Make text field (email address) link to popup outlook to compose email

Hi all
We have a contact management system, and when the person's record has been clicked. His detail will shown up. (Name, Address, Email, Contact)
Is anyone know how to make the field of Email address a hyper link so that the outlook can pop up when you click that link to compose email directly with the predefined email address?
I've tried to search in the type of the field but cannot find anything related to URL. Will the AJAX be involved in this issue?
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Try the suggestion below -
set email field DISPLAY AS TEXT (Does not save state)
under the source section
Source used: Always replacing any existing value in session stateIn the Source type
select SQL
in the alternate source section type your query -
SELECT '<a href="mailto:' || email || "></a>'
FROM table_name
WHERE pk_id = :P1_PK_ID;change above attributes as per your table. Make sure you set the where condition to primary key to fetch this field. click on save changes and it should give you the email link now
Hope this helps

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

Here is one solution:
// mouse up action for submit button;
function GetField(cName) {
// get field object for cName field with error checking;
var oField = this.getField(cName);
if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
return oField;
} // end GetField function;
var oPhone = GetField("phone");
oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
var oEmail = GetField("email");
oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
} else {
app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
// additional code for submission;

To make TEXT field in adobe forms dynamic

Hi Experts,
I have requirement in adobe forms where based on certain condition I want change the TEXT field accordingly.
Example if material number in of gas type than text will be "GAS MATERIAL" and then populating corresponding material number.
If itu2019s of hard goods type than text has be "HARD GOODS MATERIAL".
Please let me how this requirement can be achieved ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can definitely make a field dynamic. Bind the text fields with varibale of type Material Number and its description which will have to create in the context (Interface) of the adobe forms. These values you can pass from your driver program or Web-Dynpro.

Add new text field in Address Book?

I can export my address book using the Address Book Exporter Utility.
However, instead of creating a label with First Last (e.g., Bob Dylan) as stored in Address Book, I would like to use a custom field, Mr. First Last & Family (Bob and Joan Dylan). I know I can make those edits in Excel after the export and send off to my mailing house, but then it isn't saved in Address book.
If I create a custom field (say "Envelope Label") under Related Names, it doesn't export with that utility. Any ideas?

Hai Ramesh ,
Could u please ellobrate the requirement , you need new field to be added in the screen level .

How to make text fields grow dynamically without overlapping the text below it?

Cursor focus in text fields in Safari broken after Snow Leopard upgrade

Hi, I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my Macbook. Since then, whenever I am typing in a text field in Safari (e.g. Gmail's compose message contents field), the cursor freezes. I cannot move the cursor with either arrow keys or the mouse. I cannot select text. The only way to move the cursor is to click on a different text field (e.g. the email subject field in Gmail) and then click back on the location I want in the first text field. But even after that, I cannot move the cursor within that field aside from typing characters -- I still have to click back and forth between different text fields.
I have not had this problem in Firefox.
This seems like a minor thing but it makes Gmail unusable in Safari, which basically means Safari is useless to me now. Still, I prefer to use Safari for general web browsing since it is much quicker, so I am hoping someone can recommend a fix (preferably not going back to Leopard, although that is an option via a SuperDuper restore).

HI,
Other Safari users have experienced this issue but the issue resolved itself after uninstalling the Flash player plugin, then reinstalling, then repairing permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Copy text fields and drop down menu fields

Hi,
Using LiveCycle Designer ES, I am making a simple form with some text fields and along with some drop-down menu fields. With the resulting pdf, I need for one to be able to select the appropriate selection in the drop-down menus. Then using cntl-a to select everything and then cntl-v to copy it into a text document. This approach will only copy the text fields and not what is showing in the drop-down menu field. Is there any way to solve this problem? The end users computer has limited tools and software cannot be installed on it.
Thank you for considering this issue and any help you may provide,
ja

Hi,
I don't really know if the text field can be selected using Ctl+a, but if that is possible how about adding extra text field that is linked to pulldown menu?
If the usage of the PDF is only for copying, then I would make a formcalc or javascript to combine all the text into one text field so that user only need to copy paste one field.

Rich text fields, field locking, and form saving/re-opening

I have a LiveCycle form that has 2 text fields (email and info) and a button. When the button is pressed, the 2 text fields are set readonly and the button is set hidden. A rich text field is populated to provide a mailto link using the email and info text fields:
form1.firstpage.HyperlinkSF.rtField.value.exData.loadXML(sRichText, false, true);
This appears to work fine, but when I save the form and re-open it, the readonly fields are now editable and the button has re-appeared. If I remove the functionality associated with the rich text hyperlink, the form correctly re-opens with the readonly fields set readonly and the button is not visible.
Any idea why populating a rich text field is affecting the form state on saving/re-opening?

Thank you Bruce for your very helpful links.
I see that I had incorrectly formed the rich text body tag. I had omitted:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"
I had also been unable to get the &body= of the mailto working, and see that I should have had & as in:
var sURL = "mailto:" + sTo + "?subject=" + sSubject + "\&body=" + sBody;
All appears to work as expected. Great links. Thanks!
Robin

HELP!! How do I create hyperlink in a text field?

Hi!
I've been going through the message boards and I am not finding my answer. I have created a form utilizing LiveCycle. I have made the form so that it can be fillable via Reader Extended PDF. I need to be able to put a link in a text field that the next user can just click on it, and it will take them to a document in SharePoint for review. I've tried changing the text field to rich text in LiveCycle, but the steps to add the link in the PDF is too lengthly and not friendly. Once I finally get it to put the link in, the end user cannot just click on it. They have to take additional steps. Someone on the boards mentioned something about putting a button next to the field that will convert the text of the link in the previous text field to a link, but I cannot find those instructions or understandable instructions. The management wants it to be where you just click on the link. How do I do this? I am not a techie, so I need instructions in layman's terms.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you!
Maribeth

I'm in the same boat as you, inasmuchas I taught myself LC. I've tried to replicate your issue. I'm trying to understand where the issue actually lies.
First, I created a new document to test. I dragged the text field onto the document and stretched it to accomodate what I was going to type and entered: http://www.google.com/something
This works as intended.
Next I tried a link similar to yours in our own intranet: http://intranet/WebPages/support.aspx
That also worked.
Now, for what you're actually working with: a SharePoint document.
I tried to paste a link to a document that I created on our Sharepoint site. The link failed! I noticed that the end of the link was truncated (something like 7 characters). So, I tried a shorter link. That worked!
What else is happening when they click the link? Are they simply being asked to "check out" the document? Are you getting an error message like "an error has occured while opening the page"?

Text Field All Caps?

I'm making an application form and prefer some of the fields to appear in all caps when a user types in information. Is there any way to make text fields font all caps? I looked under the font options but can only change the font, make things bold, italicized, underlined and a different size. Thanks!

There are two methods to convert a field to UpperCase. Both are used on the Exit event, and JavaScript language should be selected.
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase();
or,
var uc = TextField1.rawValue;
TextField1.rawValue = uc.toUpperCase();
I hope this helps.

LinkedButton object in a text field

Hi all!
I want to create a text field with a linked button (the orange arrow). When I click the arrow I want to see the item list an when I double click an item in the list, I want to insert the itemcode in my text field.
I tried so
frm.Items.Add("link",it_LINKED_BUTTON)
frm.Items.Add("Edit", it_EDIT)
frm.Items.Item("Link").LinkTo = "Edit"
flecha = frm.Items.Item("link").Specific()
flecha.LinkedObject=lf_Items
but it doesn't work!
Can you help me?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Veronica Vezzali

Hi Veronica,
unluckly i don't think that's the right way to do ehat you want.
The "linked button" is a navigation button, so if you have an item code in the text field you can click the arrow and open the item master data.
A "search form" must be created manually:
- create a "search button"
- catch the clink on the button and open a "search form"
- create the search form and fill it with the right query
- catch the "double click", close the "search form" and send the selected item code to the starting text field.
I think it's the only way to do it.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Fabio Salucci

Strange behavior with hidden text field for drill down

Hi All,
I am pretty sure I know the cause, just not sure how to work around...
I am trying to create a drill down report just like in the App Dev guide, and I have done everything the same as the example (2 times, once to follow the guide, and now on my app). The only difference is that I am using a text field rather than a numeric field as the link. This shouldn't be a problem (I wouldn't think) except that the text I NEED to use has '<==' in the middle. So when I check my session state var's, this is what I see:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
When what I should see is:
CHPAG0SC_MAILCDN_000000047_ <==20060525101642
So I think that I am gettting duplication because of the characters, but again I don't know how to solve it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Corey

Hi Scott,
I am trying to create a drill down report similar to the one in the app developers guide. I have a query on pg 1 that includes the required text field as the link. When I click the link, I get an error on pg 2 - which is trying to use the value from pg 1. I did check and saw that even though I set this value in session state (I thought that was what happened when I assigned the 'name' and 'value' in the column link), it is passed in the url, which is where I figured it was breaking. As stated, I need to use this text value as it is the only unique key for the data (currently - this is a data validation step (not an ApEx validation), where users are handling issues with data uploaded from a csv).
My current process is as follows:
1. User uploads 2 csv's
2. Proc moves (from wwv_flow_files) and parses csv back into records and inserts into temp (all varchar2) table(s).
3. User is displayed 3 'reports' - for each type of validation required - from the stage/temp table
4. User would click on the 'Edit' link (like the drill down sample) to see more details about the record.
5. Once the user is done with these reports, they would click another button to 'process' the data (move it into base tables)
Because the text field is always unique, I figured I wouldn't create a sequence for this like I have for the 'base' (destination) tables.
I didn't know that I was using a 'get' rather than a 'post', but of course it is a link, not a button - so I should ahve known better.
Is there a way to do this without adding a sequence generated id for each, or is that just the quickest way?
Thanks again,
Corey
