Limit Number of Numbers Entered Into Integer Field In LiveCycle

Hi:
I have a numeric field on my form that I need to limit the number of numbers entered to 4 only. The field can have leading zeros... Is their someway to do this?

The below code can check for the Field length and does not allow the user to enter more.
Place it in the Change event of the Numeric Field with java Script as language..
     //This is the length you want your NumericField to accept. If you want to add additional leading zeros then you need to set the length accordingly.
     var maxLength = 4;
     if(xfa.event.newText.length >maxLength)xfa.event.change = "";
Thanks

Counting the number of characters entered into a page item

Is there a way to count the number of characters that are entered into a page item. I've got a field that can contain up to 20 characters. If 20 are entered I can do a = on my search, if less than that, then I have to do a wildcard search. I currently do a substr on the field to see if position 21 is null and position 20 is not null, then I have a 20 character field. Is there a more efficient way to do this and also is there a way to actually show the character count as the page item is being populated

Hello user8014695 (name please),
Try coding the select for your search as
select ...
from some_table
where some_field like case when length(trim(:YOUR_ITEM)) = 20 then :YOUR_ITEM else :YOUR_ITEM || '%' end
Note - I included the trim() assuming blank characters before or after shouldn't count.
To show the character count as the item is being keyed-in, Google "javascript character count" for lots of ways to do this. To work these solutions into ApEx, check the ApEx help/documentation for incorporating JavaScript into your application - specifically the references on accessing page items using JavaScript.
Hope this helps,
John

Today's date dynamically entered into text field that user enters additional text into same field.

Trying to have today's date dynamically entered into a repeating table row textfield when the button is clicked to create each repeating row. The user can then enter addtional text into the same text field next to the date.
Example:
[4/25/2012] This is the text the user entered.
Today's date is populated in each update row created when the "Update Row" button is clicked.
The following script works but only for the first instance, not the second, third, forth, etc...
Click event: (JavaScript, client)
this.resolveNode('Table2._RowB').addInstance(1);
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.RowB.#subform.Update").rawValue
Thank you,
~Don

Hi Don,

Way to Count Email Addresses Entered into a Field

I am using Coldfusion 8.0 and have a simple email form with From, To, and Body fields. I would like to limit the number of entries in the "To:" field to 300 or less. Is there a function that I can use to do this? I was thinking more along the lines of counting the number of "@" charcters in the field and if 301+, then redirect the user.

GIven that "s" is the variable containing the value, if you did:
<cfset parts = listToArray(s, "@")>
you could then check the length of parts.

How can i make it where if data is entered into a field it is mirrored to another field within the document?

I do not want them named the same as I don't want the second one appearing until after it is entered into the first field.

Hi,
If the form fields have the same name then the data entered in one field will be auto populated in other with the same name. For example, if there is a form field named custom field 1 in one document and there is another field with the same name(custom field 1) in the other document and you upload them together into a single transaction and send the document, then the data entered in custom field 1 in one document will be auto populated in custom field 1 of other document as well. This also applies for one document only as well.
Does this help?

If numbers entered into field will format to $ if letters stays as text

I am having trouble with writing this script.
Basically what I am trying to do is in the heading. If a number is entered then it will format to $0,000.00 but if letters are entered the format will stay as text.
I am also doing the same thing for date and text.
Any advise is appreciated

You can use something like this as the custom Format script:
if (/^-?\d+$/.test(event.value)) {
AFNumber_Format(2, 0, 0, 0, "$", true);

How to check the number of digits entered into a itab-field.

Howdy,
I've got a program where i retrieve some data from the database and then I need to check if field BKPF-XBLNR has exactly 15 digits in it.
I've got no idea on how I would do this...
Can anyone help?
Thanking you kindly!

XBLNR is a character field. If you want to make sure all 15 positions have a digit and not some other character then use:
IF BKPF-XBLNR CO '0123456789'.
* OKAY, all 15 positions have digits
ELSE.
* NOT OKAY, at least one of the 15 is not a digit
ENDIF.
If you do not care what the characters are, then Rich has given you the solution but be aware that you could have embedded blanks, for example:
'ABCDEF GHIJK'
is length 15.

Adobe Reader 9.4 won't allow saving-copying-printing of data entered into form fields.

Hello, all. I own a fully automated Continuing Education website with a national customer base. The release of Adobe Reader 9.4 has brought a major problem for us which we haven't been able to overcome, and it's a critical issue which will destroy our business if the problem continues.
The problem: Our professionally licensed website users earn online, instantly downloadable Continuing Education certificates in PDF file format, which are auto-generated by our software program when the user has successfully completed a course and its quiz.
Each certificate is a template created by Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 which contains the boilerplate course goals, credit hours earned for the course, plus all of our educational approval numbers needed to conduct business in each state. THE PROBLEM HERE is that these generated certificates ALSO have form fields which are auto-completed by our system when the user successfully completes his or her course - i.e., the user's name, his license number, and the date and hour and minute of completion. Until some of our customers began to use Adobe Reader 9.4 on their PC this past week, the certificate generation process has performed flawlessly - for over 3 years now, for over a thousand customers - the only exception being the occasional MAC user who needs to download the correct version of Adobe Reader, and to use the correct browser.
Beginning last week, site users who have downloaded 9.4 can no longer SAVE their Continuing Education certificates to their computer with their name, license and date and time of completion showing on the certificate.   And they can't even print the certificate correctly - their name, license, and date of completion appear as blank lines. They can't download or email the certificate with the critical form field data showing on the document. This is a devastating situation for our business and for the users - who certainly won't return, and are demanding refunds.
In fact, I (who installed 9.4 last week) discovered that I can't even download and save an intact copy of a customer's certificate from my own website, OR copy and paste information from a client's generated certificate in order to manually create a certificate for him or her. The on-screen message tells me that I am not allowed to do this with this document .... despite the fact that I was the creator of the document. Needless to say, when I un-installed 9.4, I had none of these problems.
Customers wouldn't have problems either if they uninstalled 9.4 - but you can't tell customers who call in to complain, to uninstall their Adobe Reader program and find something else. They also have to use Adobe Reader to view over half of the courses we offer, and they need to be able to work with them effectively with no problems.
In the past, because of occasional Adobe Reader problems of a different sort, we could tell customers to use Foxit or Nitro PDF if they had Adobe issues. But that was back in the day when there was no competition in running an online CE website. Now there is plenty of competition, and customers will just go elsewhere before they will try to reconfigure their computer just to stay with our site.
I will bet that hundreds (thousands?) of other online businesses who work with system-generated form fields in PDF documents have been similarly affected.
Is there a solution here? Surely this was an UNINTENDED result of Adobe's upgrade to 9.4.   Is there something that we can do at our end to eliminate these issues? There are NO security protections or limitations imposed on these certificate documents. And we CANNOT eliminate the form fields that are filled internally when the customer passes t the course. Date and time of completion and all the rest are required by all of the States which license us. Many thanks!

That was it!
Thanks

To limit number of characters in a text field...

I did a little research. My goal is to limit the number of characters in the textfield by 50.
If the results of my research are correct, I have to create a JFormattedTextField, then use a MaskFormatter with a mask of 50 asteriks. Is that correct? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I've got a problem using a JFormattedTextField.
Each time the the text field gains focus, the caret does no move to the end of the text. It appears at the start of it. plus, any text i typed will overwrite the character already typed in, as if you've pressed the INSERT button during typing in a text editor.
What caused that and how do I resolve it?
Thanks a lot for the help ;)

Index.html pages in local sub-directories will not load automatically when sub-directory name entered into address field, followed by a forward-slash

I am in the process of designing a website-on-a-CD. In order to make things easier for my clients, I decided to organize this site into local sub-directories with an index.html page in each one. However, when I try to enter the local sub-directory name, followed by a forward-slash, the index page does not open automatically. Instead, I get a raw directory listing that includes the index.html file, and anything else that is present within it. I would like to know if there is any way to force this page to load automatically within Firefox from a local storage medium as it would load from a web-server.

You need to use file:// as the protocol instead of C:/. The latter may never work (C:\ might).
Where is the main HTML located ?
Easiest if to store the images in a sub folder of the location because you can't go back via ../ beyond that root location for security reasons.

How do I get calendar in iOS7 to look up address when entered into location field of appt?

With Mavericks on iMac, when I start to enter a location into a calendar event, the address gets looked up, completed and a map shows up on the event. The map is there when that event is sync'd with iPhone or iPad running iOS7. But on iPhone or iPad, when I enter an address into a calendar item, no lookup takes place and therefore I don't have a "live" address to click on for directions. Is there some setting in iOS7 that determines whether an address gets looked up in the calendar?

A quick look at their web site shows I've misinterpreted what you said - Notational Velocity isn't related to iCal. However if you are still having a problem with that the makers would be the people to ask.
I'm not sure why you can't get iCal files to work if they are in the correct place. In 10.6.8 the Calendar folder includes a folder for each calendar, and these contain the .ics files which represent the actual events. I don't know whether 10.8 has altered the format as I don't use it.
You originally said ' I found the old calendar data in Users/my name/Library/Calendars, and copied it over into the Library file on my new machine.' - did you copy the entire Calendars folder intact?

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.

Problem substituting document number into Assignment field

We have a requirement to substitute document number and fiscal year into Assignment field when posted to a Sp.GL account (Using FB60). Sort key is substituting doc# and fiscal year into Sp.GL Assignment number. I am trying to use a substitution rule, but it's not working probably because the substitution is being called before document number is generated. Any thoughts or input on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Preferance pane window keeps popping open when entering search or data into any fields. I'm also using 1Password and it happens when trying to enter a password

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.7.4, Firefox 14.0.1. This issue didn't exist until this most recent Firefox update. Basically, a preference pane opens every time data is being entered into a field. It doesn't seem to be the same preference pane that you see when you open the preferences through the normal Firefox access ie. Firefox > Preferences. All of the choices listed in this particular preference pane are specific to Firefox though. I have a screen capture that I could include if wanted. When using 1Password the pane appears, when entering a search in the search bar near the address bar the pane pops up, when entering data into any field as I am now filling in this detail report the pane also pops up. It's quite annoying. Any advice? I'm going to systematically attempt to quit any add-ons and see if that makes a difference. I ave already tried doing a reinstall to no avail.

I think a screen shot would be helpful. There is a box below the compose area of a reply to upload files.
