My Drop down list won't work in Adobe Reader 9
I have a form that I created in Adobe Designer 7 but have opened and saved in Adobe Designer 9 (also redid the connection string, because it didn't like 7's). Now I can open and use the form normally in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and 9 and in the PDF previews of both Designers. But Adobe Reader 9 won't let the drop down list function the way it is supposed to. Also my form has fields that are binded to a SQL Server 2K5 database.
Now if Adobe Reader does not allow database connections or fields binded to them, is there a way to get similar functionality in any way?
Reader Extended? Is that when you open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced, and click "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"? I did that and it still didn't work. Matter of fact it locked up the PDF when I tried to open it in Acrobat Pro 7 or 9.
Or is that Adobe Reader Extension ES package?

Drop-down list won't work at the bottom of a page
I'm having a problem in my forms with drop-down lists that are situated at the bottom of a page. When the list drops down, only the first few values can be chosen. Any that fall too far down the list, and thus hover over top of the next page, cannot be selected. In this situation, the scroll bar for the list actually scrolls the entire document. Very weird. Has anyone expreienced this before? Perhaps I'm making a simple mistake.
Does it help if you disable hardware acceleration ?

somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe
It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason. -
JS Validation for Drop down List is not working in Oracle PL/SQL Package
Hi All,
I am facing an issue with JavaScript validation done in Oracle PL SQL package.
System Requirement:
There is one screen which contains two fields viz. FLD 1 & FLD 2 and one 'Submit' button.
FLD 1 and FLD 2 fields are drop down list boxes.These are mandatory fields.
The screen is developed in Oracle Mod PL SQL package.
The html coding and java scripting are embedded in the respective Oracle PL SQL Package procedure which generates this screen,takes the input values provided by user,does the
field validations and submits the form.
Issue:
The javascript validation for FLD 2 dropdown is working successfully.
When the user leaves this field as blank,the embedded javascript pops up an error message 'Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
As FLD 1 is also a mandatory field,the javascripting validation should pop up the similar error message 'Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!'.
But,this first field validation is not at all working.
The system allows to submit the form even if the 'FLD 1' is left blank.
The javascript code sysntax for validation of FLD 1 & FLD 2 drop down list boxes as follows:
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
return true;
I am viewing the screen from the web browser IE version 8.0.
Your timely help will really be appreciated.
Regards & Thanking in advance,
AlkaHi,
1. Your problem is actually related to JavaScript, not SQL and PL/SQL. So, this is the wrong forum to post. The closest to JS is the Application Express forum {forum:id=137}. Clearly state that it is not an Apex issue and that you are looking for JS help.
2. Your JS code, the way you has posted it, is syntactically incorrect, so if you post on Apex forum put the correct code and in tags as described in the FAQ
{quote}
function validate_form_fields()
if (document.forms[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_1.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 1 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
else if (document.forms[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex == 0))) || (document.forms
[0].p_fld_2.selectedIndex < 1 )
alert("Selection of FLD 2 is manadatory before submitting the form!!!");
return false;
return true;

Drop down list setSelected not working
Hi all,
I have a drop down list bound to a database (value: int, display: string). There are two pages:
page 1: a table with id needed for page 2 (id passed through the url)
page 2: drop down list bounded to a database. The selected value comes from page 1.
Problem: Even though I am getting the correct value, and am using ddList.setSelected (id), the ddList value does not change.
I basically want to know how to program the functionality of the "selected" property in java with a table bound to a database.
Any ideas?Hi There,
Looks like a user on this thread was able to set his drop down list value dynamically, take a look
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=881&threadID=5055898
here is what the user comments
Any way I have solved my problem
1.Change the value field of dropdown from int to string, so value field and display fields are same.
2. dropdown1.setvalue("abc");
this solution will only work if the value field is String.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Acrobat X Pro Drop-down Fields Do Not Appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Help!
Hello,
I am having a problem getting drop-down fields to appear on Adobe Reader for iPad. Basically, I need to create a form that includes drop-down fields, with the end result being a form that can be viewed and completed on an iPad, using the Adobe Reader app. Above all else, the end result needs to be viewable on an iPad.
I created a form using Acrobat X Pro within which drop-down fields work flawlessly. However, when I try to open this form on an iPad, the drop-down fields do not even appear. I have done some investigating on the Web (including these forums) and come to understand that this has to do with javascript limitations on Apple products, but have yet to discover a solution to my problem.
To summarize: does anyone know how to make drop-down fields appear in Abobe Reader for iPad app? Or, does anyone know a workaround in which I could have a drop-down menu (or something similar) in my form and have it work on Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks in advance for the help. I took on this project from my boss' boss, so I'd really like to get this done for him.Hello GKaiseril,
Thanks for the reply. I experienced the issue running the most recent version of the Adobe Mobile Reader app. I'm not sure I can convince the client to use anything else, but its worth a shot.
All I need is a simple drop-down list (multiple fields in the document) with 4 options that the user can select and submit as a form. Is this something EZ Pdf reader can do? Also, is EZ Pdf Reader free? (the reason I ask is I am an Android user and do not readily have access to a iPad).
Thanks again. -
DW-MX-04 Drop-down menus won't work.
I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 (have been for several years, so I know my way around it). I want to create drop-down or fly-outs menu's to consolidate page links into categores in order to reduce the number of link tabs I have on each page. I've been able to create the menu's I needed (using: Tag Chooser\ Behaviors\ Show Pop-U Menu), but when I preview the pages in IE, the text only shows on the mouseover text (not on top) despite having the text color set as black in the Menu window. But it gets worse. When I uploaded the page to try it, the drop down menus don't show up at all when I hover over the main buttons and I get javascript errors.
Can anyone give me so assistance on how to resolve this?
I've checked the text color issue using the code view editing pane, and it matches the way I have it setup in the Pop-Up Menu. But that's the least of my worries if I can't get them to work at all when the pages are live.
Thanks...JEBMX2004 software is also somewhat antiquated and no longer supported by Adobe. So it shouldn't surprise you that the tools from nearly a decade ago are obsolete today. The web itself has changed significantly since 2004!
Web standards have moved from HTML3 to HTML5. Layouts have departed from old school nested tables to more efficient CSS. Unlike a decade ago, today's web devices include everything from hand held smartphones & tablets to laptops, desktops and TV displays. So it's not possible to stand still and keep pace with the evolving web. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
CSS is not an extension. HTML = content. CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to style your content. With CSS you can make an ordinary list look like a very cool menu with buttons, borders, shadows, drop-down and rollover effects. If you master CSS, you can do some very creative things with it. However, coding skills are essential.
Below is an example of an unordered list styled with CSS to make a nice horizontal drop-menu.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Multi-colored-drop-menu.shtml
To further illustrate the efficiency and power of CSS, look at CSS Zen Garden.
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Every page on the right panel contains exactly the same HTML code as the first. The only difference is the CSS code.
The shift to CSS is intended to help web designers keep styles separate from content. Learning to work with CSS will make a you better web designer and save countless hours of tedious re-coding when you decide to change the look of your site. It's much easier to edit one file instead of many.
Below are some links to help you learn more about how to work with CSS.

Ever since I updated firefox to 3.5.16 java ahs stopped working. Drop down menu's in ebay don't, windows from links (such as tracking in ebay) don't work, pogo game windows won't load or will load the widow frame but not the game itself. I work online and run and online business and this wastes a lot of my time. Idon't want to use IE but might have to - I have looked in the forums and online and can't find a solution. Your help would be greatly appreciate it.

Multiple drop down menus won't work
Hi guys,
Mac newbie here: I decided to give them a shot after a lifetime of PC use due to a friend's recommendations.
I'm trying to apply for jobs, and every single site that has two drop down menus, with one dependent on the other, won't work in Safari. (if I go try it out on a PC with IE, it works without any problems). For example, a menu that reads "country" and the next one reads "state". It will let me choose the country, but then the "state" one won't work at all, with the only option being "choose one".
As these are required fields to send the application along, I'm having to borrow someone else's computer every time I apply for a job, and that's getting old fast. Any ideas on how to get Safari to quit hanging up on the dropdowns?
I have no idea if this matters or not, but I bought my Mac when I lived in Japan. I'm still running the English version of the OS, though.
Thanks for any help you can give me!I use www.alldatapro.com for auto repair information. It a members only site so it might be a bad example. The problem im having is, i cant select the first option in any dropdown menu. The badpart about that is some of the menus only have one option. In such a case, i have to log in on regular computer, put the info in, then reload the website on the ipad so i can use the "previous vehicles" option. I have a jailbroken ipad running 4.3.1. The dropdown mnus worked perfect until i upraded to 4.2 and i still havent found the source.

Why did my right click and drop down lists suddenly stopped working in firefox? How do get it fixed?
I have the latest firefox there is and one day when i opened it, the right click button stopped working. Then even the drop down litsts stopped working. For example if i click on the firefox icon in the top left corner, nothing happens. I have tried to reinstall firefox. No help. I don't know what to do. So if don't get rid of the problem I guess I'll just have to swich to another broswer, because this is a really really anoying bug...

Spry drop down formatting won't work in IE
I've tried the other fixes mentioned on this forum- nothing worked.
It looks correct in Mozilla (although the background color doesn't go all the way across the submenu buttons) but in IE instead of displaying vertically, the menu stretches out horizontally. I am redoing the menu and had it perfect the last time, and haven't changed a thing- I think there must be a problem with my tags because the code looks fine. Any thoughts?? Help is much appreciated!

Exit Button script won't work in Adobe Reader 8
Hello,
I have this code on Exit button for pdf form:
app.execMenuItem("Close");
Or
to give warning before Exit: Have a second RealExit Button hidden to execute the code
var answer = xfa.host.messageBox("Are you sure you want to Exit?","Warning Message",2,1);
if(answer==1){
RealExit.execEvent('click');
I tried both the code one at a time but no luck in Adobe Acrobat Version 8, works like a charm in Adobe Acrobat 9
I would like the user to click the Exit button if they choose to exit. However it doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat 8 but works in 9 version. Is there a work around? Any suggestions???
ThanksThis answer may not be a big help but sure will give you some level of understanding....
Check the URL>>>http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402673.html
Check the section "PDF Forms-related issues:" starting mid page.....
Not all releases/versions are good. Some releases tend to have some bugs...the version you tested could be one of them. Adobe always recommends to be on the latest version. If client still on older version that is client's problem especially there should not be any restrictions on upgrading to Latest version when the software is free! -
Submit by Email won't work with Adobe Reader 6
I have created a form that must be submitted back to our corporate offices, the problem is the people it is being sent to may be running Adobe Reader 6. When I try to use the submit by email button in version 6 nothing happens. The form works fine in the newer Adobe. Any help saving this to work for the older version would be great. Thanks!
You have enable Reader Rights with Acrobat 8 Professional (prior versions will not work), pay a 3rd party or buy Adobe's server product.

Microphone drop-down list doesn't work
I have written my own chat software, and while the webcam
selection (in settings) works, when I select different microphones,
although they appear in the selection box as if they have changed,
the same microphone that was on before, remains on. The volume
works fine.
I have tried the same computer using professional chat
software, and the microphone selection works, so it is not the
computer.
Don't think it can be this code:
if (micro!== null) {
micro.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS,microphoneStatusHandler);
nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone);
function microphoneStatusHandler(event:StatusEvent):void {
if (event.code == "Microphone.Unmuted") {
//default rate is 8 Mhz
microphone.rate=11;
} else {
//I have blocked my microphone - same as no mike
Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks.Here:
