My Director has no Text Field

How come on my version of Director there is no Text Field.
Instead I have TextInput. Where can I find the Field option.

If you are using Director MX 2004 and looking for a text or
field member
from the toolbox, then change the view of the toolbox. At the
top it
ways "default". You can change this to "classic". This will
give you a
tool for both Field and Text members. You could also turn on
the
toolbar. This has a button for text members. You can also get
a text or
field window from the Window menu.

Expanding Text Fields, only when printed

All,
I have a dynamic form that has many text fields for user input. These fields have a fixed height, however allow multiple lines beyond the visible area. I don't want these text fields to expand when the field is exited, but rather when the form is printed. The form is set up neatly on 7 pages, and I'd like it continue to be 7 when the user is working, however I'd like it to expand to accomodate the extra text upon printing.
How can I make it so when I print, the fields expand and the data flows onto the next page(s)?
Thanks!
Aaron

Thank you. I'll also have to make sure the subforms are set to "flowed" to make sure the expansion works appropriately, correct?
I can get everything to work correctly until my last page. When flowing the subform it compresses all of my fields and won't let me resize or move. Is there any easy way to resize a subform or adjust the locations of the fields within it?

Editable Text Fields Showing Up As Blank

Hey guys wondering if you can help me out as I've searched for a solution and can't find one. I created a PDF using LiveCycle where it has editable text fields that one can fill out. The PDF does work but the issue is that sometimes when recieving the document back the PDF looks like it's blank and hasn't been filled out even though it has been. In the attached example if you click on the line next to Occupation, etc. you'll see that there is actually info there you just have to click on the line to see it. This is being filled out by people using Macs and Windows. Does anybody have an idea as to why this would happen. What's even more odd is that it only happens sometimes while other times the PDF works just fine. Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks.

Was the form created with LiveCycle Designer or Adobe Acrobat?

What is a text field for Dictation? Trying to transcribe a school video lecture.

I have a 2-yr old iMac, with LOTS of memory, and the newest version OS Mavericks installed. Specifically, OS X Version 10.9.4, Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory: 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I have set up Enhanced Dictation, can turn it on and off, and my microphone symbol is working correctly. I can open a Word document and speak and it types what I am saying, but I have a school lecture open in a Firefox window that I want transcribed. When I hit the function key twice it beeps, indicating it is on, but I don't know where it is typing it. All the directions say is "choose a text field" - what does that mean? Thanks for any assistance.

Select List as a child to a text field?

I'm using APEX 4.1. I have a Select List that has a Cascading LOV Parent Item that is just another text field, the LOV sql has the text field in the where clause. When I type a few characters into the text field and tab to the Select List the list is filtered by the characters from the text field, but if I use the mouse and click the down arrow of the Select List I have to click twice before the list will be populated. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I would imagine it's a similar issue to the old 'mouse-navigate' in forms where no change event has fired while processing the arrow click. You may find different results in different browsers?
You may be able to solve your problem with a mouse-click DA on your select list? or something similar, who'se action refreshes that select list item.

Getting a zero value from text field

Hi,
The form has 3 text fields for Freight areas, the viewer inserts "1" in the field that is applicable to their area.
The first 2 fields have a cost of $10.00 and $15.00 and the third is for pick up so there is zero cost. If they insert "1" in either of the 2 fields, it shows up as 1 in the returned email to to the site owner and to the viewer but I can't get the free freight field to display anything in those returned emails.
I've included the PHP form handler file and the site address is: http://www.hamdenestate.co.nz/test-site/contact-us.html
Thanks.

But wouldn't it be much more intuitive to use radio buttons here?
Yes, but this a bit of a long running issue. The OP ideally wants to add the freight cost to the total price at the bottom of the form on the website before the information is sent back via php but that is done using javascript and radio buttons mess with the calculations. Inserting 1 into the freight form fields, which is counter-intuitive, does the trick but that will mess with the total price when php collects the information because the value is 1 rather than 10 or 15.

Form with only 1 text field + ENTER: Error 404

I have several JSP pages with forms to enter/edit data. As long as I use the mouse to click the submit buttons, I get no errors. If the form has more than 1 text field to enter, i can also edit one of these text fields and press the ENTER/RETURN key which has the same effect as the submit button clicked with the mouse. But if a form just has 1 text field, I get the following error when I press the ENTER/RETURN key (instead of clikcing the submit button with the mouse):
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
This is the same case on all JSP pages that only has 1 text field: they work when using the mouse by pressing the submit button but fail when using the ENTER/RETURN key.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround for this?

I believe that text inputs can have their own action
attribute, so providing the same value there as in
the form may help (though by default it should defer
to the form's action).
So try something like:
<form action="x.jsp">
<input type="text" name="..." action="x.jsp"/>
</form>
That doesn't help. The addresss bar is also always the same as the jsp pages are displayed in a html frame.

Search database fields using single text field

Kindly advise on how to develop a database search page such
that there is
single text field to enter serach string and the results are
shown on the
same page.
ALso guide if there is any extension available for achieving
the above.

I understand what you say.
What I am looking for is a wizard or an extension which
creates the form, as
well as writes the SQL string and also generates the results
page
(preferably on the sarch page itself).
I am looking for a google like solution where the site
homepage has one text
field, and users can search for all the fields of a database
to give results
on the same page.
Please help.

Display text fields based on value

I have a form that has 7 text fields that are to be filled out. I have an ajax process that auto-populates those 7 fields with values based off of the return value of a pop-up dynamic LOV. Is there any way that I can hide the last 5 fields based on a certain value of one of the text fields?
For example, my fields are:
P1_Badge (LOV query)
P1_First_Name
P1_Last_Name
P1_Title
P1_Phone
P1_Room_No
P1_Email
P1_Fax
The LOV returns a Badge number and populates the rest of the values. But if the Last_Name = 'Smith' then I only want to display Badge, First_Name, and Last_Name and I want to hide the rest of the fields or make them disabled for editing.
Is this possible without any kind of page submit?
Thanks,
Dirk

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!

Absense of xml tags and blank text fields

I am a new user to LiveCycle and am trying to create a document that will not display the text field if the corresponding xlm tag is not provided.
I seem to be able to do this if the text field is wrapped in a subform, but as this document has many text fields it simply would not be efficient to wrap every field independantly. Currently, I have subforms consisting of multiple text fields. Each of these text fields are bound and the subform they are in is flowed and is set to repeating with no minimum or maximum records required.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't think there is a particularly easy way to do this, you can add some code in the initialise event, something like;
if (this.dataNode.isNull)
this.presence = "hidden";
You can use this.dataNode to reference the value the field is bound to..
If you have lots of fields and If your users are using Reader 9.1 then you can use event propagation,
http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2011/06/propagating-events.html.
Otherwise you can try doing something with proto elements.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

How can I calculate the sum of the text fields?

I'm trying to use a Flash form that has 40 text fields where
the user will enter numeric values. I want to add one field that
will show the total of all those values as the user enters them in.
I have tried the following, but as soon as I add Val(Trim(...))
around the current amount to make it numeric, it doesn't update as
I type anymore. If I take that out, I get an error that it can't be
converted to a numeric value. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

If you want to do your calculations as the data is being
entered, you'll have to write some actionscript to do it on the
client. cfcode runs on the server.

Expandable text fields in acrobat for mac?

I need to design a interactive form (on a mac) that has interactive text fields that are dynamic, expandable and flow. Basically, I have static questions that have to be answered, and depending on the amount of copy that the user puts in, the copy will flow down.
Im fairly familiar with the workings of interactivity, but i have done some searches for this feature in acrobat pro for mac, and I am not coming up with anything. Is there some coding I could add, or some way of doing this on mac base?
Does Acrobat X for mac allow this functionality?
I really need to get this done, and pretty disappointed that such simple functionality is not included in acrobat for mac. Or is it, and Im jut missing it? Is there a runaround way I could do this?
Thanks!

I just have to ask, why does acrobat not have this functionality that the pc version does?
I use acrobat professional all of the time-I am a designer. I use it along with all of the other big players, like Photoshop, indesign, etc.
There is a need for this amongst the mac world.
Im just sick right now. How do I tell the client this cannot be done AT ALL on a mac, when it would be so easy on a pc, and everything you'd need is already bundled in a nice little package. (acrobat pro and extended for PC)
Adobe, you just sent us back about 5 years.
So, any other ideas of how I can get this to work? Another application?
Well, like other Companies rather than than creating one master code That just needs to change for differences in the look and Feel.
Because The Mac Market is not as Large as PC, they don't put as many features in the Mac Version. That's the way its always been. They think we will put up with shortcomings. And and the sad fact is we do. Just to have any Software. Office2011 comes about as close to Parity as any software out there. It now has Outlook and uses the same Macro Engine as the PC version. However, it still has features missing that in the PC version. And some of the Macro commands that work on PC won't work on Mac (ActiveX Controls for one).
Its just the cards we are dealt. Until the Mac Market becomes equal Parity with The PC Market Then we will have the power to have decent software.

Validating Text Fields

Hi All,

    I have designed a BSP which has some text fields.
In the last focus (On Blur) of field1 I wanted to check if it contains only numbers, if not I wanted to popup an error message.
       Can anyone help me in this regard.

How do I get specific font to ALWAYS appear in text field whether user has font on computer or not?

I am designing a simple form to be used as template for OTHER people to type up room signs. We would like the signs to be in a specific font that is not generally loaded on the average computer, and we do not want to have to distribute fonts to a gazillion people. My thought was to create a LiveCycle from, whereby the room user could type their name and title in the text fields on the form, and in theory, it would appear in the font I chose for the text field. I have tried various things, but it always gets substituted by the user's computer.
Tried: Choosing "rich text" for field format in Object palette; choosing "Embed fonts" in "Save Options"; tried static form, tried dynamic form. It could be that my test user has such an old version of Reader that it just CANNOT work.
Thanks!

The restrictions are listed as "normal." And it does appear as embedded when I go to the document properties, though it didn't until I used it for the text on the form (as apposed to just using in the text fields.) And when another user opens the form, the text appears in the specified font, but once they type in the text field, it defaults to different font.
BTW, it is an Open Type Font, if that makes any difference.

My Director has no Text Field
