Dynamic Drop Down Menu from an Access Database

Hello Everyone,
I am user Adobe Designer 7 to create a fillable PDF, and I would like to get the options for a drop down menu from my MS Access database. Basically I would like to populate the drop down menu with the names in the Access database. There i Have a table called PhoneNumbers and it contains the names of all the people I want to appear in the drop down menu that I just created.
This is what I did:
I created a drop down menu and then I clicked on Object > Binding > under "Default Binding (Open, Save, Submit)" choose "New Data Connection"
then connect to the database using a fileDSN. I opened the table where with the "names" column (PhoneNumbers)
and under the "Query," option, I wrote:
select * from PhoneNumbers
Then it gave me all the fields from the table and I dragged the "Last name" field over the drop down menu. I will need to find a way to get the "First Name" field to join the Last Name field to create one name that looks like this: Hill, Angie
The problem is that even though it shows the name from the Access database, it does not give me a list of all the names when I open the form in Reader 7...
No matter how much I click that drop down arrow, the name does not change...
It's almost as if it gets to the databse and gets the data from the database, but it cannot loop through it...
It's almost as if it's missing the code to loop through it...
Why is this? Any ideas how to fix it so it gives me a list of ALL the names, when I click on the drop down button?
After that, how can I add the first name to it?
The form would look like this:
Angie H. 202 641 2055
Right now it does look like that, but I cannot change to another name when I click the drop down menu. For the code to be working when I change to another name, the phone number also changes to the phone number of that person:
Barry S. 703 555 1258
The name is in a drop down menu, the phone number is in a textbox.
Can you help me with this?

ANGELA, Well, the good new is that you are not far off...What you need is to insert the following code using Java Script under the Initialize function. Just replace the Connection name, The Hidden Value, and the Display Text with your information. This is a function is 8.0 but will work with 7.0 /* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection. sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from. Note the data connection will appear in the Data View. sColHiddenValue - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. sColDisplayText - this is the display text column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating. These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly. Replace <value> with the correct value. */ var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection"; var sColHiddenValue = "CAT_Corp_SeqNo"; // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue"; var sColDisplayText = "CAT_Corporate"; // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription" // Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name var nIndex = 0; while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex); oDB.open(); oDB.first(); // Search node with the class name "command" var nDBIndex = 0; while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command") { nDBIndex++; } // Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction"); var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction"); // Clear the list this.clearItems(); // Search for the record node with the matching Data Connection name nIndex = 0; while(xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName) { nIndex++; } var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex); // Find the value node var oValueNode = null; var oTextNode = null; for(var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex++) { if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColHiddenValue) { oValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } else if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColDisplayText) { oTextNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex); } } while(!oDB.isEOF()) { this.addItem(oTextNode.value, oValueNode.value); oDB.next(); } // Restore the original settings oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction"); oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction"); // Close connection oDB.close();

Populating a Drop down menu JSP form

How to go about populating a drop-down form from Oracle Database using JSP?
I have the connecting to the Oracle Database running. I also can query forms, but i can't create a drop-down menu form.

Start the dropdown box with the regular select tags "<select name=this>"
Then open a JSP block and get a resutlset, loop through the resultset and and put the values from the resutlset into the <option> tags for the HTML.
Example
out.println("<option value=\"" + rs.getString(1) + "\">" + rs.getString(1) + ">");
Then close the loop and that should populate a dropdown within the html form.

I am having trouble (sleepless nights) with populating a drop-down list from an Access Database. The result is: I only get the first record from the data connection. So the connection works but I cannot go through the other records. Maybe there is an other way to do this.
I am trying to selectively fill a form with data from an MS-access database.
I hope someone can help me.

If you email the access DB and the form to [email protected], I will try to take a look at it for you.

Ichat drop down menu from menu bar shows up in the wrong place.

I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, ever since I've moved to college, my Ichat drop down menu from the menu bar shows up on the left side of my screen, and you can only see half of the menu. I don't know how to fix this problem so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
Sincerely,
Cody Martin

Yep.
Go to the Buddy List Status Message and option the Edit option.
Delete that Status Message that you have that is over 42 characters.
Ones of about 60 or more will introduce the "Left Shift" (And the fact the drop Down may line up with the right hand edge of the Menu Bar icon on in-between lengths)
In Snow Leopard it is possible to have a Long Message that displaces the Drop Down Off Screen.
The other factor is the order of the Menu Bar Icons on that side of the Screen
The iChat one can be Dragged if you use the Apple (CMD) key.
If the Drop Down can not fit the message in before the right hand edge of the Screen it will displace.

HT3819 I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar.
If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

How do I remove the autocomplete drop-down menu from textboxs, not the awesome bar?

I like having the drop-down menu from the url, but the autocomplete option for textboxs within like when I type my username and it pops up with all of the ones that has been used on that site are really annoying. How do I get rid for the latter? I didn't have this before I upgraded to Firefox, and now I can't get rid of it. Fyi, I'm rather tech inept, don't use complicated comp sci words please!

You can use History > 'Clear Recent History" to clear already saved form data.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Drop down Menu from UNDER a banner?

Here is an image of what I'm trying to create in Adobe Muse. I want the pictured drop down menu to appear to come from beneath the banner menu when you hover over the word "Accommodations".
I got a response from a staff member that said this was possible using the "Tooltip Widget" and using a trigger on top of the banner. When I tried using this widget it was impossible to put the target and the tooltip trigger on different layers, or at least it was impossible for me to figure out how.
Thus, the trigger for the dropdown had to be under the banner (and thus UNCLICKABLE) in order for the drop down to appear to be under the banner.
Can someone please clarify whether or not this is possible using this program? Here is a link to the original discussion... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1247488

Hmmmm.... you may have to look at an alternative method to execute this concept. Take a look at Edge Animate Not only can you creat this type of menu, but you will also have a more dynamic and vibrant menu

How can I create a drop down menu from an array

Hello all,
I am attempting to create a subvi that allows the end user to add a part number to an .txt file, and assigns that part number a value than can be used to select one of two modes of communication to be used to write to a EEPROM. I am using the "write key.vi" and the "read key.vi" to create and read the .txt file. What I would like to do is is use "get section names.vi" to read all of the part numbers and dump them into a drop down menu after the end user generates the file using the subvi.
I guess my question is how do I dump a 1D string array into a drop down menu.
I have attached some semi-functional .vi's to give an idea of what i am attempting to do.
Erik

Place a Ring control on your front panel, then create a property node on the block digram. You can wire the output array of "Get Section Names" to populate the Strings[ ] property of the Ring.
Retrieve the specific string selected by the operator by wiring the Ring control to the Index Array function.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Populating a Drop-Down Menu via xml in php

I am new at programming. I am looking for a way to link a drop menu to 3 drop down menus dynamically. In other words, the 3 ddm's will have the same options according to the value selected in first ddm. Can someone provide a tutorial for this? Also, i am using php to pull the data for those ddm's from xml file.
Thank You

php is server side... so you want user to choose option from dd menu #1, reload the page to populate dd menu #2 (process on server via php), choose option from dd menu #2, reload the page again to populate dd menu #3 (process on server via php), then finally choose option from dd menu #3 and then after reloading the page three times already (once for initial load and two more time for each subsequent server process) load the page for a fourth time to process the entire form entry? Whoa daddy... that's a lot of page loads.
Just want to be clear of your desire. I don't think you'll find many tutorials for the mentioned method. There are many, many three tier drop down menus in javascript that provide client side processing without page reload.

How can I cancel itunes match without the latest version of itunes? I can't get the drop down menu from the store

I have a mac which doesn't support the new itunes. The instructions I have from apple say that I have to use a pull down store menu from the itunes store and then I should be able to view my account and cancel by turning off the auto renew button next to itune match, The only trouble is I can't see the itune match at all.

Turning off the auto-renew does not cancel the service. To actually cancel, or turn off the service, you need to contact iTunes Store support. What the instructions are are getting is telling you to do is to cancel the auto-renew. You can accomplish that by, in iTunes:
1. Pull down the Store menu and select "view account."
2. Enter your credentials when prompted.
3. In the middle of the page click the hightlight button:

Need help placing my drop down menu from flash into Dreamweaver

I had this working once. I am ping one you smart ones can help me out wuth this. WHat am I doing wrong?

I have not used any CSS to code my website, have purely used tables in a html template.
Sorry to say, but you can't make drop-down menus without CSS code. Which begs the broader question, why are you afraid of learning CSS? It's much more efficient than tables and you can do so much more creative stuff with it.

When I open a drop down menu from the tool bar, and move the pointer down the list of choices, they become constantly "darkly highlighted" and the typefaces change to black making them unreadable.

As the pointer is moved down the list of choices in a drop down box, once the pointer passes each choice, that choice becomes constantly “darkly highlighted” and the type face of that choice turns black. So, as the pointer moves down the list of choices all of the choices become a block of darkly highlighted black text, making it impossible to read the choices which were passed over by the pointer.
It is though the HTML, JavaScript or Java attribute of ''*<code>onMouseover</code>'' is missing the attribute of ''*<code> onMouseout</code>'', thereby when the user moves the pointer off the boundaries of the element, that element retains the CSS given it by the''*<code> onMouseover</code>''

I should probably add that i am working in asp!
