To do this, tap the top left of your screen in Firefox. This is to the left of the back button. Now you either slide down a tab to close it, or tap the "+" sign at the top left while at your tab area. And also, there is no exact home button while in Firefox for android, only in desktop Firefox (at least there used to be). Hope this helps in some way!

I have a Toolbar, but no button for' Tools', why? and how can I get it?

on the Right top is a star for Bookmarks, below that is a green wheel which I thought would be "Tools", but its not. It's 'Toolbar Settings' I can't find the Tools button.

I guess the green wheel might be the "WOT" extension doesn't sound like something in Firefox.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

I can use iMessage with all iPhone uses except for ONE person. That person can use iMessage with all other users, but not with ME. What's the problem???

I can use iMessage with all other iPhone users that I communicate with, except for ONE person. When I send to that person, it always goes through as a text message. This person can use iMessage with pther people, but when they send me a message, it always goes as a text. Why can we both communicate with other people using iMessage, but not with one another?

Hi Russell,
1) If you have OD set up and "editor" has UID 1111, then when they log in to any machine that's bound to OD as editor, they will get UID 1111. Therefore, there won't be any of these permission errors. This is typically the recommended approach.
2) I assume you mean "You'd prefer to not using open directory?" Whatever the case, OD isn't mandatory with Xsan -- it's just that with multiple user accounts, managing them centrally tends to be easier. For 3 or 4 accounts and 3 or 4 machines maybe it's no big deal. If you go larger, it could get a lot more complicated. That said, if you set it up such that each machine has the exact same set of users (as you said, Mary = UID 502, Fred = UID 503, William = UID 504), then you can do what you want. Mary can log in from multiple machines at the same time, and in general you won't have permissions problems. Of course, if you try and read and write the same file from multiple workstations at the same time, you will get file locking issues, which will prohibit somebody from successfully writing the file.
File locking issues are different from general permissions errors. The former basically says "hey, someone else is editing this file. Therefore I won't let you edit it right now... you can read it if you want though." Permissions means somebody saves it, and Xsan thinks you saved it and own the file, when you really don't.

How to add bookmark button for user to access application

I would like to add a button that will be an 'ADD BOOKMARK' concept for the user so that they don't try to save the url that is generated at the time they run the application.
I am using Apex 4.0.
Is anyone familiar with this concept?
I see it a lot on the internet with other websites.
Thanks,
Maggie

This post is made for the future Apex users that need this info.
I discovered a fantastic website that helped me generate the code needed for my apex page to add a bookmark link. This website is:
http://www.webmaster-affiliates.net/bookmark-site_doit.php
This was my code used (be sure to replace the curly brackets with a pointed less than/greater than bracket):
{div align=right}{a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http://your.url.goes.here:7780/pls/apex/f?p=Graphics_Status', 'Graphics Status')"}Bookmark Site{a}{div}
I created a page region and put the above code in the source field. Worked fantastic.
