Javascript in Adobe forms

Hi All,
How do we write Javascript in adobe forms to display a text at the end of the master page. this master page count varies based on the number of records in the table. So suppose at the last page I want to display a text. How do we achieve that??
Thanks,
Komal

Master Page will be displayed on every normal page .
So the alternate solution is make your pages as flow layout. Arrange the things properly.
After the table or at the end of all the elements you can make a text field for the number of records.
So as soon as the table is filled the elements are scrolled down and automatically at the end of the page the text field with number of records will be shown.
Thanks,
Sumeet

Use of JavaScript in Adobe Forms

Hi guru's...
Are there any restrictions in the use of JavaScript Coding within Livecycle Designer?
Which objects, methods and/or functions can be used and which can't?
Is there a reference guide for this?
And is there a way to use some kind of debugging for testing the JavaScript code within an Adobe Form?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can learn JavaScript(use it as reference) from this site...
http://www.w3schools.com/
And coming to restrictions...I dont find as such any till now in my usage...
I used to use ALERTS for DEBUGGING purpose...
Here is some sample coding...
var strText = "Raja";
alert("Hello Javacript"+strText);

Events with Scrpts and JavaScript in ADOBE forms

Hello All,
On an Adobe form I have field for sub totals. I am trying to choose 'Events with Scripts' on the SHOW pull down values and choose JavaScript in the language. I was able to do this some time ago but now, I am able to choose Events with Scripts but not being able to choose JavaScript for language.
I do not have much exp. with Adobe or JavaScript but I checked whatever I could think of but could not figure out. Any body ran into this issue before? Any ideas?
Please post and Thank you ...

By trial and error, what I did is, chose 'Calculate' in the Show menu then chose JavaScript in the Language pull down menu. Then added my JavaScript code. Then went back and change 'Calculate' in the Show menu to Events with Scripts. Saved and executed it . It worked.

Accessing Context Data with JavaScript in Adobe Form

Hi,
does anybody know, how to access a context element with javascript in an adobe form, because I have to decide which elements will be shown at the form, depending on one context value.
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards, Patrick.

Hi,
First of all your WD context is mapped to the data view in the form. You can only access via scripting what is mapped to the data view and you get the values that the PDF currently has stored. The WD context and the data values in the context might differ (eg. due to editing).
Use scripting like xfa.resolveNode("xfa.dataset.data.<path.to.the.node>") to get a reference to the data node.
Then you can use the "value" property to access the data value.

Accessing Form context fields in javascript in Adobe forms

Hi,
I want to hide some elements in the Adobe form with respect to the value of a Form context field.
If this field is mapped to an element in the Form layout then we can access it using data.<field>.rawValue, but this field is not mapped to any element on the layout.
Please help me if anyone knows it.
Regards,

The coding you are showing is FormCalc used by LiveCycle Designer.
This is the forum for Acrobat Acrobat forms, there is a separate series of forums for LiveCycle Designer. If you are using LiveCycle Designer please post in the appropriate LiveCycle forum.

How to modify automatically the show length of table in adobe form

hi,experts.
i often need adobe form to output imformations in table forms..sometimes i don't know the length of each column previous. so i want to make that the adobe form can adjust the output length of table column automatically depending on the content..
i am new about JavaScript of adobe forms. hope someone can give me suggestions
thanks in advance.

Hi,
You may select the particular column and then in the Layout Pallette, select the radio button for "Expand to Fit" which would be under Height. That way your cells would automatically adjust for size(Would grow in height). But the size wont grow in Width, that remains fixed as you would have fixed during design time.

Hi Vinay,
It depends on various factors. one is skill availability. IF client has Strong ABAP Development team, Client can go with WebDynpro ABAP, but if client has more Java skills, no issue in going with WebDynpro Java.
In HR, If you choose to use WD-ABAP, you can use many standard WD-ABAP components as search helps. ( WD-abap components HRRCF_C* , HRASR_C* etc )
But do keep in mind that, even if you go with WD-ABAP, you cannot do away with scripting using FormCalc or Javascript in Adobe Form depending on the complexity & UI elements/Search helps etc.
I personally prefer WD-ABAP & would strongly recommend WD-ABAP. Afterall, it is the language of SAP :).
Thanks,

Adobe Form - Object property for FormCalc/Javascript

Hi All
I'm learning to use Adobe Form - FormCalc/Javascript - In some of the examples that I have seen fofar
the codes (FormCalc/Javascript) used a qualified name of an object property for setting value i.e.
In FormCalc:
DateTimeField1.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(3))
In Javascript:
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount();
pantsWaist.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
pantsLength.presence = "hidden"
etc..
Could someone please tell me how/where I can get the property list that available for an object ?
(i.e. rawValue, presence, value etc...) I can't see on the Form builder (sorry for such a novice question - but as I said I am very new)
Thanks
Points will be rewarded for any reply -

Hi Liem,
Whenever u press a "." after any oject say $ in FormCalc, or this in Javascript u will find relative properties that u can set at that time for the mentioned object.
try this, place a Text field, select that and go to script editor, select language FormCalc:
write $. and u will find a dropdown that'll show u possible list of properties u can change.
Similarly, if u try this with "this." in JavaScript another dropdown will show u possible list of properties that u can change.
Hope this helps

Addition of fields in Adobe forms using JavaScript or FormCalc

Hi All,
I have a few amount fields in my Adobe form. I want to calculate their sum and show it in another textfield. Any ideas how this is done using JavaScript or FormCalc.???
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
you cant use JavaScript here in Web Dynpro. But if you want to calculate the sum through a button click that can be done through the Action Handler method.
Suppose you have 2 fields to add whichare field1 and filed2 in the context tree and the sum will be shown in field3 of context tree - all of numeric data type - obviously. So you can do the following in the action handler method.
int sum = wdContext.currentContextElement().getField1() +
wdContext.currentContextElement().getField2();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFields3(sum);
