Pages Inserting Text in Form

I am using Pages and want to insert text on a line of a form. I have not been able to find a way to keep the line from extending as I add the text. Any suggestions?

Use inline textboxes for the form fields.

Inserting Text into a web page

I need to know how to insert text into a webpage, like google, search, and then get the result.
Using the wonders of the internet I have been able to display a webpage, and see the HTML code that is generated, however, I don't know how to insert text into a web page, or get the result.
Any help, or pointing into the right direction would be appreciated.

What do you mean by insert into web page? Like
prefill data on a form?
Or like a search on google? What are you using to
do this?
I am guessing based on the info you gave in your
question, that you might want to just look at the url
of the page. For example search on google and you
will see the text entered into the search field
inside the url. Learn from that and develop a url
that will search for the text you want to insert.
If I am not understanding you, please clarify.Right now, I'm using the URL to search for me, which will work, but the search can be different from website to website, and I would like something closer to an automated form filler if I need to implement something like this again.
Of course, something like an automated form filler would probably work better, if I were able to retreve the results

JDBC + SERVLET: inserting text data to access file from Html form

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to insert text data from my html form to access database using servlet and jdbc technologies.
The problem that I'm that the data is TEXT, but not the English language !!!
So my access db file gets - ???????? symbols instead the real text.
This is the form line that sending data to my servlet:
<form
method="POST"
ACTION=http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet enctype="text/html">
And this is servlet line that defines response content:
res.setContentType( "text/html" );
What can I do to get in access db file the right text format and not a ???????? symbols.
Maybe I must to ad some <meta ...> , but where ?

You're dealing with Unicode, I'd guess, and not ASCII.
I guess I'd have two questions:
(1) Is the character encoding on your pages set properly for the language you're trying to use?
(2) Does Access handle Unicode characters?
Access isn't exacly a world-class database. (If it was, there'd be no reason for M$ to develop SQL Server.) I'd find out if it supports other character sets. If not, you'll have to switch to a more capable database that does. - MOD

Inserting text into a Pages document with Applescript

I want to create a Pages document from a custom template but be able to insert text at various points in the document (inputted data under headings etc). I would like to use Applescript but cannot get insertion points to work, is this possible? As usual, all help gratefully accepted.

I have made a Pages template that contains tables and I want to enter text into sections of these tables
That's a completely different story! But that's still possible using GUI Scripting. Here's an example:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    select table 1 of body text of front document
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
        set theWindow to window 1 whose role description is "standard window"
        click button "Table" of tool bar 1 of theWindow
        keystroke "Cell A1"
        keystroke tab
        keystroke "Cell B1"
        key code 125 -- down arrow
        keystroke "Cell B2"
        -- and so on
    end tell
    select insertion point after table 1 of body text of front document
end tell

Inserting text form a textfile into a JtextArea

Hi,
Im trying to insert text form a textfile into a JtextArea ex the textFile is called Words.txt
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
ta.insert("Words.txt", 0);what im getting in the textarea is Words.txt and not the text in it.
So what shall i do to place the text in the textarea??
Matt

Shall i pass the the name of the file ??Not sure where you would get that idea as a String is, well, a String and NOT a Reader.
Did you read the javadoc for Reader? Well, luckily I did and one type of Reader is a FileReader, which, amazingly enough, reads characters from a file. So, when you give the JTextArea (a type of JTextComponent) the Reader, it will read characters until its done, inserting them into its Document. Putting this all together, you get:
// yes, finally the string you pass refers to a file name
textArea.read(new FileReader("Words.text"),null);

Can't insert text into web page plus script error message

I'm using CS3 and, on a fairly regular basis, when I am either pasting or inserting content (usually a newsletter of 500-1000 words), I get a message saying something like I can't insert text in this area. I definitely can insert text in the area as I have done it tons of times before. I sometimes have to cut and past a doc line by line to get it to insert. Very frustrating!
Also, just recently, I've been getting a script error message, "An error has occurred in the script of this page" followed by Line: 992, Char: 106, Error: Unterminated String Constant, followed by the question: Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? I click Yes and everything seems to work fine.
Help on either would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to make sure you are trying to copy plain text. It's possible that if you are copying from a Word document or another Web site that you are bringing along extra unseen code it doesn't like. Try copying into Notepad first and then copying from Notepad into Contribute. Not sure if that's the problem or not, but that's what came to my head first.
I used to get an error that sounds similar (however it's not reproducing the error for me right now) to your error. It was because some of my users had javascript menus on their page that Contribute didn't like. However, if worked fine when you clicked yes and it was fine once it was published. So if you are running a script that's probably why and I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you can continue working and the page displays to your users correctly once published. It's just annoying.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Cannot insert a page to a pdf form because it is in xml format. do not want to embed as an attachment. Is there a way to resolve?

I have a pdf fillable form I have created, but when I wanted to add a cover page I received a message that could not add to a xml form. Suggestion was to attach (embed). Is there any other option?

Thank you for your quick response. I am using Live Cycle Designer 2. How do I change the form in Live Cycle Designer to be compatible with a pdf file so I can combine the pages? Or how can I manually add the cover page (as the first page) to the current form created in Live Cycle Designer.

How to change the page break in adobe forms

Does anyone know how to change the page break on an adobe form? I'm hoping it will be the same way you change the page view in excel.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,

HI
 YOU CAN USE THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM FIELDS OF SMARTFORMS FOR THE MENTIONED PURPOSE
&SFSY-PAGE& 
 Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
 Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output
&SFSY-JOBPAGES& 
 Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, Aron

I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(őű) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:
http://209.85.117.174/pages/proba/chartest/utf8_1/form.cfm
Thanks, Aron

How to Edit Text in Forms

I previously bought an Education version of Acrobat 5.0 and it only allowed me to edit documents about 5 times before the feature was turned off in the software, I guess because it was the education version. Now I bought a Full Version of Acrobat 5.0 after reading an online product review that said version 5 was perfect for most regular PC users who only need to change a form occassionally and are not creating forms that need to be protected or very elaborate etc. etc. Hopefully version 5 can do some of what I need to do but so far no luck.
When I scan a document into my computer and create a PDF file in version 5 now I am unable to make simple editing changes in text within any parts of the document. I don't create anything very fancy and only really bought this older version so I could make a couple changes to text and Headers of old forms I use in my everyday business but since I changed companies I would like my new company logo on the forms and be able to edit some of the text in different parts of the form. I checked the security settings after scanning a form in and it says everything is allowed, printing, form field fill in, editing etc. ..... what I am not doing correctly???

A Scan is nothing more than an image of a page of text and images. You will have to OCR, Optical Charater Recognition, to access the text contained within the image.

In a document with several sections, in section VIII and IX one cannot select the text of the page foot nor set the pointer in it; so, one cannot write nor change the page foot text. Please help!

in a document with several sections, in section VIII and IX one cannot select the text of the page foot nor set the pointer in it; so, one cannot write nor change the page foot text. Please help!

Question already asked and answered several times.
It's a bug striking in long documents.
Select a word somewhere higher in the page then use the arrows to reach the wanted insertion point.

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?

How to get the source code of an HTML page in Text file Through java?
I am coding an application.one module of that application is given below:
The first part of the application is to connect our application to the existing HTML form.
This module would make a connection with the HTML page. The HTML page contains the coding for the Form with various elements. The form may be a simple form with one or two fields or a complex one like the form for registering for a new Bank Account or new email account.
The module will first connect through the HTML page and will fetch the HTML code into a Text File so that the code can be further processed.
Could any body provide coding hint for that

You're welcome. How about awarding them duke stars?
edit: cheers!
