Option for replaceable text in text fields? - as opposed to the box that appears when you hover

Is there any way I can add text that is seen inside the text field until a user begins to fill in that field? I'm creating a form to use with some of my company's vendors and I need to provide examples or directions for filling in the field and they are just not getting the hover over the text box to see the information.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can use a custom Format script like the following for text fields:
// Custom Format script for text field
if (!event.value) {
    event.value = "Instructional text goes here";
    event.target.display = display.noPrint;
} else {
    event.target.display = display.visible;
Do not place this script anywhere else other than the Format event.

  • How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

    Hi people,
    I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
    The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
    Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

    Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
    <div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

  • The "text in a yellow box" that appears when I hover the mouse over a selection or help tag.

    The "help tag" (Or in most cases the unwanted tag)  often is in the way of what I want to look at.
    This is especially true when you are looking at an item that has it's own pop up giving you a description or information.
    When you hold the mouse over say.... a movie icon in XFinity, the icon of the movie expands and gives a brief synopsis, date and actors of said movie. 
    Unfortunately, I cannot read the synopsis for the "Help Tag" blocks all the content forcing you to try different ways of pointing to the movie icon so you can read parts of the discretion from every angle of approach then piece it altogether in your mind.
    I DO NOT want "help tag".  It is extremely annoying and time consuming ergo it des not "help" it hinders.
    Can it not be disabled (Like balloon help in OS 9) so you do not have to feel anger and frustration every time you see that yellow tag?

    Ooo, I did not notice the article was from 2007.  Thansk for pointing that out.  I don't think I am going to try it.  It seems that with all the "little" apps the seem to keep growing in numbers, someone will come up with a solid program that would wok through system prefs.  I would pay the normal $20.00 for an app like that.

  • Is there a way to set distinct toned for MMS messages? I have a tone set for texts and this is also the one that sounds when a pic or video is sent to me. I was wondering if there's a way to set a separate one? Thanks!

    Hi...
    The recomended way of setting up Applleds is to have one common one for "the Stores" (iTunes, App Store & Mac App store) so that all purchases are shared, then a seperate individual account for iCloud syncing EACH
    So for instance you'd have [email protected] for the stores and [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] & [email protected] for the individuals
    Thats' what I've done here for myself, mrs & 4 kids.

  • How to disable auto-complete for a text field?

    I didn't find any attribute that controls this. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Recently I needed to use this feature, and after some research I found the answer.
    Just sharing the solution.
    I am aware that the auto-complete is a browser setting. But is there a way to let APEX not save the items entered before? Write a javascript?
    Because I have implemented Google suggest for a text field. Every time the suggestions pop up, the auto-complete items will also appear at the same time, which is very annoying.Put on your Page Item > Element > HTML Form Element Attributes : autocomplete="off"

  • If else conditional statements for dynamic text fields (as 2.0)

    This is about a self assesment quiz.There will be four options and each one has a scale from1-5 ie "option a" has 1mark, "option b" has 2marks,"option c" has 3 marks, "option d" has 4marks and "option e" has 5 marks and we count the answerd and we display the scor for example if there are 20 question in it if they answered "option e" 5 times the score will be
    25 and option d 5 times the score will be 20,anf if "option c" for 5 times the score will be 15,and "option b" for 3 times  the score will be 6 and "option a" two times the score will be 2, and we add up all the score and display in a dynamic text field called "scor" and the total score is 68.And i have another dynamic text field called "tsc" where i have to display the tags like excellent , good, better ......ect.
    Till now every thing is fine but i am unable to compare them it is displaying excellent even if i get 10 marks, i am unable to configure where i am going wrong.
    If the score is greater than 55 "tsc" should display Excellent, if the score is greater than 41 or less than 55 "tsc" should display Best, if the score is greater than 26 or less than 40 "tsc" should display Better,if the score is none of the above "tsc" should display Poor.
    This is my code on the submit button:
    on (release) {
        gotoAndStop("sQ");
        if (scor>=55) {
            tsc = "Excellent";
        } else if (scor == 41 && scor<=55) {
            tsc = "Best";
        } else if (scor == 26 && scor<=40) {
            tsc = "Better";
        } else if (scor == 10 && scor<=25) {
            tsc = "Good";
        } else {
            tsc = "Poor";
    where:
    "sQ" is the frame name where i am displaying the score details
    "scor" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying total score
    "tsc" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying the tags llike good, Excellent, better, poor.....etc
    Plese help.......

    Use trace commands to make sure that what you think you are processing is what is actually hapenning.
    Your middle conditionals are not written as you described them... any "==" should be ">="
    It is recommended you get away from using the textfield var option... it can be troublesome to work with.  Just assign an instance name to the textfield and assign the values to its text property... for instance, say you name it tscField, then you would use tscField.text = "Excellent";
    Also, realize that the gotoAndStop command will not happen until after all the code executes in case that matters
    on (release) {
        gotoAndStop("sQ");
        trace(scor);
        if (scor>=55) {
            tsc = "Excellent";
        } else if (scor >= 41 && scor<=55) {
            tsc = "Best";
        } else if (scor >= 26 && scor<=40) {
            tsc = "Better";
        } else if (scor >= 10 && scor<=25) {
            tsc = "Good";
        } else {
            tsc = "Poor";

  • How to set fixed size for inputfile text field

    Hi all,
    I am using inputfile component to test file uploading so I created a simple upload page. When I finished upload the file, the input text field will "shrink" its size and change the size to adjust the file name. Is there any way to set a fix size for input text field?
    Here is some part of the code:
    <af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
    <af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1">
    <af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
    value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
    columns="50"/>
    </af:panelHeader>
    <af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>
    FileBean:
    public void fileUpdate(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
    RichInputFile inputFileComponent = (RichInputFile)valueChangeEvent.getComponent();
    UploadedFile newFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
    UploadedFile oldFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getOldValue();
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    you can set columns attribute in af:inputfile. Please see highlighted area i have inserted to you code
    <af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
    <af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1" columns = "34" >
    <af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
    value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
    columns="50"/>
    </af:panelHeader>
    <af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>

  • InDesign CS6 how to set justification for form text field?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been playing with the ability to create form for PDF file but I haven't figure out how to set a center justification for a text field.  By default it's left.  Same thing for font, the one selected in InDesign while creating the form isn't used when editing the form in Acrobat.
    Do I need to create a paragraph style with a specific name to preserve both attributes?
    Thanks.

    InDesign CS6's forms features are great, but you're looking as version 1.0 of the feature. Those features cannot be set in InDesign.
    Furthermore, if you try to pick a font other than the standard ones at the top of the menu, don't expect that your form users will be able to pick those fonts when they open up the form in Reader or Acrobat. I'm pretty sure that custom fonts are not stored in the PDF form.

  • CR for VS2010 Text/Field Object Alignment Issue

    I have a report that displays several rows of data for each record.  I have a mix of text and field objects on each of the rows.  All objects are aligned correctly in the designer but at runtime there are a few objects that seem mis-aligned by about 5 px or so.  It's like the object is vertically aligned to the top.  It doesn't appear that there is a way to set the vertical alignment and i have checked the tops and heights of the objects.  What else could cause this mis-alignment?

    The link to http://screencast.com/t/aCzADERY is an actual design view, not the viewer view. I believe from your previous posts that you are using CR2010 and the ActiveX designer provided with that version of CR. What does the report look like when you actually view the report using the ActiveX viewer of the .NET IDE (e.g., in the .NET IDE, click the "Main Report Preview" tab.?
    Alternatively, once again we go back to the original suggestion that Don made a while back on one of your posts. What does the report look like when viewed in the CR 2011 stand-alone version of Crystal Reports viewer?

  • Where is Hint Box for Validation Text Field widget?

    I want to enter a hint for my form.
    I am following the instructions on the Adobe Using Dreamweaver CS4 page for Insert and edit the Validation Text Field widget page:
    <http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSEB5440BC-453A-4101-928C-302199E7E02F. html#WS8E6EA74E-87AC-4a81-A5CC-2DB6FB451DE0a>
    It says:
    Create a hint for a text field
    Because there are so many different kinds of formats for text fields, it is helpful to give your users a hint as to what format they need to enter. For example, a text field set with the Phone Number validation type will only accept phone numbers in the form (000) 000-0000. You can enter these sample numbers as a hint so that the text field displays the correct format when the user loads the page in a browser.
       1. Select a Validation Text Field widget in the Document window.
       2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter a hint in the Hint text box.
    However, the is no hint box in my Propeties area.
    How do I get this hint box to show up?
    Dreamweaver CS4, Windows Vista

    Hi David,
    My Property inspector looks different than what you have below.
    I do not have a Hint box and I do not have the Customize this widget.
    I did have a Hint box and the Customize this widget for CS3, howver not for CS4

  • Making a Text Field Required if User Checks box

    Hi,
    I am currently using Adobe Designer 7.0, and am trying to make a text field required if a user clicks on a check box above the text field.
    I have the following code for the check box (on Change) but it doesn't appear to be working!! Any suggestions??
    Thanks!
    if (this.rawValue == 1 ){
    TextField7.value = "User Entered - Required";
    else {
    TextField7.value = "User Entered - Optional";

    Hi Krisitan,
    you are trying to change the value of the field instead of it's accessability.
    Try this:
    if (this.rawValue == 1 ){
    TextField7.mandatory = "error";
    else {
    TextField7.mandatory = "disabled";

    I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

    Wifi:  my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections.  So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
    if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help.  You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service.   Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
    last resort.  Backup the phone.  Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
    if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
    HOWEVER.   voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.
