No Cursor In Text Field - any browser

I'm fairly new to actionscripting and this forum. I'm not
sure if this is the right place to post, but it has to do with
posting data from a form.
I have come across an odd and very frustrating phenomenon
with a simple flash form. The text fields do not show the blinking
cursor or the text being entered, but when submitted, the email
shows all text entered.
The form is an external movie being loaded into a mc -- I'm
sure this is the problem, but it should be possible no?
Here's the thing -- I have tested the form on it's own and it
works fine. I have also tested it being loaded into a loader
component and it works fine. (see both examples here:
http://www.heymisterdj.com/contact.htm
But in the main movie, swf, the text fields just won't show
text.
(see here - click on Contact -
http://www.heymisterdj.com/newframe.htm
Any ideas?
I don't know if it will help but I have included the AS for
the contact button here.

If you click on the page header (page definition - edit attributes button in v2.0) and then under the display attributes section you will find a focus cursor select list.

  • Position cursor in text field when form is opened

    Another newbee question I'm afraid!
    I want to position the cursor in a text field when a user opens the form. I can't find a way to do it but I'm pretty sure it's straightforward!
    Also, can I remove fields from the tab order?
    Thanks (for your help and patience!)

    Hi,
    You would select the object that you want to receive focus and put the following in the docReady event.
    xfa.host.setFocus("this");
    The docReady event is a good one to use, because it only fires once.
    The tab order can be set in the Tab Order tab. Depending on the version of LC Designer that you have, the flexibility will vary. However I would do this as a last step, as any changes can throw the tab order out of sequence.
    Note that tab order is greatly affected by the relevant x/y coordinates of objects and where objects are in separate subforms.
    Hope this helps,
    Niall

  • How to set cursor to text field from message box in swing

    I am working Text Field validations in a swing application. when incorrect information is entred in text field a Message is displayed. When I click on OK button on message box I want to set the cursor position to that particular text field for which thet message is displayed.

    theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();may need to be wrapped in a Swingutilities.invokeLater,
    and if you want the text highlighted (so you can just type in new text)
    theOffendingTextfield.requestFocusInWindow();

  • Placing cursor in text field using AS3

    I am a newbie to actionscript 3.0 and need a litlle help that I have not been able to find searching (for two weeks).
    I would like the cursor to appear and blink in the first text field in  a  movie clip that gathers information to be sent to a php. The  following  does not work.
    stage.focus = textField;
    textField.setSelection(textField.text.length,textF  ield.text.length);
    And the only other things I find are for custom cursors. I just want  the  visitor to see the blinking cursor in the firstName_txt input box  when  the page appearss.
    Also, if the visitor tabs from one  input text field to the other, the blinking  cursor appears in the first  three input text fields but not in the fourth.  Yet, the visitor can  enter text in the fourth input text field.

    I have tested by clicking crtl+enter and uploaded the files to my isp for testing. Neither effort is successful.
    BTW, thanks for helping and I am sorry about the cross posting. My bad. I didn't realize there was a section for actionscript at the time.

  • Cursor in Text field

    I create a text field required user to type in. Everytime the
    user needs to click the mouse in text box before typing.
    Could it be automatically that the cursor is in the text box
    without pointing the mouse in text box when the movie loaded ? or
    just hitting tab button ?
    Thank you.

    Hello.
    You can put this in the pages body tag attributes in the page attributes page (Home>Application Builder>Application 11933>Page Definition>Edit Page)
    onload="html_GetElement('ITEM_NAME').focus()"
    replacing ITEM_NAME with the proper items name.

  • Facebook only displays text in any browser

    For the last two weeks, whenever I go to Facebook (https://www.facebook.com) all is see is a plain text page with a thumbnail of my profile picture. This happens whether I'm using Safari, Firefox or Chrome, so it's not a browser issue. Facebook still displays fine on my iPhone and iPad, and on other computers. This is driving me crazy because I can't find a fix for it.
    I've tried clearing the caches - no difference. All other websites appear normally.
    I have a 15"  Macbook Pro (mid-2010) with OS X 10.9.2.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this.

    fMobi is a great app available in the Nokia Store that performs all of the Facebook functions. have used it on my N8 and it works great

  • Ctrl+C+C deletes text in any Browser but...

    Don't know for what reason, but Ctrl+C+C that I've bound to copy the text and translate it via Goldendict seems to delete any deletable text in all other browsers except Chrome or Chromium, (Firefox and Opera works ok too).
    Midori or any other Webkit derivative deletes the word when I hit Ctrl+C+C.
    I understand that Goldendict can be the reason for not correctly working with those, but I need somebody's opinion on that issue.
    If anybody have an idea why this occurs?

  • Change cursor over text fields

    Does anyone know how to change the mouse cursor, to a karat cursor, when the mouse is "hovering" over a JTextField or JTextArea?

    OK heres where I get lost...
    If you run this program then move the mouse over the JTextField the JFrame will change the cursor to a TEXT_CURSOR but the JDialog will not.
    Can anyone make this happen for a JDialog??
    import java.awt.Cursor;
    import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
    import javax.swing.JDialog;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.JTextField;
    public class JDialogMouseTest extends JPanel{
        JTextField textField;
        public JDialogMouseTest(){
            textField = new JTextField();
            textField.addMouseListener(new MouseListener(){
                public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {

            add(textField);
        private void mouseEnteredEvent(MouseEvent e){
            textField.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.TEXT_CURSOR));
        public static void main(String[] args){
            JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
            JDialogMouseTest mouseTest = new JDialogMouseTest();
            dialog.setContentPane(mouseTest);
            dialog.pack();

  • How to put a image url to a text field in flex

    I am facing problem when getting
    a image  url  with the help
    of    FileReference ..  Actuallly  i want to display the  image url to a text field after browsing the image location when I press
    a button............. my code is given below
    private function getImageUrl():void {
                   private var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
                   fileRef.browse();
    Any one can help me to solve the problem

    Hi,
    If you use file reference with an AIR app you have access to the file path, with a browser based app security prevents you from having access to the file path you can access the name of the file only.
    this is an example of grab a list of files(images) using filereferencelist and filereference and displaying the image in a list, its a similar process for just getting a list of file names
    http://gumbo.flashhub.net/pagedrop/  sourcecode enabled (right click in the browser and select view source)
    for filereference  the name property will return the file name only not the path
    for filereferencelist you have the .filelist[X].name to get the file name.
    hope this helps

  • Text is truncated on the right side of a text field. How to solve?

    Hi group,
    I use CR for the .NET Platform 10.2 (VS 2005/.net2.0). In several cases the texts in my crystal reports are truncated on the right side of the text fields (which can show more than one line and which are set in the way that it increases if more than one line is needed).
    I created the CRs with CR in VS 2003. Then I migrated the VB.net project from VS 2003 to VS 2005. Then, when I opened a CR in VS 2005 and saved it again I got the message that it will be changed to the newer version if I click "yes" (or perhaps it was the "ok" button). I guess that was the moment the CR was migrated to the newer CR version.
    Because of the truncation problem I created one of the CRs completely new with exactly the same settings (i.e. the heigths of the sections, the widths of the text fields, and all the other setting are completely identical to the CR created in VS 2003). Interestingly, the texts are truncated in none of the text fields any more.
    Have I done the migration correcty? (Is it really opening the CR and saving it an saying "yes" or should I rather have done it in another way?)
    Does somebody of you already have had this kind of problem? How could it be solved without creating all CRs anew?
    Does recreating a CR which shows truncation of texts really solve it, or is truncation caused by something else, perhaps a certain property of a CR etc?
    The "printer" is set to "no printer" in all CRs. The truncation does show independent of whether the registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts" is set to 1 or to 0.
    Thanks for help in advance
    Kind regards
    Michael

    Hi Ludek,
    I already installed crvs05sp1 a few months ago (still traceable by the dir "C:Program FilesCommon FilesBusiness ObjectsPatchesCrystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Service Pack 1" on my computer).
    Unfortunately, I cannot find any fitting entry in the kbase. If I search for "text truncation" or "text truncated" i get results but they are about pdf or word or fixed truncation problems in older CR versions.
    It seems as if I am the only one who has to face this problem :-).
    Best,
    Michael

  • Presentation Variable in Text field

    Hi, I am trying to pass the text field parameter to Analysis from Dashboard Prompt.
    I can pass the selected value of check box, list item but value that I put into the text field.
    any idea how to do it?..
    Thanks.~

    Ok. here is what I found.
    if It's Column Value when I set up at the Dashboard prompt, I can use Analyze. But when you use in Convert this to SQL to set the filter, IT WON"T WORK.
    if you use Variable Value , it won't work at all.
    What I was trying to do was using Variable Value to use less Textfield to search on different Columns.. it looks not working at all~..

  • WHy is the cursor jumping to wrong position (mainly back to position 1 in the text field) as I try to post comments to peoples posts on Facebook?

    I love FIrefox browser and prefer to use it on all my devices, PC, Smart Tv, Phone, Tablet etc. In recent times Iv'e had problems though, everytime I try to comment on a facebook post with each key stroke the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the text field and by the time I finish typing I look up and find jibberish, yesterday I upgraded this RKM Mk902 Android device that I am typing on now unfortunately using Chrome from Anroid 4.2.2 to android 4.4.2 Kit-Kat and thought I would no longer have that problem but the issue is still there. I also have discovered I'm having similar problems with FireFox on my Cube U39GT tablet. As I spend more time on Facebook than any other website I have to find a solution. I thought it may of been one of the addons that i use causing the problems such as Phony but I still get the issue without the addons and after a clean install. Please help me sort out this problem so I can once more use FireFox on my Android devices.

    I found this, it seems that there are a few issues in Android as well with the wrong placement for the cursor when you type: [https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/465] but since it is only happening in facebook, this is odd.
    What this means is that they are working on fixing specific issues like this and I am not sure when this will be fixed.
    Does this happen with both keyboards that are offered in the Android Settings?

  • How to put cursor in a text field

    hi,
    I have a text field in my jsf page.By default I want to put the cursor into this text field.when a letter is entered into this text field,the data table below this text field must change depending upon the value entered into the text field.After this change also,the cursor must be in the same text field.
    how it is possible.
    when I entered any letter in this field,there is a call to the server.the cursor must be in that textfield after the call.

    Use DOM+JS.
    With element.focus() you can set the focus on the desired element.
    With the 'onkeypress' attribute you can execute some piece of Javascript on every key press, for example submitting the form or doing an AJAX request.

  • Putting cursor in input text field

    I'm trying to put the cursor in an input text field as soon
    as I get to a certain frame. I'm using Selection.setFocus() but it
    does not seem to work. It returns true but I still can't see my
    cursor and I can't type to the field until I click in it or tab to
    it. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm neglecting to do?

    mmmm just did that, I don't get the carret, but I can type
    just to be pedantic you did pass the TextField instance ie
    Selection.setFocus(myTextField )?
