Label in a text field

Hi There
I am struggling a little with putting a label into three text fields of a form - please see the site at http://www.justadwater.co.uk/Firstlook/index.html I can get it to appear when you click on the text box but it needs to be there from the start and then gone when you click on the box.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hi,
I believe this code should work.
<form action="sendmailnews.php" method="post">
<input name="First Name" id="Firstname" type="text" value="First Name"/>
<input name="Last Name" id="Lastname" type="text" value="Last Name"/>
<input name="Email" id="Email" type="text" value="Email"/>
<input name="" type="image" id="button" src="images/button.gif"/></form>

Can't hide text field label..only text field

I'm trying to display text field boxes on a form to fill out when a box is checked. I'm able to do this for the actual text field, but can't figure out how to hide then show the associated text field label. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
var nHide =
event.target.isBoxChecked (0) ? display.visible:display,hidden;
this.getField ("Name").display = nHide; this.getField

First of all, you're using Acrobat JavaScript in an XFA form, which doesn't work.
LiveCycle Designer has its own interpretation of JavaScript, which is different to Acrobat.
There is also a second scripting language called FormCalc available.
Its syntax is much easier to learn and is matches perfectly to manipulate XFA forms.
Check the help (F1 button) in Designer to get the Designers scripting guide.

Position of the label in a text field

Hi,
By default when utilising a text field, the label appears on the laft hand side of the input area.
Is there any way that the positioning of the label & input can be reconfigured? I'm wanting the label to appear above the input on each field.
E.G.
*Label*
*Input Area*
Could leave the label blank and create a separate static text object for each field, but would prefer to use a simpler approach if possible!
Thanks.

All you need to to it to set the desired position for the field caption in the Layout palette.

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

Changing the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.

Hi expert,
I have a requirement in which i have to change the text of Text field in standard SAP transaction.
Is it possible? If so, how?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I think you want to change the field label of the text field.
For ex in tcode MM01, you can change the field label of Material text field.
The description of the field label comes from the data element it is associated with. To change the text of the field label, you have to change the field label of the data element.
But it will effect all the fields associated with this data element.
To change the field label of the data element go to tcode CMOD. Then click on GOTO->TEXT ELEMENTS->KEYWORDS->CHANGE.
Then enter the data element which is to be changed. In the next screen, change the field label and save it.

Vinod

PDF Text Field Form Label

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there was a way to make a label viewable in normal mode for a PDF text field form. I am making my PDF a form with a fillable text box in it. Well, I'd like the box name to show up when someone opens the PDF, not just if they only go into the edit form view. I hope I'm making sense. So far, the only thing I can think of is making a Button with the label above the fillable text box or make the text box a combo box. However, with a combo box, I can't edit how the text will look when it's typed in. Right now, though, when a person opens the PDF normally, the highlighted fillable text boxes show up but not the labels with them even though I have names entered in on Name and Tooltip.
Any suggestions?

Oh my gosh... I feel like such a dork!! I took a fresh look at it this morning, and the ONLY mistake I had was that I put the ending quotations in the wrong spot! I forgot to include (Optional) inside the quotations for the label!
I had this: if (!event.value) event.value = "Company Information" (Optional);
Instead of this: if (!event.value) event.value = "Company Information (Optional)";
Oi!! That was it! lol! I'm sorry about that. And yes, without those quotations, my text form fields don't work. I hadn't seen your message before (until now) asking for me to clarify that. I'm sorry! That's the only spot I needed quotations. If I don't have them, Adobe tells me that I'm missing characters.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I wish there was a way to give brownie points or something on here either than "Right Answer". You have helped me so much and deserve a lot of brownie points! Thank you!!
If Adobe is reading this, please give George Johnson a reward or something, please! He was very helpful and patient with me.

How to remove labels from text fields?

Hey Everyone!
I am having troubles with forms in Dreamweaver CC.
I insert a text field in a form but the text field automatically comes with a label.
How do i stop this?

And I get that!
But say I insert a text field.
It is preceded by a label saying "Text Field 1:"
But I already have written what the text field is supposed to do!
And when I go in front of the label and press backspace, it doesn't wanna get deleted; not until I have to select the text and delete it!
So you see a large part of my time is getting wasted in formatting the page and i can't give my full attention to the php code I want to write as I get frustrated because of this!
So if you could help me get rid of the labels for good ; it'll be amazing!
Thanks

Text Field avoid tab into label

Is there a way to avoid tabbing into a label.
I have several Text Fields with as "Required with Help" and the user would like to tab thru the Text field without having to tab out of the label.
Is that possible.
Using Apex 3.2.
Thanks

This can be controlled using the HTML <tt>tabindex</tt> attribute. See +{thread:id=1246565}+ for a previous discussion on this.
Basically, <tt>tabindex</tt> should NOT be applied to <tt>label</tt> elements. However in labels of type "Required with help", the help links should be accessible via tab presses on the keyboard. In this case, I'd say the user is wrong and it makes sense for the help link to receive focus before the text item, so that the help relating to the item can be accessed before entering a value. If they can't be convinced of this, then set <tt>tabindex</tt> values for the text items and label help links sequenced so that the items are accessed before the help links.

Wrap a single word in a text field

Hello everyone!
I currently have a problem with text data that is displayed in a Flex text field <mx:Text>.
It's a narrow textfield (100px wide) in a animated ad banner that displays content from a database. There are some words that are too long for the available space, so flash wraps some letters to the next line. I have attached a screenshot that shows the actual problem.
The text is shown in a Java web-application as well, and since that Java app is displayed as a normale webpage, there is a lot more space for the text. I cannot put hyphens into the text because it would look weird in the normal web view.
Is there a way to make automatic hyphenation happening when Flash wraps a single word?
It would be perfect to get language-specific correct hyphenation, but a hyphen at the wrong spot is still better than no hyphen at all.
Thanks for your time and help!

I think your simplest bet would be to use mx:label and use the op
tion truncateToFit="true". Also adjust the width so that the text appears prope
rly. Hope this helps..!!

Adding user-defined number of text fields.

Okay I am having problems, obviously. I am developing a program where the user will enter X and Y values and the program will calculate the relational data. However, I can't even get a start.
First of all, the user defines the number of pairs of points they want to define. For example, they have 20 points, each with its own X and Y, so they click on 20 and then okay in the first window.
The next window will then take their answer and display X and Y text fields for as many points as they defined. However, I can't figure out any way to do this.
Feel free to run the program, the problem lies in the method setTextFields(). Help please!

Text field not showing record set options

I entered the following php code to a text field in a form:
<p>
      <label for="date">Select Available Date</label>
      <select name="date" class="text" id="date">
        <option value="0" selected="selected">select your preferred travel date</option>
            <?php while ($row_rsDep = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDep)) {
                  echo '<option>' . date('d.m.Y',strtotime($row_rsDep['Start_Date_Eur'])) . ' - ' . date('d.m.Y',strtotime($row_rsDep['End_Date_Del'])) . '-' . $row_rsDep['Itinerary_Code'] . '</option>';
          ?>
      </select>
    </p>
In the text field it shows only the option=0 "select your preferred travel date" and does not show the rest of the options as available from the database.
Any idea what is wrong with my code?
Thanks,
zabberwan

I do have it showing in the sidebar showing as a repeating region. I commented it out and entered your code, but this time it shows nothing at all, not even an error!
The problem may have to do with "VIEWS" as I am working partly with Views on the external server. The server guys are having problems allowing Views. They did allow it for my account, but somehow this is not working. So I update my database leaving out the 3 tables created as views out of a total of 8. On the contrary on the local server the database is working fine, so that may not be the problem after all.
I had got it work a fortnight back, but lost it as I had to redo a few things with the forms it is in. On the sidebar it is working fine otherwise as a repeating region and showing all the dates of all itineraries. Only it's not working in the form, where it shows the preselected string (select your preferred travel date), but not the rest of the options.
About changing the email, one has to change the whole ID and profile etc. and then you can't log into your own account with the same user name, you have to have a different one, so that your own thread is no longer your own. What a pile of goons at the wheels! And what a disappointment with otherwise such a great bunch of forums.. I'll now have to contact the staff and would like them wipe out all my ID's and Profiles at Adobe and make a new one. It's such a rotten mess. This thing even ruined my ID at Adobe Browser Lab.
I suppose we'll leave it for Mr. Nobody to fix it, like so many other things especially around Christmas!

Text input box to show in another text field

Hello,
I have a text input box (Text1) showing during a certain label on the stage. On another label there is another text field (Text2) that is not input-able. This second text field (Text2) should show whatever the user has inputted in the first text input field (Text1).
Both of these elements are not symbols and right now they are both text elements.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
~iana~

I believe the inputField is set accordingly. And including your reply, here's what I've got on my stage:
sym.$("Name").attr('contentEditable', true);
var inputValue = sym.$("Name").value;
// other text
sym.$("Signature").html(inputValue);
Thus far, this does not work. "Name" field is Text1 (inputField) and the "Signature" is Text2 (text box)
I'm new to all this so I've prob got something wrong...do you know what I should adjust?

Text Fields Not Showing in Design or Live View

Hello Everyone,
I have run into a problem trying to create a simple contact form through Dreamweaver CS6. I have two text fields for Name & Email, and 1 text area for Comments. The issue I am running into is that the text fields are not showing in Design or Live view. I have set-up all variables required for the server for the form to work... but that should not have any effect on the text field showing... I tried uploading my contact page with the same result of no text fields showing...
What is really laughable is that the "text area" I placed in my form for Comments shows up in Design & Live view just fine. I am thinking that I am missing something, but just do not know what exactly. The form is styled through CSS.
Here is the form code:
     <div id="CRDForm">
       <form action="http://www.sweetformimi.com/formmail/formmail.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="contact" target="_self" id="contact">
    <input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER">
    <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="[email protected]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form" />
         <label><p>Your Full Name
           <input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="40" /></p>
         </label>
         <label><p>Email
         <input name="email" type="text" accesskey="2" tabindex="2" title="Email" value="Email"></p>
         </label>
         <label>Comments<br />
         <textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10" accesskey="3" tabindex="3" title="Comments"></textarea>
         </label>
         <input name="submit" type="submit" accesskey="4" tabindex="4" title="submit" value="submit">
       </form>
    </div>
Are there other variables I should be thinking about in the rest of my site? I am using a fluid grid layout. I have CSS for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. I also have a primary CSS file that imports all three. The sites structure was done by using <header>, <article>, <footer>, and of course <div> tags.
Has anyone ever experienced the "text fields" not showing up before? Is it a simple fix as reinstalling Dreamweaver CS6? Finally, another thing I should mention is that I did have a previous version of Dreamweaver on my comp, which was CS3. I did not uninstall that before installing the newer version. I assumed (and I could be wrong here) that it would automatically replace the older version.
I apoligize for it being long winded, but I am looking for some help on this issue...
Thank You

Hey thank you osgood for the reply!
When I look at code for long hours it sort of blurs together, and I miss things... I think that happens to the most of us
Ya I found what was blocking my text fields in my desktop.css
I primarily work through code view, and currently working on quite a few projects kind of makes your eyes miss the small errors.
Thanks again!
